We love discovering places where we can indulge in our new found passion for film photography. One thing we have discovered about going retro when it comes to taking photos is the friendly community. In Melbourne, we often hang out at Film Never Die, talking all things film, drinking chai and making new friends. And […]
I love learning about the past history of places we visit…you can find out the most amazing things when you do a little delving! I also know that how important it is to look up as you can miss so much…architecture, street art, quirky installations… So when I read about this particular place on my […]
