I always struggle with
celebrating Australia Day. It comes with a conflict, a perfect example was when
I went to the shops this morning and a guy was wearing a t-shirt with the
slogan "If you don't love it f__k off".
So the perfect celebration
for me was this evening. Fish and chips at the park followed by a walk along
the river.
Photo of our family taken by
random stranger...setting thought in motion for something more.
Last year Jodi inspired me to pick up my camera and
turn the focus inward. This year I have opted to continue with the series as I
feel there are still so many family stories to be told through photos. So I
will continue to Link up with Jodi (the artist formerly known as Che
& Fidel now Practising
Simplicity) for the 52 Project.
You guys are a beautiful family!

ReplyDeleteLovely Julie, I struggle with the stupid surrounding Australia day too. Love seeing Jarvis in the Pink Floyd top, Eve has that one too!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what Australia day is all about... guess ill have to read up on it. Anyway, despite your feelings about it, I'm sure you enjoyed your time with your husband and child and really that's all that matters :D. I love the photographs.
ReplyDeleteoh and I moved my blog www.emilyjaneblog.com
ReplyDeleteI think that family portrait is a lovely one. We watched the Australia Day ceremony on TV, it made me cry, but mostly just seeing beautiful Canberra and feeling so 'homesick' Much love xoxox
ReplyDeleteStill following with blog lovin
ReplyDeleteYou are a woman of many homes! I am sure Australia misses you more than you miss it.
ReplyDeleteAustralia Day is when the first white settlers came to Australia. This date is debatable, but for me it excludes Australian Aboriginals who had lived here for years before hand. It seems to be a day that brings out much racial tension among all races.
ReplyDeleteJustin has a huge collection of band t-shirts, I think he would love if Jarvis had more
