I can’t believe the year is almost over. It has been a busy but fun year.\u00a0 Here are a collection of photographs I’ve taken over the year. Hope you enjoy.<\/p>\n

Hobart<\/h2>\n

Earlier in the year (note – 3am on New Years Day) I thought it would be a great idea to apply for a job in Melbourne and move away from Hobart for a bit. I applied for a job later that day without actually thinking I’d get an interview but soon found out they wanted to hire me and I had 10 days to move over.\u00a0 Find somewhere to live, move all my belongings over, no biggy? It was a rush and a mad fortnight of trying to spend time with everyone before I went. These images are all captured during this time.<\/p>\n

Star trails – <\/strong>New years day
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was the first time I’d been to Mona Foma since it started a few years ago. Friends and I made an effort to get along to as much as possible which was a blast. I’m disappointed I’ll be missing it next year especially with word Girl Talk is playing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h6>\n
\"\"
\n\"\"<\/a><\/h6>\n

All man on my pink chair…\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I started a little project called The Travelling Camera<\/a>. I’ve been lazy with it this year but it’s a project where an Olympus OM-2n film camera sent with a list of things to photograph to friends. So far three people have done the project and just waiting on a fourth. If you’re interested in participating in it next year, be sure to contact me.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Before I left I was rather keen to tag along on a trip up to the Great Lakes with Sam Shelley<\/a>. It’s an amazing place and somewhere I hope to explore more when I one day move back to Tasmania.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

During the 10 days, I had to quickly find somewhere to live in Melbourne. I flew over to Melbourne for the day to look at four places, all of which offering me leases. It worked out well and I was able to pick the unit I wanted most.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But it was soon time to pack up and move away.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Leaving Devonport on the Spirit of Tasmania<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h6>\n

Melbourne<\/h2>\n

Arriving into Melbourne at 6am and being greeted by 30 degree heat.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The first few months of moving over I was rather lazy and went into tourist mode.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

AFL<\/strong> – Watching Carlton draw against Essendon. I ended up going to 7 games throughout the year which is odd as I don’t actually have a team.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Albert Park –<\/strong> Where I sometimes like to go running.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Drinking possibly a little too much coffees.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Discovering a new found love in ph?.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nWorking those star jumps…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nLong exposure of traffic entering Exhibition Street (near work).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Throughout the year I had a play with some timelapse. I’m lazy and never got around to finishing the clip but here is a selection of clips captured throughout the Melbourne CBD.<\/p>\n\n

Oh… And of course a yoyo clip (much to the amusement of the guys I work with who randomly came across my Youtube channel).<\/p>\n\n

Shrine of Remembrance<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Living reasonably close to the city, I sometimes like to run or walk home. Taken during winter as I was leaving work.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Another photo as I made my way home from work.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Back to Hobart Briefly…<\/h2>\n

I went back to Hobart for my birthday to catch up with friends and family. Having not been taking many photographs since moving to Melbourne, I was pretty keen to have some early mornings and shoot some sunrises.<\/p>\n

Mt Wellington<\/strong> from the Hobart Eastern Shore.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Overcast sunrise at South Arm, Tasmania<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Playing around with reflections at Eaglehawk Neck on sunrise<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Back to Melbourne<\/h2>\n

When I got back to Melbourne I was asked to photograph our IT staff for the staff intranet and phone book. It was different but fun.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A friend –<\/strong> I like this one.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It took me a while to start leaving the city and taking photographs. I was lucky to meet some guys who shared the same interest as me so we made a few trips throughout the year.\u00a0 This series is from Marysville<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Playing around at Docklands<\/strong> on sunset<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Cape Woolamai<\/strong> – I took a trip down to Cape Woolamai, Phillip Island with some friends who I also went to Marysville with. It was probably my favourite place I’ve taken photos all year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Clouds passing above during a 13 minute exposure at Elwood Beach<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And finally, another trip back to Marysville<\/strong> on a cold and wet morning. Probably my second favourite set from this year and a nice set to close with.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoyed these photographs and thank you for all the support from people who have commented and emailed throughout the year.<\/p>\n
