Steve Fraser

One of my greatest supporters and good friends Steve Fraser has been working in conjuction with Australian Geographic for their 2014 calender.

Steve supported me so much in the initial days of capture and his wife Elaine of Beautiful Books has been a writing and inspiration buddy for nearly 10 years.

Australian Geographic puts out a calender every year, with a few photographers featured as a part of the calender’s photography.

I’m pleased to announce that next years release features Steve’s work only. His work is prolific and beautiful.

If this is your thing go buy one today.

Love it.

The letter writer

20131008-124015.jpg

I needed a break today, my creative space and heart was feeling a little dry.

Maybe giving out too much, without enough in?

Maybe the tyranny of a young toddler?

Maybe just the rains of winter still pouring and my spring heart needing some sun?

I put max to sleep and looked through the bigpond catalogue on my smart tv and found a fabulous movie to rent.

It was called ‘The Letter Writer’ all about a man who searches through the phone book and randomly writes letters of hope to people.

It inspired me so much about the power of writing.

There are people who are impacted by the intentionality of our writing everywhere, that we may never meet.

Don’t give up.

Keep writing.

You never know who is on the receiving end of your thoughts.

Inspire others.

Johann Kim

johann

Johann Kim, started his creative business explosion as a jewelry designer, firstly opening a concept store in Perth, 2007. The one-stop fashion and gift store went from being a one man operation to a family of over 50 staff, that he fondly calls his pigeons. He now owns and manages 7 stores across Australia; Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney and in Korea, as well as his online offering www.pigeonhole.com

Pigeonhole is filled with goods that any respectable bird would see fit to collect; polaroids, terrariums, analogue cameras, bounded books, vintage threads, brooches, wallets and plenty more fun trinkets to unearth. Inspiration lurks in every Pigeonhole shop. He recently opened a menswear outlet called Fox and Hunt, and every one has a unique flavor with different offerings housed in a small space befitting its name. Pigeonhole is a treasure trove of cool, creative and well-designed objects that are sure to bring joy to the soul.

Their philosophy is to be an open and creative community of people who love what they do, who push the boundaries creatively to always present something new and interesting to Australian shores.

Johann is being interviewed at our first SPARC GATHERING in Perth. Buy a ticket and bring a creative mate along. You won’t be dissapointed.

Get lost

“We can’t jump off bridges anymore because our iPhones will get ruined. We can’t take skinny dips in the ocean, because there’s no service on the beach and adventures aren’t real unless they’re on Instagram. Technology has doomed the spontaneity of adventure and we’re helping destroy it every time we Google, check-in, and hashtag.” -Jeremy Glass, We Can’t Get Lost Anymore
