Artwork Photography In Sydney – Mad Chaos: April 11, 1998

Hello, it’s three days since I’ve written.  Lyssa is in the shower.  With her cooperation she is going to do her makeup after that so that I can write in my Diary today.  If I didn’t write in my Diary now then it would have been left until Tuesday.  That’s a long time.

Pick Up New Camera Film

In Chronological order starting with Thursday morning, I jumped out of bed early and started getting dressed for the City.  With a plan written down of what I had to do, I started to walk with my camera in hand. 

Catching the bus, I then walked to the bank and got out my money, which was early for Easter.  With that money I bought a roll of film.  I talked to a guy behind the counter that knew my dad from way back when he used to play chess at the Catholic Club. 

Piano Photography In Burwood

From there I caught a train to Leumeah where I bought two train tickets from an open machine. 

My first trip was to Burwood.  I was on a tight schedule.  I wasn’t sure whether Logan’s Pianos would be open since it was one day to Good Friday.  But walking out of Burwood I gave it a try.  Logan’s Pianos was open.  I was surprised to find all kinds of pianos there, from upright to grand pianos. 

Walking around I waited patiently for 20 minutes to ask permission to take pictures, until finally the manager came out from a long telephone conversation.  I told him of what I wanted to do.  He told me professional photographers wanted to take pictures and didn’t have that much luck.  He gave me some pamphlets with pianos on them and then told me I could take pictures. 

I was surprised that he let me stand up on the stools to take overhead views.  I took around 8 shots using two different films.  Most of the shots were with the flash on but some were without.  Thanking the man, I walked out of the store and headed for the station.

CD Artwork Photography In Sydney

Next stop was meant to be Newtown to visit some Recording Studios but I had no time.  Because of that I headed straight for Sydney. 

Jumping off at Museum Station I headed firstly for the spot that Jewell and I sat down at Hyde Park that day on that big tree and took three pictures of the tree.  I could find that useful for the CD cover. 

After that I walked to a jewelry shop in Centrepoint and took two photos of a Crystal Rose on a white background. 

Visiting Powerhouse Recording Studios

From there I looked for some Recording Studios.  The first studio I walked to was all the way at Darling Harbor.  I had to walk for at least an hour to get there.  At the back of Ultimo was the Powerhouse Recording Studio, as I buzzed my way in.  The Receptionist was nice and showed me the way to the manager of the business.  As I walked in he had his hand just coming out of his pants and part of his shirt up.  You figure it out.

The black, Maori type looking man (like Ralf’s cousin) looked at me stunned.  Then when I told him what I wanted he resentfully took me on a tour to the recording room. 

He described me to the Engineer as “Another one of those ‘idea is in my head’ kind of guys”.

From that I was turned off.  Sweating and asking questions, I soon left when I found it was a shit place.  Even though they had a sound engineer, the brink of the work should be done by me and I had to supply everything.

From there I visited SAE Academy in the hopes of taking pictures of the sound equipment there, but all the rooms were full. 

Visiting Sony Music Studios

Now looking for Sony Music Studios it was an easy find.  Walking in there I found it to be glittery.  The Receptionist called through.  Then she told me that I had to make a booking if I wanted to have a look at the studios.

Visiting JMC Academy

Angry, I started looking for JMC Academy and tried to remember where the address was.  I figured it was all the way near Central Station. 

With only thirty minutes to meet up with Lyssa I started to run.  Getting there in ten minutes I quickly asked if I could take some pictures of the studios.  This curly hair faggot came out.  He kept questioning why I wanted to take the pictures.  Even though I told him they were for personal use he thought I was going to sell them or some secret spy shit so he wouldn’t allow it.  Pissed off, I walked to Central Station with just enough time to meet with Lyssa.

Running Late To Meet With Lyssa

The train was taking ages to arrive and I was going to call Lyssa with five minutes of her workday left but the train came.  Finally, I arrived at St. James and literally ran out of the station to see if I could catch Lyssa. 

It was 4:35pm and if Lyssa didn’t get my message that I left for her work in the morning then she would have left.  Running to her work she wasn’t there.  I figured she was doing the mail and then heading for the train station.

Walking back to the train station I walked to the platform to look for her.  As she wasn’t there, I walked back upstairs to wait for her up there, but realized I walked up the wrong stairs and she could have been walking down the others.  That seems a bit bizarre but that’s what happened with Lyssa and I. 

While I was walking up, Lyssa walked down the stairs.  As the train was coming I ran down to see it leave.  Looking way down the platform I tried to catch a glimpse to see if Lyssa was there, but nothing.  Looking on the train I was waiting to see Lyssa.  I thought I did see her but didn’t take notice.  Later I found that Lyssa was on that train.  I was kicking myself because I waited until 6:00pm before leaving for home.

