Missed out on last years World Press Photo because of utter laziness. This year NO MORE! So I went. It was good. First time I ever felt like being ill in a public place when I have no alcohol in my system, that could also have something to do with the recent illness.
I can usually handle this horrible stuff but I think that that is mainly when it is on film with fake people in staged situations. Looking at those photos and knowing that this stuff really happened to them is what may of made me feel sick. I really like the exhibition. It wasn't all war and death.
1440 exhibition - 18/07
I also wanted to see the 1440 exhibition (which is still running) and saw this quote and, well, I liked it.
"consulting the rules of composition before taking a photograph is like consulting the laws of gravity before going for a walk" - Edward Weston
Being so close, and in need of some pep, we went to Cafe Hernandez which has been on The List for at least a few years. The owner introduced Sydneysiders (possibly Australia) to Churros.
Mmmmm Chocolate
Didn't add that sugar... no need... churros was covered with the stuff. I really liked it. Really quite crunchy. The Churros are like deep-fried donuts and are dipped in the hot choc. Said to be a great cure for hangover. P maintains she has had better, I feel it was a good intro and would go back.
Leftover pudding on Sunday. Could this be the most exciting Best thing to encapsulate July 19th... yeah.
Goodness - 19/07
Should be going to the gym after that weekend now.
