Hello from sunny Sydney!
My little adventure back home has begun with lots of family hugs and stories from the past 7 months. I worried that coming home after such a long absence would feel strange and that things would have changed. Some things are different, many have remained the same but it’s nice to sit down to dinner with my family and have things as they always were. I’m heading out for some quality sister time today and hopefully will return with some Polaroid magic.
In the midst of my packing and leaving for the airport, some very exciting news was announced. If you follow me on twitter, you may have already heard our big announcement.
Over the past 6 months, some very talented and gorgeous ladies and I have been madly planning something big. Something that is a dream come true for me, something that I’m still quite shocked about, something that I think you might like.
Jenifer Altman, Susannah Conway and I have been offered a book deal with Chronicle Books and I couldn’t be happier! We put together a proposal for a ‘How To’ book on Polaroids. Chronicle came back to us with an offer and we have accepted. The book is looking at a release date of Spring 2012, so it’s a while off yet but it’s super exciting and something that I am very passionate about. I know that it is going to be something really special and I cannot wait to share more of our journey with you.
Polaroid shooting here I come!

Congratulations again on the book deal! That is very exciting and I can’t wait to see what you three amazing photographers produce.
Also, I’m glad you’re having fun back home in Sydney! Hurray for visiting parents and family!
