Travel Diary: Sydney

After two long years of not being able to travel internationally, I finally got a chance to hop on a plane, use the passport and revisit our home from before Saigon. Sydney holds so many memories, friends and, as we found out on this trip, new corners and neighbourhoods to explore. Staying with friends, I got to explore the neighbourhoods of Bondi Beach and Manly where in the past they were merely weekend beach destinations. Always looking at the watch to make sure I got the last bus or ferry back in order to catch the train back to the Inner West, evenings were few and far between. Having the time to slow down and wander the streets gave me a new appreciation of Bondi and Manly’s cafes, lesser known haunts, and general every day vibe. I revisited old familiar blocks and gave all the hugs and made new memories. I tried to shoot previously visits places with new eyes and capture every day life as well as some famous locations for some tourist action. All in all it was incredible be back in the Oz and has me longing to get back as soon as possible!
