Early starts and late nights. I’m beyond exhausted, and finally in my own bed. I’ve spent the last 2 nights at Ved’s place, as we’ve been busy with Autorush Car Show at The Dome in Sydney Olympic Park. You can check out my coverage on Zen Blog: http://www.zengarage.com.au/2014/12/autorush-2014

Panasonic Lumix LF1

Posted on 11 December, 2014 by Justin Fox

lf1_lumix
That Leica feeing.

lf1_thin
So thin, definitely fit nicely in my pocket.

dsptch
DSPTCH camera straps are awesome!

I’ve been wanting a tiny pocket cameras for a while now. It was going to be between the LF1, or the LX7 (which has way better depth of field but is a fair bit larger than the LF1). It’s been a year now of um and erring about which one to get, but the other day Jing bought a Ricoh GR and that pushed me over the edge to make a purchase (lol). I ended up going with the Panasonic Lumix LF1, it’s TINY, shoots in raw, has an electronic viewfinder and Wi-Fi too.

I also bought a DSPTCH wrist sling for it too. Love DSPTCH products as they’re all interchangable via quick release buckles. I often unclip my straps when shooting indoors and these DSPTCH straps make it a breeze to do so.

LYNXPERX

Who doesn’t love free goodies in the mail?!

lynxperx
There were 2 big wooden boxes (both of which instantly filled my lounge room with great scents). One had a whole lot of Lynx gear in it.

SheryoxTheYok
Under all that gear was this rad Sheryo x The Yok T (which I ended up wearing all day in town today).

lynx_styling_box
The other was rather fancy, with a golden latch, and inside a comb, mirror, brush and a sliding compartment which reveals Lynx’s new hair products (very cool).

lynx_goodies
I’ve never used antiperspirants before, but the stuff in this picture I’m definitely going to use on a daily basis. Hair stuff, 2 types of Shampoo & Conditioner in one and 2 different types of body wash too. For more info on this gear, visit LYNX.

Hotel Harry

Posted on 11 December, 2014 by Justin Fox

hotelharry
From the outside. I’d forgotten what the old pub that was there before looked like… have definitely never ever walked in there before though.

inside
Really inviting decor inside. Fake patina, but done really nicely.

smoker
The smoker!!!

pig
The pig says it all.

condements
The Caribbean theme is carried throughout the entire building. For drinks; Nanami went with the Paloma tequila cocktail. I had a glass of a robust red from Chile.

ribs
Couldn’t resist ordering the apple roasted pork neck riblets. They came with a special BBQ sauce in a medicine bottle, but the robs were so damn tasty they really didn’t need the (amazing) extra sauce. The flat bread was next level! I’d go back just for the bread!

fishtacos
Fish Tacos, the best both of us have ever had.

The 100yr old Macquarie Hotel on the corner of Goulburn Street and Wentworth Avenue in Surry Hills has reopened with a Caribbean makeover with chef, Paul Wilson (Icebergs, Bar de Thé and Salon de Thé), consulting on the menu with a Latin theme. Wood-smoked barbacoa, slow cooking Australian heritage and sustainable meats in Latin spices over aromatic woods.

Nanami and I checked it out today and we weren’t disappointed! The venue’s awesome, upstairs as well as downstairs. They’ve done a great job theming the interior, it’s so cool in there I’d want to hire it out for my 40th next year! The food was amazing and I can’t wait to go back and try everything else on the menu with a bigger group of friends.

Mount White Day 3

Posted on 9 December, 2014 by Justin Fox

milesdance2
Day 3 started out much like Day 2, in that straight after breakfast Miles wanted to dance to The Gummy Bear Song (be careful with clicking that link, the tune has been caught in my head all day long ahaha).

splash
Super grey day today, but hot nonetheless so we all still hung around the pool. Miles still isn’t quite brave enough to jump in yet, but he loves splashing water all over Richie!

Mount White Day 2

Woke up to the sound of rain, but it soon stopped so I went for a bush walk down the very nicely landscaped rock gardens out the front of the property.

mountwhite_sculpture
One of the 2 people who own this place are artists who paint and make sculptures. This one was on the land quite far away from the main house.

mountwhite_artstudio
They’ve got a free standing art studio too, nice of them to leave the doors open!

That view of the bush outside! Amazing!

A quick storm passed, then we were treated with a glorious sunset.

Spending the next 3 nights in Mount White with my family, on a 50 acre property high up overlooking the Hawkesbury River with absolutely no neighbours in sight! Just amazing. We’re in heaven and we can’t get over how beautiful it is out here (yes I have wifi too haha).
