Lots of people tend to ask me where I’ve been to during my stay in Japan. There’s probably a level of disappointment when they discover I’ve mostly been in the Kansai area. As much as I’d love to visit other areas, for me there’s great satisfaction in trying to really explore and get to know where I’m staying. In many ways it was the same when we started Backseat Ballads: lots of people were surprised to discover we had so many amazing camping and scenic spots in Victoria that they would never have known about until they saw our photos (and for the dedicated fans, read our blog post). Its ironic because I’ve gotten the same response from my Japanese friends who are surprised when they discover how much I’ve explored around Osaka/Kyoto. Let’s just say my cafe game is strong whether it’s back in Melbourne or here in Japan 😉☕️ // 2011 . . . #backseatballads #camp1 #bsb5years #humannature #lasttoknow #rayesoutdoors #welivetoexplore #lifeofadventure #letsgosomewhere #livefolk #visitmelbourne #stayandwander #wandervictoria #visualsoflife #mytinyatlas #exploreaustralia #igersmelbourne #camp #cathedralranges #mtdonnabuang #coffee (at Mount Donna Buang) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo-z3ZxAyNg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fz95mrxb0qe3

Slowly shifting my priorities back to the more important things in life. Kinship, shared meals and meaningful connections is what Backseat Ballads is all about and a year away has allowed me to acknowledge the new chapter in this history of BSB. I doubt the whole model shoots will be something I’ll do for the rest of my life... but you can guarantee I’ll be there to capture the moments at any BSB event ranging from camps, dinners and now baptisms!
