Seth Sentry Groovin the Moo Canberra Australia 2013 live

Moos and Grooves: Part One

April 29, 2013 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Between sets. This weekend I went to my first Australian Music Fesitval, Groovin the Moo. The guiding shtick of this festival is to take over the fields of small town Australia and bring ‘local and imported produce’ to the people and our bovine friends. I had a complete blast. Like the previously mentioned Alpine and Frightened Rabbit, the lineup featured some pretty fantastic acts, I got to enjoy some all time favourites and hear some fresh local Australian crop at […]

Merchant City Glasgow fairy lights square

Brighten My Corner

April 22, 2013 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Glasgow’s Merchant City  Just a quick indie rock fix this week. Like Wonderland’s own frightened [White] rabbit, I feel there’s ‘no time to say “hello” goodbye!’ Time is seems to be getting the better of me again. On the bright side, the countdown to Groovin’ the Moo seems to be flying by. Frightened Rabbit will be playing amongst the cows next weekend. Looking forward to it. The photos were taken around the Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) in Glasgow’s Merchant […]

April 8, 2013 by snapshotsandneedledrops

It has been a busy couple of weeks, my dearest doodlers! I was first distracted by the spectacular Australian coast before returning to Canberra and the real world to start my new job. I’ll undoubtedly do a post about the dolphins, pelicans and beaches at some point, so I’ll leave that for now. Today I want to talk about seasonal déjà vu. Walking home from work yesterday, it was made clear that autumn has hit the ACT with force. It’s […]

We go where we don’t know the way.

February 19, 2013 by snapshotsandneedledrops

New look, new lands, new friends, new adventures. The word ‘new’ has made itself a pretty permanent home in my list of everyday vocabulary. A new application, a new studio, a new routine, a new life chapter; fresh start this, blank slate that. It only seemed fitting that on this new side of my metaphorical leaf that I update the look of Doodledrops. I was never quite happy with the previous look anyway and if I’ve learnt something this year, […]

Dancing in the Dark

February 5, 2013 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Some of my first memories involve my matinee performances of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Showcased daily from our living room. I adored that soundtrack. I would clear off all the laundry from a wooden chest behind the couch, climb up, dance and sing out all the lyrics– including the twenty-nine shades, repeated twice so it sounds endless, listed in his “coat of many colours.” If I really wanted to pull out a particularly show-stopping performance I would wear […]

Clock at Musee D'Orsay looking out over Paris, Sacre Coeur

The Clock that Mocks

January 28, 2013 by snapshotsandneedledrops

“Time goes, you say? Ah, no! alas, time stays, we go.” – Henry Austin Dobson Looking out through the clock at the Musée D’Orsay, best museum in the world, at Paris’ 1st Arrondissement and on towards Sacré-Cœur. Time is making a fool of my plans. I cannot believe it’s Monday/post-day already! It’s been Australia Day celebrations-this and sightseeing-that… Anyway I was a bit under-prepared for this week’s entry so you’re getting some standby favourites. The photo was taken from inside […]

Hot Shots of 2012

December 18, 2012 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Since “Obsessed with 2011” went over so well last year, I decided to include the photos in this year’s roundup of favourites. 2012 had me bouncing all over, hence there is some location variation. I’ve probably gone through background of these shots in their original posts (which can be accessed by clicking on the photographs or their titles), so I won’t bore you and just let you get straight to the pics! Top 10 ‘Snapshots’ of 2012 10. On Returning: Alright… it’s a […]

Gracias a la Vida

November 5, 2012 by snapshotsandneedledrops

I have just returned from the most spectacular trip to Mexico for my cousin’s wedding. Everything was sensational. I still have the Mexican sun on my skin and hair and its sand in all my clothes and shoes. Mexico and I do have a give-and-take relationship however, and a part of me has been left there as well- flying around in what I’m sure is close to a thousand mosquitos. This is merely one of 1305 photos I took, of […]