I thought that Lyssa was buying pants for her and Penelope from Just Jeans so I would wait for her to finish shopping, but it never happened. 

Yoram Helps Me Contact Lyssa

The train ride back home was boring.  I sat next to this dickhead that was just dumb.

Back at Campbelltown Station I had seen Yoram from Gridiron a year ago.  He told me how he was also waiting for his girlfriend.  He gave me his phone card so I could call Lyssa’s house.  As I called I found that Lyssa had left when she did. 

With that information I started heading to Lyssa’s house, even though it was dark and was starting to rain.  Thanking Yoram for the phone card use, I was on my way.  This is when I started to get a cold.  The day before I felt a sore throat. 

Ali Drives Us To My House

At Lyssa’s house her mum was home.  Lyssa was in the shower when I arrived.  Once I walked in the door I realized that Lyssa was supposed to be going out with her friends to the pub for Thursday night.  Then she was sleeping at my house.  I felt stupid for being there.  But when Lyssa got out and got off the phone to Velda she assured me she wasn’t going.  Lyssa felt bad about what happened to me and didn’t even want to go because she had no lift.  So Lyssa got ready for my house, as it was raining outside.

We didn’t know how we were getting to my house, but soon Ali and Penelope turned up for the sole purpose of giving us a lift.  Ali drove but he drove sensibly.  We were dropped off at my house.  I invited them in but they had to go.

Lyssa Sleeps Over

Lyssa and I then had a great night.  I lay her down on the bed and stripped her and I off of all our clothes.  My sole purpose for that night was to make Lyssa happy, and I certainly did that. 

After our little encounter Lyssa and I watched television for a while and ate some jelly.  Then Lyssa went to sleep.

My throat was so sore and my nose was so blocked I couldn’t sleep all night.  I was getting angry as the time reached 4am.  I kept going upstairs for some food and fresh air.  In the whole night I think I got 2 hours of sleep.

Hot Cross Buns On Easter

Lyssa and I then woke up the next morning.  Lyssa wanted to get going to her mum’s house so she could see her off.  As I had a long shower, I started getting dressed and ready as she had her shower.  An hour later we were both ready. 

We walked to the bus stop on Good Friday to wait for a bus.  Luckily, buses were running today as we caught it to Campbelltown station.  From there we caught another bus to Lyssa’s house.

Lyssa’s mum was happy to see her, as we spent most of the day and night at Lyssa’s house.  The first thing we did was all have some hot cross buns for Easter.  The rest of the day we spent talking to Lyssa’s mum or watching television. 

Lyssa’s mum’s best friend came over later that night with a present.  The gift was three rolls of film and a photo album.  Lyssa and I walked to her room to talk.  It was getting dark.  Lyssa had to wait for the guests to go so we could start walking.  It got dark.  At 6:30pm they left. 

Rent George Of The Jungle Movie

Lyssa then told her mum goodbye.  Then I said my two cents worth, as they hugged a couple of times.  Then we left with an umbrella in the rain.

Lyssa was getting cold feet as we walked down to the train station.  Lyssa and I rented “George of the Jungle” from a video shop near Lyssa’s house. We waited a while for our train to arrive. 

In Campbelltown we bought some food from Charcoal Chicken.  Then we sat at the bus stop to wait.  There we sat for over an hour as we went to and from bus stops.  Finally our bus came, as we waited at the station.  We were taken on the bus to my house.

A Sexually Satisfied Night

We were gearing up for a sexual night.  We both weren’t disappointed last night.  First we turned the lights off.  Standing up with each other we started undressing each other.  From there we caressed each other and then lay down to begin what ended up to be great.  Lyssa and I both went off around the same time.  Lyssa surprised me by how into it she was.

After that we both lay on the ground recovering for a while.  Then after cleaning up we put on the movie George Of The Jungle.  The movie was great but Lyssa fell asleep half way through it.  I didn’t go to sleep until an hour later.

Last night I had a better sleep and my cold got better.  Today I’m almost over it, but there is still a slight blocked nose thing going on. 

Lyssa and I have been awake for an hour or two now.  We are planning to go to Campbelltown now to get some photos developed.  Lyssa is doing her makeup in the shower right now.  She wanted to give me some time to write in my Diary.  That’s good, since I won’t get another chance probably until Tuesday.

There’s nothing much more to say except that this whole weekend I’m at Lyssa’s house, just her and I, since her family is on holidays.  So three days with each other alone.  On Monday morning we are going to The Easter Show and probably with Ali and Penelope.
