Sarah- Yuriy and I are currently in Sydney and taking a road trip to Melbourne in the next few days. Your photos are getting me all antsy. I remember you saying on Twitter it reminded you so much of Seattle, and I can't wait to see it for myself. Were there any "must go to" places that you can recommend for us?
I love your street photography maybe more than anything else you have done here. It's so raw and visceral!
ohhh how wonderful to see my favourite city in your blog!
Beautiful work as always... I am inspired and delighted! My fav is the bw photo booth that I love!! Now we want to see the photos you took!! ;)
Only discovering these now....wowwee!!! Such an awesome series yet every frame has such impact. Beautiful - I love them :)
amazing. hope sydney is as great at melbourne! great shots...
So lovely to see my Melbourne through Rhoads eyes :)
That Swanston St reflection shot, just perfect!
Your work is beautiful! I love coming to your blog and seeing what you have created. I am always so inspired and I look forward to seeing your next post! Happy Holidays and best wishes in 2001 :)
you always make happy thoughts in my head - you guys are so great!
Beautiful memories created by beautiful souls. Love the way you see Melbourne, my fave Australian city. :) Miss the Rhoadsies.
Looks like a blast
these are wonderful! love the story they tell! I love seeing a place through a photographer's eyes. how do you travel with film? I guess more so fast film, do you have it out and checked or do you just send it through the xray machines? thanks for sharing your trip!
@Caitlin I'm thinking about setting up a gallery online for art prints. I'll post more about it on the blog if & when I get to it on my to do list :)
Amazing work. Just curious... do you sell prints of your photography?
oh yay. i've been sooo anxious for this post! i could hardly wait to see my favorite city through your eyes, and you've captured the gritty, raw goodness of it so beautifully. sigh. more excited than ever to head there next week! xx
So glad you guys enjoyed a special little piece of Australia. I had a feeling you would love Melbs. Its such a great city and very 'you'. : )
Strange waking up from a dream where I was going to Melbourne and then seeing these :) I've never been before, but maybe now I should? I love when you shoot in film :)
Love these images Sarah. I go to Melbourne next week, you have me excited :) xoxo
I can't believe that Obama was on that wall. Talk about reach. Dang.
Wow, this is like a story! I don't understand how you transform such common things into such a beautiful masterpiece! It's quite a talent.
love them. i've been shooting more film too lately. but we don't have a pro lab (or even a decent one) in madison, so i have all the rolls stockpiled in my sock drawer.
LOOOOVE these. I'm in love with my contax 645, but isn't it just a beast!?! I lugged mine across three countries in Europe this fall, and was oh so glad I did!
I love love love this photo and can totally relate to the you "now" saying what happened to the fearless me of then... She's still in there and waiting to jump off a cliff...
Love this shot sarah :) and your inspiring words as always!
Wow, spectacular!
awwww:) sooo great!
Awesome post, I love the message and I love the photo.
Awesome post, I love the message and I love the photo.
amazing shot! I would be quite scared!
there are children taller than me! I can blend right in...
it's a great feeling when i can let go of the fear and just go for it. - reflected perfectly in this picture. great shot!
AMAZING! Love it and love what you wrote, a great reminder to constantly live in the moment and truly LIVE!
I'm right behind her! Great shot. Love your work.
Amazing... wish I could access my inner child again :)
great frame and wise words Sarah.. I totally dig your skills..
So did you jump...off the cliff that is? Great frame BTW!
Girl-You KNOW we are loving this. Please say we can plan an amazing road trip together someday. That would be bliss!
I just got back from 3 weeks in New Zealand (just, as in last night). I, too, spent a week driving around the South Island, except I was in a camper van instead of a VW. It was epic, nonetheless. And I'm relatively certain that I saw that Kombie while I was there. Can't wait to see your shots. I'll post mine soon. =)
We're on the South Island of New Zealand right now! :) - in Nelson. You pretty much described our lives right now... except we're in a sedan :)
Sarah you two are awesome! Matt and I have been planning a similar road trip of our own around the states this Spring...should be pretty wild!
great picture/adventure(: just wanted to thank you because it was through one of your blog posts that i ran into the making things happen tour last year. i just got to go to the one here on maui last week. thanks for being the connector!

Those vans are awesome, this brings back happy memories of my last southern hemisphere summer. At least the South Island has more sheep than it has people on the roads :) Look forward to your NZ pics!
So glad you had a great time! Road tipping in a Kombi is a dream of mine, and your trip sounds amazing! Can't wait to see photos! :)
wow, sounds like quite an adventure! can't wait to see the new zealand post!
sarah&chris these are gorgeous. every picture makes me want to be there. the 5th picture is one of my favorites.
These are incredible! love how the beauty and lifestyle was captured, what looks to be so effortlessly. How do you go about setting a shoot like this up?
Wow! What a location.... I love the tree that they are sitting on! I can feel the sun just looking at these photos...
Wow I love these! They are gorgeous girls and that last photo is amazing! I envy the weather you are having right now - I went camping on the beach for NYE and got sunburned! I want some snow! :)
i LOVE this whole set. #3 is very stunning and the final image is so freeing!
These are gorgeous! now I'm itching to go back to Hawaii!!
These are amazing! I love how your style is candid, subtle and natural, yet so artistic and eye-catching that every one of these photos could be featured in a magazine spread. Thank you for being such an inspiration :)
you two capture emotion better than anyone I've ever seen. love these.
The energy and adventurous spirit in these photos is contagious. Thank you guys for the burst of inspiration this morning!
LOVE these! You captured their spirit perfectly! Makes me miss Hawaii so much!!!!
love the feel of these photos - from warmth between friends to cliff diving together! great pictures!
These are beautiful. The lighting is fantastic. All the photos have such a great feel to them. You really caught the essence of these surfer girls.
