The Melbourne Way- Competition!

Morning! Everyone is always asking me where I get my ideas from. How do I come up with craft ideas? What possesses me to add lace to everything I own? Why on earth do I insist on wearing such impractical looking clothing?

Today I thought I would try to give you a bit of an insight into myself and take you into a very scary place… my brain.

I was given the opportunity by Nuffnang to take a Panasonic Lumix TZ10 camera for a spin so I thought it would be a good way for you all to take a look into how I see the world! The best part is that there’s a competition at the end too ^_^

So are you ready to go in my brain? Make sure to wipe your feet before you enter, I don’t want you tracking mud all over my pretty pink brain!

Step 1.

Press play on the video below. It’s “Super Jet Shoes” by Perfume and it’s my favorite song at the moment. It’s been stuck in my head for several months now! This will be your soundtrack to my life ^_^

  2. hehe i would take it to japan of course and photograph the gorge cherry blossoms :)

  3. My Entry: I would take the Panasonic Lumix TZ10 to Berlin and take a photo of my boyfriend with one foot in West Berlin and the other in East Berlin!

    My Comment: That song is very catchy, it sounds like Morning Musume have inhaled helium! The pictures are funny and really smartly done, I wish I could blog as well as you do!

  4. This is such a cute post! I love the tram kitty!
    I’d take my camera to the old town in Stockholm (lazy, since it’s where I live…) where many buildings are over 100 years old and so beautiful! There are lots of cute little cobblestone alleys that are, in my opinion, perfect for fashion shoots. So I’d take some clothes out and make a stunning photo series.

  5. Yay! More contest please =)

    I would bring TZ10 with me wherever I go. And use it to take different pictures. From strangers like homeless under rain, kids running in the park, sunset at the beach, delicious food, historic buildings to family and friends. I’ll be using it to snap pictures at my own graduation, to capture that very special moment, smiles and proud in my parents eyes. I’ll be using it to snap what I see when I travel around Aussie-land, and when I’m at the United State, Egypt, Japan and Europe in the upcoming months. It would be great to carry TZ10 because it is light, suitable for ladies who love photography, want to take good pictures but didn’t want to carry the heavy DSLR.

    Cheers x

  9. I just love how you did your photos! Your brain isn’t scary at all; its actually quite cute!!! I thought the same thing about the Charmmy bags store (Charmmy Kitty?! I love Charmmy Kitty almost as much as The Cat herself! Oh, wait a minute, thats not some odd Sanrio store, it has backpacks in the window! T_T;;)

    Err, don’t enter me… I live quite a ways away from Australia.

    • Omg I love Charmmy Kitty so much! I saw it out of the corner of my eye and almost jumped out of the tram, luckily I realised it was a bag store in time XD I’m so glad you liked the post!

  10. Rebecca

    Awww, Super Jet Shoes~ have you heard the original version by Ishii Rika (AKA Peachy)? It’s just as adorable!

  11. Taryn

    Oh so cute! Love the photos and the drawings, fav is your new puppy off the street haha.

    I would take my Panasonic Lumix TZ10 on a picnic! To snap the beautiful Brisbane weather and my gorgeous friends!

  12. oops only jus realised u had 2 b an australian resident :(
    fuyume recently blogged about..HimeGyaru Tutorial List

  13. I would take it to Italy, which is where i am going in October. I would love to take some beautiful pictures of the Tuscan countryside with it :)

  14. Esz

    You’re so creative! I love your little drawings on everything :-D

  15. “Where in the World would you take the Panasonic Lumix TZ10 and what photo would you take?”

    I would take the TZ10 to Japan and take photos of the amazing street styles you can find there! Then I’d post them on my blog of course. >w< Ooo, and if I could find some cats sitting in a cherry tree I'd take photos of them too!

    Comment ~ Love your pictures over the pictures, they were really cute and cool!

    xox,

  16. “Where in the World would you take the Panasonic Lumix TZ10 and what photo would you take?”

    I’d take it into the depths of cities and photograph little secret stores, restaurants, all of the places you don’t normally see. I’d document the fashion of the underground and try to photograph as many styles as possible, then write a book documenting my findings.

    I’m so odd LOL

  17. I would travel as many places as possible to take pictures of gorgeous, frilly, pink, elegant, and C.U.T.E. everythings ♥

  18. I somewhat relate with how you see the world. I’m so glad I’m not the only one who personify transportation vehicles, and see fully formed craft projects when gazing upon raw materials.

    As a long time reader, first time poster – I thought I might give the comp a little spin since I REALLY need a camera (I would have said “new camera” but I’ve never actually gone out and bought my own camera, they’ve always been borrowed)…

    Comp entry:

    My dear Violet, I would love to win this camera as it seems to be the only thing that might be able to take photos of my beautiful rattie boys (who are all too hyperactive to take good photos of). I would therefore take it home, and try to snap photos of them when they are all upside-down in my hands with their little paws on their little fluffy tummies. I promise I will link you to a little movie of them if I win this camera. *love*

    • Aw thanks so much for commenting Lutetium, I am so glad you decided to enter :D I hope you have good luck with your entry!

