The Wanderer – Vie

β€œIt was the pure Language of the World. It required no explanation, just as the universe needs none as it travels through endless time. What the boy felt at that moment was that he was in the presence of the only woman in his life, and that, with no need for words, she recognized the same thing. He was more certain of it than of anything in the world. He had been told by his parents and grandparents that he must fall in love and really know a person before becoming committed. But maybe people who felt that way had never learned the universal language. Because, when you know that language, it’s easy to understand that someone in the world awaits you, whether it’s in the middle of the desert or in some great city. And when two such people encounter each other, and their eyes meet, the past and the future become unimportant. There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love, one’s dreams would have no meaning.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

Let me take you somewhere.

In your teens you go through trial and error. Experiencing new and some times naughty things. Not knowing who really are, but starting to know who you want to be, and changing that the following week. It’s was okay to make mistakes, and you knew everything, especially more than your parents.

He kissed you on the cheek and you held his hand. Sending I love you’s across the classroom scribbled on a note. You had knots in your hair and dirt on your face.

You grew a little older.

Sneaking your Nan’s Magic Silver white, blackening your lips and dressing like you were at a funeral. What was once called goth, now Emo. You were there, you lived it, and you probably owned it.

You talked to your girlfriends all night on the phone, much to your parents disgust. Organising to sneak off to a party, where you could meet up with the cool boys and maybe take it one step further.

A little time passed.

Your now in your twenties. your repeating some of those mistakes, you may have learned from one or two. You start to know yourself, but still figuring out who you actually are. Your hair is now perfectly toned blonde,or maybe balayaged. You sip your latte and you flick through the latest pages of Russh, checking out ASOS in your lunch break. Keeping up to every latest trend, checking out what she’s wearing next to you.Β  You just broke up with him via text.

How did life get so complicated. How can you choose when there are so many options.

When will it end.

Take a minute. Stop.

I want to take you on a journey. Before technology took its toll, life was simple. Beautifully, romantically simple…

Loose your self with these images, remember when it all wasn’t so complicated.

Even just for a minute…

Striped…

You never really know what is in your own backyard, the same bush i have looked at for the last four months not knowing what lay-ed behind the dense foliage.

My husband dragged me through – much to my fear of snakes and spiders! And what a magical place we found! Winter is a wonderful time of year, layering upon layering and the ever present blazer!

Little Girl Inside…

Just across the river from our little humble home, are some amazing little openings amongst the trees, just before you reach the beach.Being there takes me back to when i was a little girl. I use to play in the bush behind my Grandma’s house. In a world where fairies and goblins existed and i rode around on my unicorn! I had a very vivid imagination. For hours i would play, mother nature was indeed my best friend.I still remember my grandma telling me the moss covered rocks were where the fairies danced. Just like then, amongst the tree’s today, i could not help feel the magic.

Sea – ing Navajo…

On our way down South to attend a traditional Spanish feast, we couldn’t help but stop and take in the afternoon sunset, at a little place called Warilla on the South Coast of New South Wales. Not a person in sight except for a lonely fisherman.

The Maltings

A cold rainy day, meant the perfect opportunity to do some more exploring, We found ourselves at a town called Mittagong, at a beautiful group of abandoned buildings that were built in 1914. We later found out that it was once a brewery that was ravaged by fire in 1965. so much history be hind the old bricks and un-kept gardens.ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

Old Apple

A little photo shoot with my amazing husband photographer James Frost. Since moving to the south coast we often go on little drives exploring the country side. Today we ended up at a little apple orchard at a place called Darkes forrest. The owners, an old friendly couple let us frolic in the golden light amongst their apple trees. The wind was as crisp as the apples we were biting in too! The light was amazing and inspired us to shoot a couple of my vintage favourites that will soon be on the market.

JAMES FROST…CAN SHOOT ME!

Did i mention that the man i married is an amazing photographer?

Introducing James Frost from James Frost Photography

James was inspired by his grandad who was a well respected photographer in the UK. James first passion was shooting on vintage film cameras.

” I use to watch my granddad develop these images there was something so ghostly and magical the way the image would appear in the dark room. I soon learned how to play with the images through the use of light.”

James soon moved on to the world of digital imaging, and had a strong focus in documentary, fashion and surf photography.

“It wasn’t all smooth sailing i was naughty in school, in many ways i thought that i would struggle through life like i did in the class room. The letters on my page just didn’t seem to make sense”.

James was diagnosed with severe dyslexia and short term memory loss, which generally goes hand in hand. James was embarrassed by this diagnoses which allowed him to become disruptive in his younger years, it wasn’t until he met with a specialist that the moment of truth came to him.

” I remember sitting in his office, and he looked at me and said Are you good with your hands? i didn’t know what he quite meant being a teenage boy! He explained that generally people with dyslexia are better with there hands and creativity, i knew in an instant that for me, it was my photography. The one thing in my world that wasn’t jumbled or confusing, it was my escape.”

From there James traveled from coast line to fishing village capturing a mixture of surf and documentary images, it wasn’t until his early twenties he studied fashion photography which added another element to his photography.

“Well you know the rest of the story lauren, we met in spain while you were on the bodyboarding tour and we fell in love then i moved to Australia in in 2011, we were married that year and i have been shooting weddings ever since”.

Well the rest IS history James moved to Australia in 2011 to marry his fiance Lauren (me!) and has been shooting weddings ever since. His wedding photography is not your standard, it is high fashion, documentary and a little bit of quirky all rolled into one. To check out James photography please go to www.jamesfrostphotoblog.com
