Sure, Jo, and thanks for the invite. Here’s a bit of a rundown of my vital statistics

• Throw words into Microsoft Word and hope they make sense after spell-check

Anyway, that’s the important stuff. :)

Hi, been into photography for about 17 years take film and dig – love landscapes coffe wine and spending time with my family . Work as a nurse in my other life, keeps the bucks rolling in .
Photgraphy keeps me sane !!

Me in a few lines (in no particular order):

• Photographically evolving for the last 15 years (I started out as an amoeba)
• For breakfast Carman’s original muesli (GM free, all Australian, great taste)
• I like a good quick drive on a twisty road
• single (sigh)
• I wear a suit 9-5 – made by people who get a fair and proper wage
• On occasion I’ll listen to talking books
• I read a broadsheet newspaper
• now 25kg lighter than the same time last year
• ambition no. 356 – become a news photographer that helps change the world
• I read the instruction book first
• I like the mountains a little more than the beach
• I believe Jo O’B will one day be worshiped as a goddess by a tribe of people somewhere

Hey guys, my name’s Jess I’m 21 and live in the way outer North Eastern Suburbs (Hurstbridge)… Some random facts about me include:

My favorite hair colour is bright red, the redder the better though it never stays that way long enough:(
My favorite food is Garlic Prawns, so yum.
My favorite book series is the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind, absolutely amazing.
I am obsessed with Doctor Who
I am paranoid of swimming in the ocean
I quite drinking and smoking this year and am now running out of reasons to leave the house
I love to cook, if graphic design fails me I think I’d consider it as a career
My favorite chocolate is peanut M&Ms
I just bought a black Suzuki Sierra soft top which would be so awesome if I could actually drive manual…

Ummm, I guess that’s some of the important stuff for now

So for me, it goes down a little like this:

• I’m a Geordie Pom, without a Geordie accent
• Obsessed with derelict industrial sites and HDR, and on the learning curve with freaky fashion shots
• Can’t stand aniseed, but for some reason love Sambucca. Not so much for breakfast – I’ll get to that later
• Am massively impulsive
• Love late nights, but hate early mornings
• I don’t do breakfast cereal – it’s toast or porridge for me. Unless of course I’m out, in which case I’ll take the biggest thing on the menu.
• Single? No. Handsome? Entirely proportional to how much you’ve drunk.
• Darren – we’re blood group buddies – woohoo go O+!
• 9-5 (he says optimistically) I work for a product development consultancy
• I used to blow stuff up in the arctic circle for a living
• Love to read, but never make time

That’s all you’re getting for now – I can’t give all my secrets away.

Tim

I am of mixed upbringing.
My father was a doberman and my mother an english springer spaniel.
I grew up in a card board box suspended on the edge of st kilda pier with a penguin who until I was nine I thought was my brother.
My father was interned for howling nonsensically at street lights and my mother took off with my crate mates father – flipper fred which ironically resulted in the penguin who I thought was my brother only to find out he wasn’t my brother actually become my brother.
Which obviously meant we had to call off the wedding.
Oh and I live in a plastic bubble.
With a pigeon.
Who until recently I thought was my brother…

Life hasn’t been the same since the Northcote Social Club stopped selling Rooftop Lager….

My heart has always been pulled between two very different homes, and being such a contrary wench, they just have to be on opposite ends of the earth. So while I sat high above the cobblestones of Brussels, in my medieval house with blood red walls and devil beer, I planned my list for returning back here; my other home.

• Drink a honey martini in Bar Nancy, Northcote
• Watch the sun set from the top of the Rialto
• Take a cruise down the Yarra
• Eat vegan chocolate cake at the Vegie Bar (try finding a vegetarian restaurant in Belgium!)
• Walk on the beach in St. Kilda
• Shop on Bridge Road, Richmond
• Buy gingerbread perfume in Kleins in Fitzroy
• Drink Mountain Goat beer in Bar Open, Fitzroy
• Dance to rockabilly in the Retreat, Brunswick
• Watch the lights from the top of Mt Dandenong
• Drink a Rooftop Lager in the Northcote Social Club

Alas, the latter was denied, and the closest I’ve come to walking on St Kilda beach was tottering around the back streets of that suburb in the wee hhours on stilettos, looking for Jo O’Brien’s car, but I’ve managed to cross everything else off my list since I’ve been back.

