BURN is buzzing…..in New York…..now….
wherever i went at the recent New York Photo Festival in the last couple of days, BURN was the talk of the town…now yes of course it would SEEM like that to ME…..but, even factoring out the dah pride thing, BURN was buzzing…..
however, forget that….the important thing right now for all of us is the response you have given us starting within seconds of us putting up the donation button…..as many of you know i was reluctant to put up a donate button…..hard for me to ask…but the response has been humbling to say the least….YOU have saved BURN…well, you have saved BURN for another month or so…but, that might be just about right….we are making the big push for responsible sponsorship, setting up a gallery for your work, continuing as per normal my personal mentoring for some of you, and continuing to put out an online magazine (annual print)where we can share our opinions on a wide variety of styles …. where the integrity and morality of the work is just as important as the aesthetic……
i want us to be on the high ground…as sponsors now view us, each person here is personally responsible for our move into a whole new world of publishing….what you now write is read by many in our craft and in our art…your words are now more than ever IMPORTANT….as you hold me to my responsibilities, i will hold you to yours…..
think before you write and write exactly as you think…
as we move closer to Look3 and the announcement of our EPF grant recipient, our discovery/promotion of the new talent imperative here on BURN will clearly be manifested….you may or may not agree with the finalists and the final jury choice, but i do not want anyone to doubt the integrity of the selection….Anton and i together went through all 1,200 entries…i made the selection of the ten finalists within the context of serious second opinion from Anton….so we alone are responsible for the ten finalists soon to be presented on BURN starting probably on Tuesday….a prestigious eclectic jury of peers will make the final choice for the 2009 recipient….neither Anton nor i will have a vote towards the grant recipient….there will be other, soon to be announced, support for the remaining finalists as well…
our potential sponsors will notice our traffic and the loyalty of our audience….mostly they will notice our audience produced content with the emphasis on authorship……they will definitely notice your volunteered financial support for BURN….i thank you for all three from the bottom of my heart….
part of my plan is to put some respected legends in our craft on commissions specifically for BURN…i want to do the same for some of you……not just the EPF finalists, but for the most talented of you here on BURN….for example, one legend producing original photography for BURN and three emerging photographers on an equal commissions doing original work as well….i can put this together with guaranteed photographer’s publishing rights, better than editorial day rates, and artistic control by the authors….how could i represent anything less??? we are going to rock with this one….
i will count on you to help keep BURN all it can be, and i will do all i can to help you to be all that you are….

DAH and Fellow BURNERS,
“…think before you write and write exactly as you think…”
Always good advice, which I have tried in my own humble and at times inadequate way to follow, both on “Road Trips” and now on BURN. I don’t always leap up to add my own comments to every photo or essay these days, but it doesn’t mean I don’t look at and think about the photos, or read and think about the comments. Over the last couple of years, aside from the exposure here to a wide range of photography and personalities, and the fun of hanging out with DAH even at a distance, the writing… and the reading… I’ve done here has taught me a lot about communicating, how to look at photographs, how to think about them, and how to talk about them. And, at times, how to hold my peace.
One of the ironic characteristics of the Internet is that while it makes any kind of commenting, blurting out ideas, engaging in repartee, drooling out drivel, striking a macho pose, or being offhandedly dismissive, ridiculously easy, it also broadcasts the message infinitely in time and space… and the thoughtless or casual tweet becomes indelibly carved in cyberspace, possibly to return and haunt its owner years later. The Internet is also democratic… thoughtless, shallow, abrupt, or dismissive opinions get posted on the same forum with really heartfelt, sensitive, profound, and illuminating writing.
Now, one of the great attractions of “Road Trips” was a frothy mix of the lighthearted and casual with the serious and considered. And some of the ‘confrontational’ stuff actually added drama… and a more embracing synthesis once the drama was resolved. At times the balance may have veered a little off course, but DAH’s gentle nudge of the tiller was usually enough to regain balance and keep momentum building. You don’t need me to repeat what a marvelous journey this has been up to this point, and how excited everyone who has been involved, even peripherally like me, must feel. There’s a question in my mind about DAH’s words of caution above, however… will this make people too self-conscious to be spontaneous, take unexpected detours off-thread, or crack light-hearted jokes? Or maybe back down from a confrontation before they’ve actually said their piece?
