one of the things on my day zero list was to visit the National Gallery of Victoria twice a year

went with Jason on friday
wanted to see the Re-view photography exhibit
but we also checked out the asian, european and post-modern galleries
as well as the Draping fashion exhibit.

took heaps of photos but here are a few highlights

Andy Warhol's self portrait

Houkusai's Great Wave off Kanagawa. love the 36 views of Mt Fuji, was really excited to see this wood block print as i didnt get to the last time


the portrait of a girl we secretly called 'the slut', haha, but unfortunately the title and artist is just too small to make out! remind me to check her name out properly the next time i visit. i really like this though, her gaze is so intense.



Cecil Beaton's photo of evening dresses, Rodin's the Thinker, some Wedgewood and some pieces from the photography exhibit

really like Yee i-lan's Huminodun
it had a nice story behind it, and was a lightjet photograph so it looked really different
unfortunately because of the glass casing i couldnt get a good photograph so you ll have to google it!
its beautiful though


went sailing all day sunday
it was Docklands Boat Festival so we opened the ship for people to inspect
and ran 3 voyages

was on the foredeck for all three, mostly portside
and learnt heaps, as most of the lines were there
sailing is a whole different language, but very rewarding

i m so glad i took it up, its tiring but pretty kickass!
got to furl sail on jig boom at the end
which is always special cause i get to harness up



isnt she pretty?
