Dom was there on a much more important mission. He was documenting the changes in Mongolia due to urbanisation. He made a documentary and magazines wanted to write about him so we took some photos for them!
In case any of you are wondering “what blue combie?”
Here are a few photos I look in Mongolia when I was there in about 2005. These are taken on film… remember those days?
This shoot was for Hazeldene in the Yarra Valley. Hazeldene is a beautiful retreat in the Yarra Valley. It is very popular for weddings but Hazeldene wanted some photographs which also showcased their accommodation options and facilities for corporate clients. It’s a stunning property with heaps of nooks and crannies to enjoy the surroundings. I highly recommend you check it out! I am thinking it’s be perfect for Lizzy C’s next corporate retreat!
Thanks to Rachael for assisting me on this one.

These are some photographs I took of a cafe in Kyoto, Japan of the owner Takaaki Matsumoto and his cafe Ichigo Ichie. It is tucked away in the inner suburban sprawl of Kyoto and is a welcoming front of colour in a sprawling mass of 3 storey apartment buildings.
The most recent Hive event’s guest speakers were Tom and Fenn from Adioso. Adioso is a fully flexible and natural language flight tool. Basically, it is an awesome way to find and book flights online. I’ve personally used it numerous times and can’t stop raving about it…It just makes so much sense. You can type really vague searches such as Melbourne to Japan in October and it finds you all the discount flights for that route in October instead of having to search specifically for each airport in Japan or every date in October.
I actually first met Tom and Fenn about a year ago and they are just lovely down to earth guys who on a backpacking trip came up with an idea… So support adioso.com and keep an eye on their story as I am sure it will be the next big thing…
Back to The Hive…
The guys had been taking photos of the event on their iphones, which “surprisingly” they weren’t getting images that illustrated the relaxed atmosphere of the event or the crowds they were pulling in. So along came me… and even though I had an iphone in my pocket, I used my slr to capture a few images (some seen in this post) which I think might better illustrate the event…
Leave a comment if you’d like to defend the iphone’s camera quality!
