I Feel Empty

Posted on 31, Aug

Today I visited the New Sydney Hotel for lunch with some fellow nerds.  On the way in I stopped to check out a nice big hole in the ground.  Big holes have always fascinated me, so I really could not resist.  Even better, there was an excavator working. The big hole is  along the Brooker Highway, between the Tasmanian Polytechnic building and the Hobart Officeworks store.  This space has been occupied by a car park behind some old original cottages in Campbell St.  As for what they are doing there, I have no idea.

I looked straight down from where I stood against the fence, and it is really a very deep hole.  There were markings on the ground leading to a manhole shaft so I guess they are going to be adding some drainage.  Will be interesting to watch.

After I turned to leave I noticed something very cool.  Someone had come along and inserted a heap of plastic cups into the fence, and spelt out the words “I FEEL EMPTY”.

Both photos taken with the Hipstamatic camera app on an iPhone 4.

Snow!

Posted on 30, Aug

Mt Wellington and the hills around Hobart have all seen a decent amount of snow lately.  It is very rare that we actually get snow around the populated parts of the city, and when we do, it is even rarer that it settles.  Mt Wellington can get quite a good coating of snow and while it is not any good for skiing, it is a lot of fun to go up and play in.

This was the first time Lucas, our three year old, had seen the snow.  He really loved it. This is is first ever snowman, who he was very very sad to have to leave behind when we left…

This is another snowman I found, he was actually pretty tall, and was standing just off the side of the road near the observation deck.

Just a quick post today, of the grass seeds blowing around in the wind on the side of the road.

Love the natural vignette in this shot.

Dry Tasmanian Winter

Posted on 27, Aug

It has been a very dry winter in Tasmania this year.  There has been so little rain, the grass has not recovered from summer.  Despite the cold wet weather we have managed to get around Hobart the last week or two, most of the paddocks and fields around the place are far from green.

I took this shot this afternoon around the back of Brighton, the sun hitting the dry hill juxtaposed nicely with the dark storm clouds forming overhead .

Engagement Photos

Posted on 24, Aug

Just got engaged?  Congratulations!  It is a wonderful feeling when you find “the one”, the question gets popped, and its all official.

But now the work really starts, so much to organise!  Which is probably why you are searching the internet for a wedding photographer, right?  Well once you have checked out the site, get in touch and book an Engagement Shoot.

Why?  Well here are three great reasons to get engagement photography…

We get photos of our babies, family portraits, school pictures, weddings and other significant stages of our lives, and your engagement is another one of these landmarks.  It is a time in your life you will look back on with fondness, and beautiful photos will help keep that memory alive forever.

Engagement photos are useful!  Use the photos on your save-the-date or wedding invitation, buy cleanskin bottles of wines and use the photo for custom labels to give to special wedding guests, or hang a beautiful large print at the ceremony.

Think of engagement photography like test driving a car.  It’s a great way for us all to get to know each other, and learn how we work, before the big day.  We can sort out the style of photography you like, and figure out what you don’t like, before the wedding day, without the pressure of time and location constraints.

So there you have it, three reasons why you should book an engagement photography shoot.

Actually, lets make that four reasons.  If you book your wedding photography with Nigel Honey Photos, you will get $150 off the price of your wedding package!
