a study in pastels

Monday, July 04, 2011

Last Wednesday was just about as full a day as I've ever had. I woke after four hours of sleep to perpetual drizzle and dashed off with my family to the service centre, first in line, for a replacement car part that they didn't have. It was onto Ashfield for some shopping and visiting of family friends, followed by gobbling down McDonald's (something I haven't had for a good two years) near my university before dashing to meet two lovely girls for a shoot in the afternoon.

When in doubt, I find myself retreating to the tranquillity of the Royal Botanical Gardens. It was lovely even in the rain with roses and blossoms draped by tiny spiderwebs and diamonds. Unfortunately the shoot itself was much shorter than anticipated - the girls had to leave before we could make the most of the afternoon light that had finally broken through the clouds, and time was wasted waiting for the rain to ease. 

This is a selection of the photos that came through.
