“As we go through life we gradually discover who we are, but the more we discover, the more we lose ourselves.”

Rooftop

As young explorers me and the boyfriend decided to uncover of Aucklands best kept secrets. The observation deck of the Oracle building. I wanted to go up there beause I really wanted to take some shots with a stunning view of the city but when we got to the observation deck (after getting lost about 4 times, then realising we kept walking right past it), we discovered that in order to get anywhere remotely close to the edge you had to tresspass. But it was a nice location anyway, and i'd definately go back for more shoots but if you're looking for a great view of the city, the Observation deck is not the place to go.

12/52 Winter is coming

12/52

Winter is coming. The days are getting shorter, the nights are getting darker and the nights, colder. Cracked pavements and shallow drains have become unwilling cemeteries where leaves get laid to rest. We're entering what is fondly referred to as cuddle weather. This is a transitionary state when one season changes to the next. We're on a journey, we haven't yet reached the destination. I guess this is a bit of a metaphor for where I am at the moment. It's an uneasy feeling. At least with seasons, we know what's coming, and exactly how we'll get there. It's familiar. But with life, we don't know what's coming, or how it will come, or even what it'll look like. We just know that someday we're going to get there and we'll either be completely surprised, mystified or disappointed.
