Toast to a New Blog Before the New Year




Hello world of blogging! The past year I've been trolling the internet and saturating myself with some of the most wonderfully curated blogs created by different bloggers and I started seriously tossing up the idea of starting my own. One of the most wonderful aspects of these blogs was that each post accumulated into a digital archive of unique moments (both BIG and wee) that were experienced by the author, and then shared as "narratives" with the world.

My main source for hesitating came from the doubt (and I admit fear) that I would have nothing to contribute to an already rich mass of existing blogs. However, I decided that there was no point in worrying about something that could or wouldn't happen until I tried. One thing I can promise myself is that the images (photographs and illustrations) I place up on my posts will all be mine. I just recently bought a FujiFilm x-t10 (which I have fondly named Jiro) and have been snapping everything and anything that I find interesting and attractive.

So here's to the first step of starting something I have never done before. The mixture of both nerves and excitement is a rather conflicting feeling.
The image above was taken at my uni. I was walking towards the bus stop and (being an architecture student) couldn't help but stop in my tracks to admire the old heritage-listed stone facade of the Elisabeth Murdoch Building sitting in front of the modern teal cladding of the Ian Potter Museum. History meets Present.
