Everything Old is… So Different
February 7, 2010No Comments
Have you ever noticed the way kids’ entertainment is changing? Things are getting brighter, blockier and simpler every day. My pet peeve at the moment is how classics that I loved as a child have been changed to appeal more to today’s children. I’m thinking of books in particular, since they were such a big [...]

Today Claire, Dan and I spent some time taking photos of each other, using facepaints and balloons as props. We didn’t really know what we were doing, so we just went with the flow. I was the scariest scaryclown you’ve ever seen – I’m eagerly awaiting photos from Dan’s camera to see if any are [...]
Sweet Alice

This was a quick snapshot that I managed to sneak during my niece’s birthday last week, which I’ve edited up to make it a little more formal. She has just turned six, and her birthday party was a Mad Hatter’s tea party. Naturally, she was Alice. She did look unusually sweet in her long, sparkly [...]
Raindrops… on My Window… Make Me Happy

*sings* Like I should be. *singing stops*
A little over an hour ago, it started raining. I can’t remember the last time it rained, and before it got dark it was obviously pouring as far out as Nunamara. I hate to talk about the weather excessively, but it really is lovely! I had another photo all [...]
Flying a New Flag

Does Australia’s flag need to change to reflect our changing government and society?
This question has been flicking through my brain since Dan asked it in this post. As I mentioned there, I do have some patriotic feelings for the red, white and blue colours – but the main bone of contention for people who offer [...]
Mooning About

It’s not a great photo, but I took this one from the back porch of my sister’s house in Ringarooma. It’s a time delay shot, which accounts for the lack of clarity, and I was tripodless. Nevertheless, I think it’s the most successful photo like this that I’ve ever taken. There’s something special about sitting [...]
Battle of the Browsers
February 1, 20104 Comments
The other night I decided to put aside my completely unwarranted bias and give the Google Chrome internet browser a chance to prove what it can do. I’ve had the thing installed on my computer for months, but until now I’ve only used it when the nerdy situation arose and I needed to sign in [...]
Painted Faces – Maori
January 30, 2010No Comments
I’ve saved my almost-favourite face for last! I guess this will be the last post for a few days, unless I’m back from Ringarooma already, in which case I’ll be updating tomorrow, hopefully! ;-D
But let me just say… I’d make a lousy Maori.
I am Anna 'Relle, and this is my space to share my existential crises, my slowly improving sketchings and any other stochastic writing, photography or artwork that occurs to me. I'm making the effort to keep posts as regular as possible, hence the challenges with other bloggers. Like what you see? See room for improvement? Let me know!
