365 DAYS #363 Father, Son on Flickr.

My dad didn’t know I took this photo, using my iPhone was the most inconspicuous way of doing it. It’s not that he would have minded me taking a photo of him but I just wanted to capture a natural moment shared between us as we were in Sorrento today with mum, visiting family.

365 DAYS #362 GPOYW № 5 on Flickr.

This is the final GPOYW for my project, sitting in the back seat of my parent’s car as we are on our way out.

365 DAYS #361 I Love You Mum on Flickr.

This is probably, by far, my favourite photo of the entire project. This is the photo I’ve been waiting to take ever since I began on Jan 1st.

It’s been a tough 12 months or so for my family, especially for my mum, who is sitting next to me in this photo, as we watch the sun set on what has been a beautiful day in Melbourne.

I couldn’t be happier to be home in Melbourne for the holidays - a trip only possible thanks to my parents - and I’m extremely grateful to be able to share a moment like this with my mum out the front of our home.

There is a short instrumental track on the Watchmen soundtrack entitled “I Love You Mum” - you have to read the comic or watch the film to understand where it fits in, but that is where I’ve borrowed the title from to name this photo.

365 DAYS #360 3D Tradition on Flickr.

I’ve taken a few photos for this project using other cameras, in particular my iPhone but I like that.

Today is Boxing Day and my brother and I have always had a tradition of heading to the movies in the afternoon before indulging in Christmas leftovers for dinner.

It’s been great spending time with my brother, especially when we do things we always enjoy doing together, like eating popcorn, boysenberry choctops and watching films like Tintin.

365 DAYS #359 This Is Christmas on Flickr.

Living in the UK, I’ve met people who cannot comprehend a warm Christmas in Australia. One thing I’ve come to realise is that Christmas has nothing to do with the weather or the place - Christmas is where your family is, where your home is. This is Christmas for me.

365 DAYS #357 Thongs! on Flickr.

It felt like almost a rite of passage that I had to go through in order to continue with my 3 week holiday at home in Melbourne - a new pair of Havaianas. My feet thanked me graciously!

365 DAYS #356 Sunny & 28! on Flickr.

Today has been a day spent with my dad in the backyard, helping him with his latest project - a deck around our newly replaced swimming pool.

I took a short break however to snap this from the front of what is our family home and has been for 27 years. I love this house, not only for it’s memories, but for the people that live under it’s roof and the fact that this house, in Ferntree Gully, will always be home.

Today’s weather forecast was “sunny and 28” - and the weatherman wasn’t wrong!

365 DAYS #355 Crash on Flickr.

This is me on the night of my third day back home in Melbourne. After only 2 hours sleep the night before, I was the walking dead for most of the afternoon, before I crashed at just after 9.

Luckily I slept for close to 12 hours!

365 DAYS #353 I Love You Man on Flickr.

After a hiatus of 570 days, the band is back together! I have missed these two brothers of mine like you couldn’t imagine.

This is bro-love right here. Pure and unconditional bro-love!

I miss Melbourne, MasterChef & @MattsCravat!

View from Match Bar, Little Lonsdale St, Melbourne. Enjoying one final night with my closest friends before I head overseas.

Catching the train home from the footy tonight, a kid travelling home with his dad dropped his Myki card and yearly concession.

I’m going to attempt to get this back to them. But took the opportunity to take a photo.
