As you’ve probably already read over here, a group of us got together to visit the Annie Leibovitz exhibition in Sydney yesterday. We had a lovely time, in spite of the showers; the guided tour at the gallery gave many of us a new insight in how Annie Leibovitz works, we dined at Circular Quay, walked through The Rocks area and took advantage of some photo opportunities. Below are some photos from our excursion, given the Lo-Fi treatment for that fun and quirky look. It was a great opportunity to meet up with bubbler friends, new and old, and spend a great day out.
Tatiana R never missed a photo opportunity
The results were pretty pleasing, too!
The food at Rossini’s was delicious

The Rocks has lots of laneways, this one’s near No. 64 above

Adriana Glackin:
It’s always fun to get together with other bubblers :-)
TextureoftheSin
A fabulous collection!!
Thank you so much for organising the day Adriana!! It was so much fun….we really need to do it again soon :D
Adriana Glackin:
Thanks TotS – so glad we had the guided tour, and we can thank Sooz for pointing that out to us. And yes, would happily attend another meet-up :-)
John Robb
Sounds like all had a great time.
Adriana Glackin:
Thanks John, I’m pretty sure we all had a great time, even at the gallery! :-)
Wendi Donaldson
Fabulous journal, Adriana!! I’m sure the Annie L exhibit was amazing! :)
Adriana Glackin:
Thanks Wendi – have you checked out Peter’s journal, it’s a little more detailed than mine… The Annie L exhibit was certainly amazing; if you get a chance to visit Sydney in the next few weeks while it’s still on, it’s well worth visiting. :-)
Mel Brackstone...
You forgot this gorgeous gal (photographed by Peter with my camera)
Adriana Glackin:
Lol! Cute :-) So glad you came along for the weekend!
Uncle Bob
That foreign grub looks pretty good…..and you’re quite a bit of alright without that scruffy wombat!
Adriana Glackin:
Uncle Bob…where are your manners? That foreign grub is pasta, surely you’ve had some in your time? And he’s not a wombat at all, the poor thing’s starting to get a complex you know…
Lisa Jewell
oh how wonderful :))))))
thank you so much for sharing xoxoxo
Adriana Glackin:
A pleasure, maybe next time you’re up this way, we’ll organise a meet-up to wander the streets of Sydney :-))
Matt Penfold
Yes Adriana, thanks so much for organising such a fabulous gathering, the exhibition was good and the company was brilliant. And Bob’s right, you looked a million bucks in that tablecloth, but the shoes really set it off ;)
Adriana Glackin:
Ha ha – it is a bit tableclothy isn’t it; pay no attention to that Uncle Bob as it will only encourage him. Cheeky sod he is! You know it will be a sad and sorry day when I wear those shoes out…
Paul Louis Vil...
Well done guys!! :D
Adriana Glackin:
Lol! Thanks Paul :-D
~ Ademac
Great day…………….Addy your awesome!
Adriana Glackin:
Sure was an great day :-))
TextureoftheSin
Adriana is a role model for satorial grace and elegance ……. those nails were wicked, too. If only I was Annie and could post a blurred image :D
Adriana Glackin:
Lol! Thank you :-) As for the blurred images, maybe we should just post them and say they’re an homage to Annie L…
GEMAXphoto
Nice collection….looks like it was a fun day!
Adriana Glackin:
Thanks so much :-))
Matt Penfold
Hey TotS, you don’t need to be Annie to post a blurred image, you could be Mel… ;)
Adriana Glackin:
Lol! Very true ;-)
Melinda Kerr
Wow look how glamorous you all are! Wonderful wish I was there! Especially love the third last shot :)
Adriana Glackin:
Thanks Mel, and one day I’ll get to have a meet-up with all your Melbourne bubblers :-))
BriGt
Looks like you had soo much fun !!

…and i understand when you all talk about …‘blurred image’ lol !!!
Adriana Glackin:
A great day Brigitte. What did you think of the exhibition, did you enjoy it? Did you have a favourite photograph of Annie’s?
sandra .
Love those shoes, thank you for sharing your day with us Adriana and friends, sounds great fun
Sandra
Adriana Glackin:
Thanks Sandra, they’re surprisingly comfortable to walk in too – that’s always a bonus! lol! :-))
Lisa Jewell
OMG I love those shoes………………..I have always wanted green shoes.

Adriana Glackin:
Thanks Lisa, they are photogenic aren’t they – lol! :-))
Peter Hill
Fantastic images, Adriana! And how did you like my first ever shot with a Composer?? ’Twas a grand day, and thank you for organising the guided tour for us – that was a feature in itself! (Btw, Bridal Veil was doing a very good impression of Niagara Falls this morning – it was a wall of water, as were the Cascades !!!
Adriana Glackin:
Oh I was thinking of you two this morning as i listened to the rain falling whilst lying in bed! Hope you got some great shots for your efforts – hat off to you both for your dedication! And yes, you’re a dab hand at using a Composer. Glad you enjoyed the tour. We can thank ChasingSooz for suggesting it would be a great idea – and she was right!
Tatiana R
Fantastic journal Adriana, love your processing! And thank you again for organising the meet-up, it was a great day!
And here is your all around glamorous tableclothy image :-)
Adriana Glackin:
Always nice to meet up with you TR, your photos are lovely, I can see why you kept disappearing – you’ve captured a lovely perspective of Sydney. I think everyone should own a tablecloth dress at least once n their life ;-) The group didn’t lose me dressed like that, did they…!!
Maria Moro
Thanks again Adriana….. was an awesome day …. :)
Adriana Glackin:
It was so lovely to meet you Maria and glad you enjoyed the day!! :-))
David Haviland
Looks like it was a great meet up. Wish I could have been there, maybe next time.
Adriana Glackin:
It was a fun day David, lots of laughs, lots of photo opps, lots of chatting and catching up. And yes, next time, do come along :-))
Uncle Bob
steak and 3 veg will do me just fine, thanks.
Adriana Glackin:
Well, then you don’t know what you’re missing.
Arcadia Tempest
Ahh what a wonderful time you all had :O)
What a bubbling time of fun and arty frolic you all had and some good food to top it off :O))
Uncle Bob
I do….there’s not beer with that
Carol Knudsen
Wow! You guys really had so much fun….It’s nice to see :-)
yolanda
Looks like it was a fun day . . wish I could have been there instead stuck at a 4 hour work meeting :-(
Karin Taylor
