These brilliant snapshots are of the first Australasian Expedition to the Antarctic which departed Hobart in 1911. Led by Dr Douglas Mawson, the group of scientists visited Macquarie Island and undiscovered regions of Antarctica.
James Francis (Frank) Hurley was the official photographer, but other members of the crew also took pictures.
Oh! What I would give to be an explorer living in black-and-white pictures… definitely daydream-worthy material.

about
Red Shoes & Cobblestones is an online catalogue of some of the things that I imagine, love and ponder in life, the universe and everything.
I love to write, and I love to take photographs. I make zines, copper jewellery, rushed sketches, and I am learning to play the guitar.
Sometimes I like to imagine that I live in a world where all that I need in life is a pair of red shoes and a cobblestone street in Paris...