Maybe I’m only projecting. If you’re really centered in who you are and what you’re doing, then damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead. Yes, the stakes are getting higher now, the audience is much bigger, but that’s no reason to get stagefright… Remember, it wasn’t ONLY the serious stuff that made both “Road Trips” and BURN such an attractive place to hang out. In the last couple of weeks it seems to me the commenters have mainly been ‘the usual suspects’, a rather circumscribed group that frankly feels a bit claustrophobic to me compared to “Road Trips” when it was in high gear. I’m hoping the posting of the EPF finalists will spark dialogue from a much wider range of commenters. And I promise not to personally hog the airwaves. Best of luck to you, DAH, and everybody else! But let’s not get too serious… remember, it’s only Rock’n'Roll.

DAVID,
I do think that what makes this place so special indeed is that the audience is also producing content. Clearly, no matter where a great piece of work comes from, it is always a pleasure to look at it, but personally, the most satisfying for me, since the early days of Road Trips, has been to closely follow the growth and development of some of the readers. I find it so rewarding to see what some started with, witness the evolution of their work. A year ago, I remember that Panos was the man everyone hated when you announced the first EPR recipient… a year later almost, Panos just did a big exhibit of his Venice work…what a cool journey… similar stories are true of Patricia, Audrey. Sean is now rolling more than ever. James got some big award for his cemetery work… Hillary as well has just amazed me with what she just did… Of course, we cannot say that this all happened only because of Road Trips and Burn…Several of these photographers would have done good work regardless but you have acted as a catalyst for so many out there and you are still giving to so many that kick to get out and shoot, produce work… From a personal standpoint, the same is true for me. Just this week, I have been holding in my hands the book that I have done with Blurb (hopefully leading to another publication later on) with my “Lords of the Ring” work. I hope to show it to you at Look3 but I was looking at this with some positive feeling of accomplishment (I hope you do like it…) and there is absolutely no way that this work would have ever taken place if it was not for you and the challenge you had set many of us to tell stories, give ourselves the dream assignment that we would have liked to be given… Because of all this and more, I will continue to support BURN in the best way that I can and sometimes contribute with my own work. Somehow, I have been less present than I would like on BURN and far less that on Road Trips…maybe for the reasons that Sydney shares above. I maybe have been missing the more lighthearted and casual nature of Road Trips but I think that the most likely reason is that my crazy hectic life of the past months has made it more difficult and somehow felt less in touch. I hope that as I settle back in Europe, I will have more ability to stay close and participate. My obsession lately has been to find another project to get my teeth into. In any case David, I am sure you must be proud to see what BURN has become and I think this is just a beginning. I think that we should be calling you Merlin with Anton being the magic wand that supports you… the two of you create magic :):):)
I can’t wait to see the great essays that you must have selected this year and I look forward to see this combo of Legend and emerging photographers in action very soon.
Cheers,
Eric
hang in there D Harvey. sounds, hope your the De Niro of still film.
SIDNEY…
i absolutely do not want to create stage fright at all….the loose ramble always welcomed….however, the looseness of Road Trips was in a 180 degree out different environment than this..
BURN publishes the work of many readers and may finance the work of some…
Road Trips did not publish any work from readers …a very significant distinction that many forget…RT may have given me more time to chit chat with readers while BURN is a major editing vocation…and remember also Sidney, at any given time i am behind the scenes on Skype with no less than 5 readers working on their essays…..however, i still jump in here quite a bit…but, mostly i am interested in what you all have to say to each other…
the Dialogue section (right here) gets pretty loose , on any topic, and can certainly always be our “bulletin board”…
in any case Sidney you have a voice….i listen…we all listen….i try to respond when possible and when appropriate as now….
as i have said to you from day one…thanks for being here….
ERIC…
when i first met you and your father in Sicily, i knew you were quite an unusual case….your work was professional in nature, even though you hold down a full time career having nothing to do with photography and also have a more than full time job as dad and husband….your development has been astounding….and your enthusiasm catching for all around you….i am ready to work with you on your next project…but, let’s completely finish Lords first…make sense???
WENDY….
you must just simply light up everyone around you…i never have seen you not smiling….such a flower child!!!! love it…
PETER…
that is what i want you to be…..
