My Melbourne photos from the photoswap with Margrethe from Norway

Oh the joys of a Melbourne spring! Sunny 28 one day, rainy 8 the next... thankfully there is always just enough light to snap up the sights of the city.

I can hardly believe that it is already November, the year has gone so fast & so many things have happened. Next weekend I am spending a long weekend in Sydney, a little mini break is exactly what I need & if I manage to take some photos while I'm there, that's a bonus. (Although I am limiting myself to only taking 3 cameras with me!) I'll also be catching up with a couple of old friends from the UK & Europe that I've not seen in ages... fun times!

Then 3 weeks after that I am back in Sydney for a Blogshop workshop which I'm going to with the spectacular photographer Olivia... we are making a big girls weekend away of it & I just can't wait for cocktails harbourside & learning loads of neat new photoshop skills.

Sometimes you just need a little travel time to clear your head & heart.

Norway photos from the photoswap with Margrethe.

This year I participated in the annual Photoswap run by Rhianne from For The Easily Distracted, which involved swapping film with another film photographer in another part of the world. I was teamed up with the incredibly talented Margrethe from Norway.

Above are a few of the photos from the film that Margrethe sent me from Norway (you can see the remainder of photos from this film here.), but in my next post I will also post the photos from the film I sent to Margrethe.

I just realised today that Margrethe & myself share our birthday, November 18th (however a few years separate us)... what a lovely coincidence!

It was so lovely to be involved in this project & I can't wait to see everyone's photos over on the Flickr group!

Oh Hai Hiatus!


Vignetting Victoria Exhibition photos by Patrick Boland (except the last one)

Apologies for the little mini hiatus... life suddenly became very busy post-exhibition season & I only now getting back into the swing of daily life.

The Vignetting Victoria Lomography exhibition was an amazing success, and I am incredibly thankful to all of you who supported me through it's planning, organisation & running. Most especially Lomography Australia/NZ, No Vacancy Project Space & Brooklyn Brewery, hopefully this is just the start of a thriving Lomography community here in Melbourne. Thanks also to all those Lomographers who contributed to the exhibition, it was lovely to meet some of you & have you share in the experience.

It was an absolute pleasure to meet all of those who visited the exhibition & to meet so many fellow Melbourne Lomographers while teaching workshops. I can't wait to get more Lomography events & workshops started so I can continue to share the LomoLove around.
