I am Amy Neeson…

I grew up listening to INXS. I stay up late… I wonder what tomorrow will bring. I like pina coladas… And getting caught in the rain. I love listening to the stories old people tell… I like to smell mothballs on vintage clothes. Green is my favourite colour… I adore May flowers…

…I love ornate frames and musty old books. I think its fine to rhyme… I drink strawberry milk. I own 3 chickens. I jump and clap when I’m happy… I like to pretend I’m a ballerina. I spill my breakfast, I love sweet sparkly wine. I am content about getting older, I worry about trapeze artists. I love owls. I am contrary. I don’t appreciate facetiousness. I want red shoes! I don’t get hiccups when I’m nervous and I don’t like vegemite. I like scruffy dogs and I love William Blake.

My favourite movie is Great Expectations. When I grow up I want to be an old Italian Nona… A wonderful cook and adored by my family. My daughter is cheeky and funny… My son is affectionate and happy. My husband and I are high school sweethearts… I’m an idealistic day dreamer and he is a realist… But he still loves me.

I love old photographs and family trees. I think it is important to leave your memories for loved ones… That is the reason I love photography.
