3 Good F’s: Friends, Food, Festivities

The month of December means holidays, parties, excessive shopping and a lot of tinsel. Here in Melbourne, Australia it also means the start of summer and sweltering 38 degree days. So when my friends and I caught up before everyone was too busy with their own holiday schedules, it was a no-brainer to visit the Aviary on Victoria St after dinner. Sure could use one of those cocktails right about now!


The photo of the watch was taken by my good friend Marie while she was marveling at Jiro. It could be an ad out of a catalogue!

This is the first time I’ve ever shot with Jiro in the evening and I’m starting to really appreciate the advice “experiment with different natural lighting” given by professional photographers. I love the level of contrast between the light and shadow coming out in these shots. I’ve always wondered how the professionals achieved that beautiful quality of depth and mood in their photos. Now I know how!