Feels good to be home.

Hi I am from Ballarat so not exactly Melbourne
I have a wife, a daughter, two dogs and eight horses.
One of the horses is a month old filly who could be the cutest horse in Australasia……..actually she is the cutest!!!
My passions are horses, photography, travelling, good food and time to myself. I don’t drink alcohol but I do love coffee.
My job can be high stress so the time I spend away from work is very important.
I am constantly amazed at the quality of work here on th Bubble.
Combining my passions for photography and horses has given new vigor to my life.
Getting old sucks but watching you youngsters almost makes up for that………………
I look forward to getting a chance to meet some of you.
Cheers Ade

Hello

My name is Jessica and I’m 21, I moved to Melbourne almost a year ago to start a job as a 3D games artist, and am still very happily working in that position.
I enjoy practicing all forms of art like life drawing, environmental paintings, making/painting clay charms and stitching little felt plushies.
I mostly enjoy drawing/painting anime digitally as well as creating 3D characters.
I have a pet green tree frog
I just joined redbubble and am still learning how to do things.

Howdy Folks,
My name is Andrew but my mates usually call me Mohair, The Friar or Stop Drinking My Beer… I am tall and dark (2 out of 3 ain’t bad…)

I work as a computer geek using about 1% of my brain while the other 99% cruises the strange universe that is my head. I swear I’m a little ADD… ;-). I’m quite successful in the IT industry which makes me think “What would happen if I did something using my whole brain eh….?”

I love Melbourne. I’ve lived there for 20 years now. It took time (I hated the first couple of years) but the place has grown on me. I miss it now I have to work in Canberra for a while. The only other city I would consider living in now is San Francisco. I really love that place! There is a real feel about it.

I spent a decade playing with photography before really starting to explore a style. I ‘took photos’ whereas now I like to ‘create images’. A big goal is to begin working with people more – I have a head full of images to make up that involve using folks (I don’t like the term ‘model’) but the tough bit is finding folks to volunteer and organising the time to meet!

I also like to write a bit. And when time permits I want to learn painting – acrylics I think.

I used to own a fibre-optic cactus…

My name is Adrian

If I were to eat cereal, I would go for a Just Right, or maybe a Weat Bix meal. At the moment, I’m hooked on toast, plain with a glass of orange juice. I will not change until I accidently buy the wrong bread, find out it tastes horrid toasted, and swear off the stuff forever (or at least 3 months)

I live in Southbank, as close as I possibly can to the office I work in. I’ve done this, because clearly I’m an idiot.

I have a cat, called Muggins. I also have a girlfriend, in a weird coincidence, her name is also Muggins.

I often lie about Steph’s name, for no other reason than to amuse myself.

I’ve been taking photos for just over a year now, and I still feel like I have universes of experience to cover before I’ll be happy with the results. What I see doesn’t always come out in the way I see it.

I was an artistic whipper snapper… once enjoying drawing, painting, sculpting and other fun expressions of late teen internal crisis management. Photography is my first foray back into that world, and I’m hooked completely all over again. Apparently I had some late teen angst still simmering… thankfully I’ve found an outlet, instead of selling all my possessions, burning my shoes, and joining a cult in Nimbin.

I have used zoo visits, day trips to beaches and random events to practice my photo’ing, and I’m hoping I’ll be ready to kick it up a notch in the next few months. I really want to start doing it far more seriously, and plan what I want to do, how I want it to turn out, and how many tens of thousands of dollars I’ll sell out for

Note to anyone still reading, I will sell out for far less than “tens of thousands of dollars”. I think you’d be suprised how little it would take… my guess, I would goes as low as selling all my dreams out for a Snickers Bar and a Big M (large, chocolate only)

My name is Simon, finally bought an SLR and started reading about photography about a year ago.

It is a perfect hobby for me especially working as an engineer i find photography a perfect outlet which lets me express my artistic side/design compared to the technical design i encounter during the day.
