Image 1: Your best piece of creative work before coming to this course.

This is a photo of myself conducting at my old schools music festival. We were allowed 3 weeks to have a quarter of the school up and singing, on the Opera House stage, two complex songs as well as one instrumental piece. However, the most stressful or intense part of creating the whole set was the dance us leaders had to do to get the girls to stand up and walk on and off stage, which is not what we expected at all! The lighting was the most interesting in terms of stresses, as we had numerous options and decided to add them all. We came out with a very individual pattern to say the least.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge was completed in 1932, and was built so that the two sides of Sydney could join closer to the city, being a major artery that connects Sydney CBD with the Nother Shore and all traffic north of Sydney. But did you know when the bridge was inaugurated on 19 March 1932, the ceremonial ribbon cutting was supposed to be done by NSW Premier the Hon. Jogn T. Lang. However, Capt. Francis de Groot of the New Guard paramilitary group beat him to it. Capt. de Groot cut the ribbon with his sword, which resulted in his arrest, the ribbon being tied back together, and the ceremonial cutting proceeding without further hitches. 

Image 3: An original photograph of something beautiful.

This is a panoramic photograph of the walkways of the Norwich Cathedral, Norfolk, United Kingdom. Norwich was my home for a year while travelling, and so I visited this place regularly as it was such a beautiful building. I made many memories in this building, but one of the most memorable would be the ANZAC ceremony they held in 2015 there. I was the only young person who attended solo, i.e. not part of a family, and felt proud to go. But the main reasons is resonates in my memory is from the elderly people I met there, who had either been apart of the wars or had had family members, loved ones, or friends who had been apart of the wars. They had so many stories to tell, I literally stayed talking to them and eating ANZAC biscuits for the entirety of the day. It was such and interesting and informative day, with lots of things that reminded me of home, which is why I find this place something beautiful.
