Yesterday was a beautiful summer evening here in Melbourne. There was a stack of cold watermelon slices just waiting to be devoured. It was about 8 pm and the sun was still shining. But I've got my hand up like a policeman. Hold off the watermelon, guys. Everyone's got their eyebrows raised. "I've simply got to photograph it first," I explain candidly. That's when the rest of my family start the synchronised eye-roll. You know the one? Yep, that's it. Photography first, then we eat the watermelon. Let's get our priorities right.