GRACIE….
sting like a bee too??? hmmmm…..back where we started..yup….i like circles….
cheers, david
yikes…

hmmm…
thought you left me out… good catch… edit..
cut and paste… like my friend used to say…
me a worker bee. i die after i sting. so i save it.

(more energy now that youre not such a poor boy)
Mr. Sidney Atkins,
You have the gift of the Articulate writing !!!!
I am the ‘the usual suspect’of the rather circumscribed group …and I’m HOPING the posting of the EPF finalists will spark dialogue from a much wider range of commenters. THANK YOU!
It’s only Rock’n’Roll and we love it…
“well, you have saved BURN for another month or so…”
BURNIANS AND CIVILIANS…for just another month?
…UNIVERSE we can DO better …FOCUS and DONATE !!!
“think before you write and write exactly as you think…”
I PROMISE that I will try as long as I breath here in BURN to think before I write and to be responsible
…I pledge …No more LA bomba’s from my side :(
TO OUR FUTURE SPONSORS,
We know that you are out there…
We understand how hard is to trust … Modern Times …yeap…
“Never TRUST the man who tells you all his troubles but keeps from you all his joys.”
Jewish proverb
BUT wait a minute… you can trust BURN …yes…
Cause here at BURN we are telling all our troubles and we are sharing ALL of our JOYS !!!
VIVA SPONSORS !!! Whiskey on me!!!
P.S trust ME… “Beyond Here Lies Nothing”
i think the biggest difference between road trips and here is that there is always work being discussed.. always new work to look at.. and that´s made this a place to visit way beyond the reasons on road trips – which was a place to talk about photography, and where the mentored photographers showed work.
what i have loved about burn is seeing some of the same people find voice for talking about specific work of others – people who they do not know.. myself included – i was never that comfortable to crit work on roadtrips..
sidney – well said.. however when i joined in on road trips it was iin part easier because of the regulars – i could see what the place was about and tuck in.. i know it is different here, but the ramblings and mumblings which are aside from photography also serve to make the place less scary i think..
in terms of the postings you´re right sidney – whats written here stays here unless deleted.. so all, myself included, need to be conscious of that. keeping the comments of the ´positive crit´ kind will encourage people to submit work..
david ah
brilliant that the plans are coming together for the commissioning wing of burn.. very exciting step not only for burn – but in terms of web-magazines in general.
many i have worked for see advertising money as easy and for keeps, and ask frequently for free work or (as with one client) ´behind the scenes´, photos for free web use while i have been working on a fee basis for the print magazine.
i know it is a trend beginning to change, and it´s about time.. it is great that burn will be showing some other sites, who are much more capable of paying, how web publishing needs to move forward.
regarding difference of opinion on here – if it´s about photography that´s brilliant.. if it is not then i would say to people – just back out of it.. use emails.. or just move on quickly.. there has to be a trend for less personal postings on here.
the commenting people here are not the majority.. and it´s great to see burn developing along lines for the silent majority, who just love looking and thinking about photography.
okay.. chasing accountants day :ø/
yesterday was a blast.. full-on family day out.
some snaps.. beate and tor capa therein

Fantastic,
I hope that Burn burns it up. Ofcourse theres buzz, theres also buzz on the internet, Burn is regularly mentioned on different blogs. Burn should be buzzing because its fresh, varied and interesting. Its also so busy its difficult to keep up with for those of us whose free time has suddenly evaporated. Can’t wait for the EPF finalists to finally be shown. Very exciting stuff, David.
EDITING PART 14 – the joy of a harvey wallbanger.
the latest installment of editing for my book – the behind-the-scenes work of burn magazine – is on my blog.
with gracious thanks david.. i was unsure we would cover much ground today.. great conversation and thoughts from you which will help me to blend the work.. legs wobbly, sweat is pouring, mouth is dry, but I CAN SEE THE FINISH-LINE :ø)
http://bophoto.co.uk/blog/blog.htm through my website or…
…………. http://bophoto-mumblings.blogspot.com/2009/05/joy-of-harvey-wallbanger-editing-pt-iv.html to see the post on it´s own, (if you have slow connection).
Merci beaucoup monsieur Eric….
I second your thoughts…..!!!!
brilliantbrilliantbrilliant!
I have been seeing and hearing a lot of buzz and humm and crackle about burn around new york… almost every photographer I talk to knows about it, and if they don’t they certainly do after they meet me.
i look at burn just about every day. I sometimes check it before my e-mail. I’m addicted to the rush of burn, and you keep making it sweeter david. You have me for whatever you need in the city!
