This is my Travel Journal
It is filled with polaroid film from six countries
some of the film is expired and overexposed which makes it interesting
I collect things on my travels like cards and tickets
and sketch on whatever I can. This an envelope.
The sticker from a Surf Shop in Biarittz
A polaroid from my Fujifilm Instax Camera in San Sebastien Spain.
These are ramblings from my travels to remember when I am drawing in the studio.
We stayed in a house in Biarritz near the surf.
the coast was full of rockpools and mini cities
I bought some handmade shoes from a lady in an espadrille shop
this was a photo of something, but it was super overexposed!
still pretty to me
a misty morning at home
my cactus and the pretty sky
I spent two months in Hawaii. Island hopping between Oahu, Maui and Kauai
We stayed at the Hilton Hotel and this was the view from our room.
Palm trees first thing in the morning and the most wonderful sunrise
I write about each day in the photo.
this is a japanese newspaper I collected with a ticket for Diamond Head
Mountains hiding in the clouds. Magic....
Mountains might be my favourite things to capture on 35mm film
This is Kauai also known as the Garden Island. A land of just lush green
Next to our home was a palm tree plantation.
This is Spouting Horn. A hole in the volcanic ground. When the sea came in and air rushed through it sounds like the Earth howling.
Hanalei Beach. Where the mountain waters reached the sea.
We swam in her waters. The cold river into the warm sea was a strange feeling between two worlds.
I'll never forget this day.
I wondered around alone on the beach. The light was perfect for this shot.
More of Hanalei. I watched baby fish swim in the water all day.
I tried to help them catch the current.
This is Maui. Iao Valley Needle. The Sun hidden in the clouds
The Mountain river rushing across the pebbles. We swam and it was freezing!
We sat by the water all day long.
I took a lot of photos here. My husband sat sketching on the thinking rock in the river all day long. Just thinking in this sacred space.
The was the last day of our travels. Up a mountain I cried in the road in the rain.
We missed travelling so much we stayed in a van when we got home. We ate leftover pizza for breakfast.
I write little notes to guide my intuition if I forget myself.
This is my beautiful home. It's the jurassic coast of Dorset on expired film.
Her fossilised stones and sediment raise up out of the land into the sky revealing all her secrets to us. How lucky we are to witness.
I found a lot of collected stamps I saved them all. I wonder who collected them?
This is my favourite. It gets a page of its own.
The colours are faded like film. I think of who saved these all and treasured them and how they came to be in my possession now.
The end. I have another to make. Look for this video soon.
Thank you for travelling with me