  19. I can really relate to how you see the world. I’m glad I’m not the only one who personify transporation vehicles, and see fully formed craft projects when I gaze upon raw materials.

    As a long time reader, first time poster – I thought I’d give this comp a little spin. Mostly because I REALLY need a camera to call my own (no more borrowing and begging for me!).

    Comp entry:

    Dear Violet, I would travel to my home and take photos of my beautiful rattie boys (which is almost impossible even with the boyfriend’s big pro-looking camera because they won’t stay put and usually look like fat blurs or only get the tip of their tail as they run off). I’ve always want to get a photo of them when I bundle them all up in my hands and flip them on their backs so their little paws go flop and rest on their cute fuzzy tumtums. This has been tried many times and failed miserably. I hope that this camera can finally help me achieve this. I also promise that I will send you that photo if I win the camera :D

    *love*

    I would take it around Melbourne to always make sure I capture the little gems I find.

  21. Hello Violet,

    I would take the camera to Rome. I am going there with my History of Typography class at uni in a couple of months, and I would take pictures of all that we will be shown. Beautifully carved lettering in blocks of stone so full of history its unbelievable. Pictures like that would be inspirational for years to come, and it would help me remember the trip better.

  22. Mischa

    Hi Violet!

    Absolutely love your blog. I chanced upon it when I was searching for a tutorial to make bows! :D

    I’ve an idea for a tutorial (I hope you’re interested!)

    Could you show us steps to create our very own cartoon of ourselves? The details seems so intricate!

    • Thanks so much for reading and commenting Mischa! I will definitely add that to my list of tutorials to make, though it would probably be hard because everyone’s cartoon would look so different, hmm I’ll have a think. Thanks so much for the idea!

  23. Your silly, fluffy pink brain is a lovely place to be!! (Tho of course it only APPEARS fluffy – it’s really sharp and high-tech, as we all know)

    Stunningly creative post!! I’d take the Lumix to Japan of course, but would have to think about what picture I’d most like to take…

    I loved the “No Right Turn” to “Shoe Shop Ahead” that was definitely the most awesome one, I laughed too loudly for this time of night!

    I would like to take my Panasonic Lumix TZ10 BACK IN TIME! It’s still within this world so I hope that still counts! I’d love to take a shot each decade of my rural town developing over the past 150 years and mural of it!

  25. Your photos turned out really nice! It looks like such a nice camera, though of course I immediately color it milky pink in my head (I do that with all electronics though ^^; haha) and think it looks better! I am not a resident of Australia, but I wanted to answer the question anyway!! (Hope that is OK)

    If I had a new camera (mine only just broke) I would take it on whacky adventures! I just moved to Taiwan and really wish I could document all the different things here to post on Facebook or Livejournal or my (sadly neglected) blog! This past month I have gone touring with a summer camp and just came back from mad mountain trips where it is a bit of a trend to have rocks and colors on the mountainside resemble things like a gorilla, an alligator, the Monkey King, a cabbage, etc. A camera would have been so nifty!

    • Of course you are welcome to answer though it won’t count towards the competition ^_^ Haha I’ve already deco’d the camera because I didn’t want to see the black anymore! I would have much preferred it in milky pink too :) Oh wow you’ve moved to Taiwan? That must be such a fun adventure! The places you’ve visited sound fantastic for photos! Thanks so much for commenting :D

  26. Hi! Wow the pictures look amazing, and yo’re adorable!!!!!!!!!

    If I had the Lumix TZ10, I would love to travel the world and take picture of me next to all the world’s greatest landmarks! Taking pictures of the world at it’s best :D!

  27. Bec

    Where in the world would I take a Panasonic Lumix TZ10?
    I’d go visit the villages of beautiful people scattered around the South Pacific Islands. To be able to capture the culture and spirt of these people would be amazing and something that I could look back on for inspiration in the years to come. I would also be able to share the experience with others who may not have the chance to do the same.

    Love the blog Violet. Your new posts make my day!

  28. Where in the world would I take the beautiful Panasonic Lumix TZ10?

    Well, after a few years of existing without a properly functioning camera, I would probably take this little gem in to my welcomed arms and take it EVERYWHERE with me. It doesn’t matter where the destination might be! I could be trudging in the cold, wet weather of Melbourne to University; to all of my shopping and food adventures; and even to any sort of bathroom (just so I can take some self shots of myself!) ~! And this of course means that I would take not only beautiful scenery photos, or use it in photoshoots of when I cosplay with my boyfriend – but even for the times when I feel like taking a picture of my feet! Why? Well, why wouldn’t you? With a camera like this …why would you not want to use it to it’s maximum potential?

    As usual Violet, your Nuffnang posts for these products are always awesome *-*!

    • :D Thanks so much Melody! I’m so glad that you enjoyed it, I always try extra hard to make these posts not boring!

    I’d love to take the Panasonic TZ10 to southern Western Australia during the spring season to take great close up photos of all the beautiful wild flowers and birdlife.

  30. I would try to capture all the beautiful and shiny things that I come across in my daily life, so I’d have to take it everywhere. From trudging to work, to jetting off on holiday, interesting photos are out there wating to be taken I would diligently hunt them down if i had the Panasonic TZ10