Don’t forget to keep me in mind on your next burn meeting in NYC.
“I am an ant,
and we are ants,
some of us fly
most of us walk;
we march in unison
to the beat
of our own
drum-a-dumdums.”
ALL…
I had the pleasure of talking with DAH earlier today about the Burn gallery and he asked me to pass along the following…
a) First of all, it is going to happen…real soon…!
b) At the moment he is swamped with the preparations for Look3 and of course publishing the EPF finalists, so the actual process of selecting which pictures will be included in the first show and all the practical issues that come with putting together an exhibition will start in the middle of June.
c) Those of you who shoot digital could make use of the high end printer that DAH has and save both on shipping (especially so if you’re living outside the States) and on transit time for your prints to get to the gallery. The rest of us who still shoot film will have to send in our silver prints by mail to and address that David will give in time. His personal preference is in tubes but flat shipping is ok too…
d) Since the wall space is somewhat limited (this is not news for those of you who’ve been there) ideas on how to display more than a couple dozen 16×20”s at a time will allow for more people to participate. Also, ideas on promotion… a catalog… online galleries/sells… projections…
Brainstorm…
e) One of the main objectives is to actually sell some prints to help both Burn and the photographers involved so, we are all encouraged to choose a couple of pictures for consideration that we think (or “know” from previous experience) that have the best chance to do just that…sell.
f) On the issue of money—and even though I’m really NOT a wealthy guy… I tried to explain that for me (and possibly for some of you) helping Burn in its first steps and the “cred” of participating in the gallery would be payment enough but David would not have any of it. He is a “what is fair is fair” kind of guy… (by the way, have you ever heard of the gallerist who was offered 100% commission by the artist and said “no, 50-50 is better”???)
Finally a personal note:
I have never attended a workshop of David’s, or even met the man in person, and he still gave me the time of his day… he is the real deal, and this place has the potential to become… well… whatever we collectively set out to make it… support Burn…
Peace…
DAVID B
“Wasted” as the title for your book? YES!!!! Having been to my share of EM scenes, I’d say that pretty well captures the general ambience. And thanks so much for posting the link to your blog entry. I am fascinated by the process you and David are going through. It’s not long now, my friend. You’re in the home stretch…
hugs
Patricia
P.S. Tor is ADORABLE!!!
BURNIANS
We are really on a roll here, and who do we have to thank for that? David Alan Harvey. This man is busting his butt to give us more opportunities than we emerging photographers could ever have imagined possible. I mean, how many of you ever dreamed you might have prints hanging in a NYC gallery? And a gallery that is already the talk of the town before it’s even been totally cleaned up from the previous tenant!
Virtual? Hell, there’s nothing virtual about this community. David has moved the internet from an ether-bound entity into something so real you can pinch it. Speaking of which, I keep pinching myself these days to see if I’m dreaming that I’ve somehow ended up here on Burn, ended up with ten months of my work printed in a Blurb book ready to show a publisher, ended up being mentored by one of today’s iconic photographers, ended up feeling so close to photographers from around the world. I’m sure I’m not the only one who thanks my lucky stars that somehow I found my way first to Road Trips and now to Burn.
So, whatever we can do to help Burn generate even MORE of a buzz, let’s do it! Donate what you can in terms of funds, take an active part in the discussions but think long and hard before posting anything that could be construed as mean-spirited, submit your work for publication, encourage your photographer friends & colleagues to do the same, volunteer your time if at all possible to help get our gallery up and running, and just keep shooting shooting shooting. After all, words and ideas are good, but for a photographer there’s nothing like DOING IT to keep the creative juices flowing.
I am SO grateful to be part of this community. And David, you are THE BEST!!!
love
Patricia
Pat…
i’ll second that
:))))))))))))
THODORIS – thank you for helping get the gallery up and going. i think it is going to be exciting. i already know of a few pieces i want hanging in my house.
BUZZ – yes, there was a buzz at NYPF. I met a guy who NEVER comments on Burn, but does read (occasionally) and donated money the first day. i thought that was very cool.
LOOK3 – i hope many of you will be able to attend this year. it is going to be EXCITING! please let me know if you have any questions about tickets, hotels, etc…. happy to help!!
