**Announcement** I have decided to changed my Instagram handle from 'kiwiontheloose_' to 'postcards_from_sarah' I've been feeling for a long time that my previous handle wasn't really reflective of what I was posting and I didn't feel like a 'kiwi on the loose' but more like a 'caged kiwi let out occassionally' I love taking photos & sharing them but I don't want to feel like I am restricted to 'travel' photos. I feel like I can now share 'postcards' from my life instead. Eventually I will be looking to change my Facebook and blog profiles to but thought I would start with Instagram.

Reposted with my dad's photo Sometimes life does something and you are like "but huh!?" Back in 2015 I did a trip to Scotland which included a day trip to Loch Lomond.. cool story aye? Well less than a year later I was at home in Christchurch looking at my dad's old photos from when he was in then NZ Navy. I came across a photo he took of Loch Lomond .. I believe it was the late 1940's/early 1950's. I know he was in the UK for the Queen's Coronation. I hadn't known he had even been to the UK at all. I knew he was around Malta during WW2 & that he had met Prince Philip at some point (he wasn't a fan 😀) This isn't the first time I've come across a family member who I have retraced the steps of. A couple years ago I discovered my great aunts diary from her UK trip with her sister back in 1938/39. I found a day where we both had pretty much the exact day in London from visiting St Paul's to finding the historic Temple Church. I love moments like that

These cameras always remind me of my dad because he use to have one. It sat in a top cupboard in the kitchen for many years. When he passed away, one of my brothers inherited it. Not many people know this but my dad was the first person who got me interested in photography. When I was 15, my parents and I went on a trip to Dunedin. I was allowed to use another camera dad had when we went to visit Larnach Castle. Stupid amateur me forgot to take the lens cap off before taking a full roll of photos 😂 Of course he laughed at me and called me a silly billy but I got the bug. It wasn't until I moved to Australia that I really got into photography due to visits home to Christchurch and wanting to document the city I come from. After he passed away I lost my passion for my hobby and it was a long time before I started to feel that passion again. Even now I have moments where I could easily walk away but something keeps dragging me back.

London has been on my mind a bit lately, though to be fair London is nearly always on my mind! Can't believe I'm not heading back to my favourite city this year. I am going to some amazing places but part of me is tempted to change my plans completely so I can include London. There is always next year I guess 🤔 Neal's Yard, Covent Garden Nov 2017

Brisbane's Shibuya Crossing? Obviously not as busy as the famous Tokyo crossing, but at home time the intersection of Adelaide & Edward Streets is full of pedestrians going in all directions.

So I've been passed this barber shop when I've been on the bus and I always think I'd love to take a photo or two of it. Well today I did. They were in between customers & I said I'd love to take some photos, to which they said no worries. I said I didn't want to look dodgy but I think it looks like I was having taken this photo but I couldn't resist. Sometimes an opportunity appears & you just gotta take it! Thanks for the shot Razor Boys
