Your Mission Should You Choose To Accept It …

On a recent trip to Melbourne, my friend Alana and I checked out the Fitzroy Market on a hot Saturday morning.  A myriad of vintage delights were on offer including the Ukulele Band who turned up to entertain the crowd.  Alana left with some impressive purchases and my special find was an 80’s Milano watch.

Alana recently bought a Canon 1100D camera and is learning about it’s manual functions.  I gave her some guidance, then sent her on a colour mission round the market.  She chose purple as her colour theme and off she went.  The brief was to photograph 9 purple items, but once she started there was no stopping her!  Check out Alana’s blog and purple post here  http://www.copescuriosities.com/   In the mean time, I chose red and here’s what I found in a short space of time…

What a great day we had Alana, thanks so much.

Today Hillary and I introduced Jan to our sketch meetings.  We spent about 3 hours gossiping, sketching, drinking coffee, eating and there was a show & tell.

This was my left-handed attempt at capturing the scene as if I was a fly on the ceiling.

Yet another entry in my left hand journal.  Another satisfying session in a cafe with a friend, a journal and good coffee  :)