Perhaps some of you have seen this, but if not, heres More buzz about burn:
http://photojojo.com/content/guides/10-online-photography-magazines/
let the bee alliteration bounce before the burnians… buzzzz
ANTON – i like the “donation” link – instead of “support burn”. the new one is less prominent. just my opinion…
VASILIOS – cool link. thanks for sharing.
I wonder how come we dont have Tanzanian albinos here. Well, I would wonder, but I managed to score a week’s vacation and I am not going to think about this until next Tuesday.
In any case, I had to go to a wake and funeral this past week; one of our former neighbors passed away and I had to represent the family. This was fine with me; funeral homes are pretty fascinating places, all in all, though you might not think so if you worked in one. That’s a pity, really, a case of familiarity breeding contempt, if you will—the sheer economic wonder of the place just eludes you. Here is a commercial enterprise that does a thriving business every year despite the fact that almost all of its potential customers don’t want to have anything to do with it and would just as soon never have to use its services at all. You’d have to work in the public schools to find something equally unpopular, and public education only works because the government requires the kids to show up. Funeral homes just have to wait for the customers to drop in, to the financial discomfort of the life insurance industry, a business that prefers to have people insure themselves against the inevitable, which is profitable, rather than the inevitable actually occurring, which is not.
Unless, of course, you own a funeral home, where the inevitable brings in money hand over fist. When you own your own funeral home, for example, people will come to you and buy big ticket items that wouldn’t dream of buying otherwise and these same customers will take your word about these items and what they will do or not do, as the case may be. If every business in the country could get away with this, the number of lawsuits filed each year in the United States would drop faster than Sister Mary Frances’ jaw at a strip club. The sheer audacity of some of these claims and the fact that anyone can make them with a perfectly straight face is nothing short of positively breathtaking.
For example, if you go to your average American funeral home, someone on staff will be more than happy to sell you a coffin that is absolutely, positively, no two ways about it guaranteed not to leak for five hundred years. Think about that for a second. How do you check that claim? Can you go to your local public library and check the Consumer Reports for May 1506 and take a look at the product rating they gave this particular line of caskets before you go running home to tell your assembled loved ones that your Uncle Harry can now go for half a millennium without worrying about getting his feet wet? Will the manufacturer refund your money if some water manages to get into the thing in 2247? Are all the parts and all the workmanship under warranty for all of that time, or will the guarantee lapse after, say, three hundred years? Then, of course, why would Uncle Harry worry about getting a leaky coffin in the first place, since he has finally arrived at that happy point in his terrestrial existence when he doesn’t really have to worry about whether or not he’s going to catch a cold.
Following the purchase of the coffin, which is expensive enough, considering only one person gets to use the thing, there is the question of where do you put it once you’ve got Uncle Harry in it. This might seem an easy decision to make, but you would be incorrect in your assumption. Whether you like it or not, you can’t bury Uncle Harry out in the back yard next to your dog that got run over when you were six years old. No indeed, Uncle Harry has to go to the cemetery, and to go to the cemetery you must have a plot, and buying a cemetery plot is as full of twists and turns, shifts and bad faith as any other real estate deal.
First, location, location, location; no matter what anyone says about just dump me anywhere, the fact is everyone wants a tomb with a view, even if Uncle Harry won’t be able to see it, what with his watertight coffin in the way. People fight over getting a prime site in the cemetery are willing to shell out big bucks to get what they want, even if they have to sublet to a family of illegal aliens and a troupe of street mimes in order to pay the maintenance charges, and all this for a place too small to hang your hat, assuming Uncle Harry really needs a hat for the next five hundred years. Hats would seem purely optional at this point, I think; it’s really a question of personal preference.
In any case, you will, at the end of this long and drawn out process, be the proud owner of a plot of land too small to qualify as an apartment in Manhattan, and you will own said plot in perpetuity. This statement is a bit of a howler, I think, and is right up there with the coffin not leaking for five hundred years in audacity, because by the time perpetuity comes around to ask you for a loan or whether or not she can go to the senior prom with that way cool Hell’s Angel from Martian Colony #9 you will be in no condition to check out what perpetuity has to say about your owning the land. I imagine old Khufu thought he had a lock on all he surveyed at Giza, courtesy of his building the Great Pyramid, breaking the Pyramid Workers Union, and his casual dismissal of OSHA regulations. No sooner was he dead than every other Pharaoh decided he just had to have a pyramid in the same neighborhood and the damn things kept popping up around old Khufu like geometric mushrooms. Ramses II was another big shot who bought the line about owning his plot forever, and where is he now? It’s just as dead as he is, or maybe even deader, since Ramses has a good civil service job these days as an exhibit in the Cairo Museum. I think there’s a garage over the spot where they buried him the first time, but I could be wrong about that.
