Peace Love & Harmony

Being somewhat obsessed by Buddha and the Gods who bring peace, love, harmony and understanding the 2095 chick likes to hunt them down and struck gold at her favourite Sunday Northern Beaches Market: Frenchs Forest.

Sometimes in life, it's important to stop, take a breath, remove the external "noise" and just be.

Love is in the Air

Being somewhat obsessed with love-hearts as they usually photograph beautifully, this 2095 market chick decided (on a whim) how many love hearts she could spot in one day at a single market.

Therefore I present to you, 10 love heart shots taken at Double Bay Organic Market

Nick's Orange Grove Markets Orchids

As a photographer the 2095 chick tends to select "things people wouldn't ordinarily see" even more so at markets or when out and about.  

Traditionally she is not one who gets the "ooh" and "ahhh" satisfaction from obsessively capturing leaves and trees.

However there is one particular plant that is almost impossible to resist. It is deceptively simple in its flawlessness & this is somehow magnified once viewed from behind the lens.  

Each Orange Grove market visit, the 2095 chick MUST shoot this amazing flower at all costs, and somehow is able to identify the latest addition to an already amazing collection with no prompting from Nick (dubbed The King of Orchids)

So for my friend Nick my top 10 shots of your beautiful orchids

however given it is me, be assured there will be more of Nick's gorgeous flowers and plants in blogs to come

Vince's Veggies

Vince's Veggies, a set by john_photo2097 on Flickr.

Every once in a while someone special comes in to your life and for me, that was Vince.

Every Sunday at start of Market, mid way through market and end of market we would always have a giggle about goings on, talk about life the universe and everything and with his wisdom he guided me emotionally if I was down, joked if I was being "smart", but above all he was there always ready to listen.

I wanted sooo much for him to meet my Uncle Tony as they were incredibly similar. Maybe that's why I loved Vince so much.

Perhaps it was because he was of the old school where as long as you did him right he would do you right.

My heart aches for his family, especially his grandson with whom I collaborated to write a very special article regarding Vince a few weeks ago.

Last night the 2095 raised a toast to the man called Vince, shed quite a few tears at the loss of a beautiful human being yet feeling blessed to have had him in her life along with so many others.

Farewell my darling friend. God speed. I (like many others) will always miss and love you to the ends of time
