well, I finally found my place behind my camera again! As you can see…my Aussie model for the day, Tim, is speaking the Universal Language of Denim in his ripped jeans. Finding a stylist for my shoot was really tough, so I ended up taking it into my own hands…and I found myself pulling clothes from the women’s section because the choice of men’s clothes was lacking in that certain je ne sais quoi! I was aiming for the layered style that Australians have mastered – which I’m finding out has to do more with the temperamental weather patterns than what I had originally thought! I know some of you gents out there are partial to the cut and fit of women’s jeans…but do you also look to the ladies’ choices when it comes to shirts and jackets- or is it just jeans?

The ultimate pairing; Converse sneakers and jeans. The ultimate road trip companion; the owner of the above pair of Converse sneakers and jeans- my cousin and fellow wandering soul, Kit, With maps in hand, gas tank full, and a soundtrack to rival any Cameron Crowe movie…we left the Melbourne sky line in our rear view mirror and headed west. The goal: to find some more locations for me to shoot in…and to have another possible contender for a Top 5 Day The end result: definitely a Top 5 Day…with the bonus of finding a location!
Our route took us passed forgotten houses, through sheep covered pastures and between the thickest forests that guided us toward one of the most important tourist requirements and one of the most picturesque highways (think car commercial); Great Ocean Road. It was built between World War I and World War II by returned servicemen in honor of their fallen comrades. The road took 16 years to build by using hand picks, shovels and dynamite. This road is definitely not intended for driver’s with indecisive tendencies! After passing generous amounts of scenic lookouts, we pulled off of the dizzying path onto an off-the-beaten path. ” Where are you going?…Where do you go?…Tell me where are you going?…Where…Let’s go.” – Where Are You Going?
