Must Have Photo Album
Oct. 6 09
If your love Australian fashion, than you are no doubt a fan of Australian magazine, Frankie. I am a huge fan of the magazine, so when I spoke with someone from the marketing department about Frankie’s first ever limited edition photo album, I was through the roof.
It is absolutely breath-taking! The photo album features the work of more than 100 amateur and professional photographers from around the world, in hopes that it will inspire anyone who’s ever picked up a camera and delight those who just like looking at pretty pictures.
A very good friend of papernstitch, Susannah Conway, who you may remember from her stint here on the blog as a contributor {super 16}, is also in the book with some of her beautiful photos, like the one above. Congratulations Susannah. We miss you!
Visit Frankie magazine to pre-order The Photo Album (officially releases on October 14th).
Super 16: A Last Coffee
Aug. 11 09
This is my final Super 16 column, and as we started with a look at food I thought we’d finish with a delicious postprandial coffee. I adore coffee but in recent months have discovered that I can’t drink too much of it (devastating news!), so when I do indulge I make sure it’s rich, syrupy and total perfection in a cup. Coffee is the fuel that powers our working day; it’s the warming brew that comforts us in a snowstorm; the milky nectar that brings friends together. How do you take yours?
Thank you, Brittni, for letting me share my favourites with you all. I hope you’ve enjoyed the ride and found some new discoveries along the way. Enjoy the rest of your summer, friends! ~ Susannah x

Super 16: Beautiful Hands
Aug. 4 09
Hands are my favourite part of the human body. You can speak with your hands; we hold the hands of our children as we cross the road. We paint and sew and write with our hands. We make music with them too. We show our commitment to the one we love with a ring on our finger. You can tell so much about a person by the state of their hands – how well they have loved, how hard they have worked. Bitten nails speak volumes. And photographs of hands? Well, I love those the best of all.
Until we meet again… Susannah

Super 16: Hot Wheels
Jul. 28 09
In another life I own a VW campervan; she is deep turquoise blue and has super-shiny hubcaps. Inside the van are blankets made from knitted granny squares and lots of squishy cushions, and at weekends we go driving in the countryside, cameras packed in the back with a fully-stocked hamper for picnicking opportunities. She’s ferried me all over Europe and parked in the mud at music festivals. But as i said, this is another life, another me. The me right now doesn’t have a driver’s license (true), but oh, one day that van will be mine!
Drive safely, friends ~ Susannah

Super 16: Writing Life
Jul. 21 09
If I don’t have a camera in my hand you can bet good money I have some kind of writing instrument there – pens, pencils, my beloved Moleskines – to me, the narrative nature of photography complements the writing life so well. When reading I see images in my mind’s eye; when looking at photographs I conjure stories in my head. And is there anything more evocative of fairy tales and imagination than a dreamy Polaroid of a vintage typewriter? Oh the stories those beauties could tell!
Until we meet again… Susannah

Super 16: Ocean Dreams
Jul. 14 09
I grew up beside the sea and I think this has coloured the way I see the world. Until a year ago I lived 10 minutes from the shore and I find that I am missing the pull of the tides, wishing I could go for a stroll along the beach, and not have to drive an hour to have that pleasure. I was spoiled, living so close to the water; when something is so everyday you take it for granted, not knowing that when it is gone you’ll pine for it, yearning for sand between your toes and seagulls soaring overhead. So my Super 16 is dedicated to the ocean, in all its grandeur and majesty.
Until next time, friends… Susannah
