James Craig -150 Years by Leanne Lindsay

On this day, I had gone into Sydney on the ferry in the hopes of taking some street photographs. On the harbour, in the distance, I could see a boat spraying up water. I didn't take much notice of it but after an hour or so, I started getting curious and paid it more attention. The boat started getting closer and I could see an armada of sail boats of various ages and characters heading towards me. It was then I realised that this parade was to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the James Craig. This magnificent sailing ship was built in Sunderland, England, and launched on 18 February 1874. In her early life James Craig carried cargo far and wide, rounding Cape Horn 23 times. She is Australia's oldest working tall-ship.

Sometimes a gray afternoon can spark a little creativity in the kitchen! The rain was coming down in sheets the other day, and I just wasn't in the mood to be stuck inside. But instead of curling up on the couch, I decided to combine my love of baking with my love of photography. I whipped up a batch of these delicious blueberry macarons, and while they were baking, I prepped my camera to capture them. Even though the weather outside was gloomy, the warm light from my living room window created a perfect spotlight for my little morsels. I love how the camera captured the vibrant colors of the blueberries against the deep grey plate. And baking always makes my kitchen feel cozy and inviting, so it was only fitting that the photo turned out the same way.

The vibrant atmosphere of Luna Park Sydney buzzed around me. Drawn to the thrilling section of the park, I found myself captivated by a particular ride. This contraption defied gravity, whirling riders, flying through the air, their legs flung wide. Intrigued, I captured a black and white image from below. The riders, silhouetted against the sky, let out joyous cries that echoed through the park. Their unrestrained expressions mirrored the exhilaration of the ride. While the experience undoubtedly offered a surge of adrenaline, I found a curious sense of serenity observing their uninhibited joy. Perhaps it was the raw display of human experience, or the comfort of knowing my own feet were planted firmly on the ground. Regardless, capturing this scene in black and white proved just as thrilling as any ride, a testament to the captivating energy found within Luna Park.
