So Trish and I spent last weekend in Melbourne for a photo shoot, lots of eating and lots of shopping. Well, Trish says it wasn't really shopping, since she didn't buy a lot of stuff. It was more like....exercise. Lots of walking. For me....it was more of an exercise....an exercise in patience. Luckily Trish gave me a new camera to keep me company.
These are the 'in between' pictures....taken while not necessarily doing anything, besides waiting for wifey to re-appear from a store. WARNING: These photos have been processed with steroids.
OK, one airport shot with our luggage. The big bag on the left is our new stroller which carries all our babies.
This is Trish looking like a kid in a candy store. A candy store that sold Princess Highway or something like that. Oh no....Trish says it was Coo-ca-chooo. She says it in a "pikachu" kind of voice too. This store held my attention for about 30 seconds before I went on to take photos like....
...this. I was so bored I started practicing taking pictures without looking in the viewfinder. I practiced making the bags the subject, then my shoes, then the bags again. I'm pretty good at it now.
A study in colour and motion, during a 10 minute wait outside of MNG Barcelona. I don't know why it's called MNG Barcelona. Something to do with Penelope Cruz I thinks.
This is the result of 10 minutes of practising motion blur.
Red Rice on Brunswick St, taken outside the Alannah Hill clearance store after 20 mins of waiting.
Self portrait, taken outside the Alannah Hill clearance store after 35 minutes of waiting.
Another self portrait, taken halfway through our expedition on Chapel St.
All in all, the shopping experience was great. I still managed to spend as much money as Trish even though I only spent about 40mins looking at shoes/clothes. Plus we had dinner with her cousin who gave me some hand-me-downs. Expensive hand-me-downs. Including a suit. A suit which surprisingly fit me perfectly.
That is the BEST way to shop.

Just remember the times Trish watched you play basketball. Should have had your iPod for the waiting.
Did you photoshop these much?

i think you need to have a nice talk to yosuke about how a male should wait and keep busy. Or perhaps i should tell him that PSPs were meant for going shopping with.
