my name is courtney i'm a 24 year old fine arts graduate, film photography enthusiast and general crafty lady.

'pony up' is a collection of words, ideas, reviews and images that i have either come across or created, that i hope will cause your smiles to beam, hearts to warm or minds to ponder.

I was bursting to test out my new shooter the Olympus Stylus Epic Mju 2 so I pulled it out at The Forum for Seth Sentry’s Friday night gig. Pretty happy with the results!

Big Design Market

On Sunday I popped into the bustling Big Design Market, the largest of its kind in Australia, held at the iconic Royal Exhibition Building. Spread over three huge days, the market boasted a variety of homewares and textiles, fashion and accessories, books, stationery, kids and lifestyle products. I took a few snaps but it was too busy to truly take everything in!

the glorious Beci Orpin!