It’s not likely that Uncle Harry would get a gig as good as Ramses got, although when you think about it, this is a big comedown for Ramses, steady as the job is. One day you’re the leader of the most powerful nation on earth, and all of sudden it’s three thousand years later and you’re stuck in a glass box with all of your relatives nearby and snot nosed little kids who don’t want to be there in the museum in the first place are staring at you through the glass and going, EEEEWWWWWW, that’s gross! (Or the Arabic equivalent thereof). That probably won’t happen for Uncle Harry. Three thousand years on he’ll be in a museum somewhere, stuffed in a drawer somewhere along with a lot of fifth century American Indians and whatever the archaeologist could find of your grandmother as well. So much for all the money you spent for perpetuity; all you really got for the money was some space in the drawer next to the janitor’s lunch. That’s something to look forward to, isn’t it?
That’s to keep everyone amused until I return. Have a good one, guys.
Akaky, I have always wished, but perhaps never so much as I do now, to simply be fed to the worms.
EPF, LOOK and Gallery … one, two, three … things certainly are on fire.
Hmmm, since the gallery will be a series of weekend events as I understand it … do the prints really have to hang JUST inside the gallery itself during the show? There are two doors, and a big hall, if the neighbors were okay with it. And … not everyone attending will be able to afford to take home a print, so what could they afford as a consolation, what piece of this little historical event could they take with them for a nominal price to help support Burn and the Burn stash? (I mean besides a camera bag … although not a bad idea … the DAH bag auction and gallery opening. I think I’m joking.) Perhaps those were logs for the fire.
A little more buzz was provided by The New York Times’ recently launched photojournalism blog “Lens.” Burn is listed on its blogroll, along with Pete Marovich’s 37th Frame. They’re among good company. The Times linked to Magnum, National Geographic and the Aperture Foundation as well.
Here’s the link: http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/05/15/good-morning/?scp=1&sq=lens&st=cse.
BURN is my ‘HOME’ of photography.
I have never seen any mentors and any places like David Alan Harvey and Burn.
He has devoted all his efforts and times for emerging photographers and photography.
I know that it is very easy to say something but it is very hard to do something.
We all emerging photographers have some dreams of our own.
He is the ONLY man who has made it to come true.
I really really THANKS to David Alan Harvey and Burn as a photographer!
p.s.) Panos, Congratulations on your exhibition!
I really want to see your prints of works. :)))
Hope you to have great success of photography!

MR.HARVEY ,
The trauma center is on aisle 2 ” on the roll” .
Personal appearance neglect, depression, feeling of emptiness, envy, anger…
Please, proceed to the correct aisle…
FOCUS, Focus…damnit
that is your problem…:))
The commissions idea is so on spot and terribly generous at the same time..it is jut right. Dispatches is doing a good thing with this too, but they so far have stuck to the more known names as far as I can see…but commissioning any new quality work is a good idea in my book,,,
VIVA ERICA !!!!
Did you submit? Are we waiting for a book?
P.S how was the coffee with the girls…you know…NY style?
’twas dinner and slideshow with Gina and Kerry, and ’twas grand..thanks for asking..as i said to Kerry (cause I already knew Gina) I wasn’t going to make any kind of effort to make sure we get to know each other fast over the first meet, as I always knew that she is lovely and good and that we are already sisters..
indeed am working on a book dummy, still shooting for it tho..something in making the book helps to see what is needed. I did contribute, i never submit :)
(blush) Erica, sweet!
burn is indeed unique in that friendships develop long before real meetings ever take place, only to grow after they do… AND we get to learn a boatload about photography in the process!
Hope to meet many more of you at Look3!
Now CIV, I am 100% true-blue Aussie, and all this talk of pavlova is making me yearn for a slice…
Pavlova, meat pies w/peas, bbq and beer. The true flavors of Australia.
