#iheartfaces photograhy: Week 13 - “Dramatic B&W” Photo Challenge!

i've decided to use a photo that i recently posted in the dramatic B&W photo challenge. i like this picture because the face says it all. I also thought it was an interesting backdrop of a busy cafe and i really like the light by the window. and i guess the subject is a bit cute :P

Breakfast: Luxe Bakery, Newtown

On a quest to find the best breakfast in Sydney, we decided to Luxe Bakery in Newtown. We noticed this relatively new addition to missenden rd when we were getting our coffee at Campos one week and decided to check it out the next week.

Luckily we ducked in the week before to check they were open on Sunday because I don't think they have a website yet nor did they have a land line installed at their premises to check their trading hours. All in all, it seemed like quite a new place.

When we arrived there were quite a few people tuckered in for breakfast, so we grabbed a nook by the window (nice light there too) and proceeded to read the giant board filled with bread inspired breakfasts'

Menu was simple but had nice variety I thought, decor of the place was a bit sparse with exposed beams and all but i liked the counter where it showed delightful pastries and its back wall filled with preserved vegetables - interesting light fixtures too. i felt it was a bit like a warehouse.

We had the poached eggs with handmade baked beans and roasted tomatoes and we also got the scrambled eggs with chives and parmasen and might i add the tastiest soy & linseed bread i have ever tasted!

Great simple breakfast and not bad coffee - although hard to beat campos next door. So check it out for affordable and tasty simple food

Cormac the council worker

An adventure to the ATM required us to put on yellow vests. Highlight of my day.

Phone Play!

It's amazing how kids pick up actions, words and sounds by mimicking those around them. This particular night demonstrated this perfectly. After seeing his mum & dad on the phone; talking and laughing. He thought that he might have a go at it too. 

The first two photos are showing how curious he is over my great big camera

Then he starts dialling a phone number on his phone and has a grand conversation!

Laughter ensues, must be a good conversation!

Time to say bye! good night!

post later, back log of 3 months. sigh. march madness currently happening, weddings galore!

Working late shenanigans

Apparently the powder puff look. How cute

Caught my first fish!

Here I am, fishing off a jetty in northern NSW in a place called yamba. I've been unlucky the last 2 days, but today i caught a little angel fish. They've been nibbling all the prawns we've been using as bait. We've also caught catfish, brim, whiting and flathead. Fishing is quite fun but takes patience which is something i lack. But taking time out has helped that. See you back in town

Photography 101 - Night Time!

Since i have extra time this morning,I'll post the photos that we took during dusk/night time as part of my class. We went out and trekked around the Opera House and the Rocks area with 2 models on hand to pose for us. Quite amusing, at one point we were outside the Opera House with a red carpet event inside and they thought the photography class were papparazi harrassing these 2 volunteer models. 

hi ho, off to work i go. 

bye!
