Lucie Martinez

Lucie is a third year Journalism student, on exchange from Tours, France. Back home, she works at a several Journalism and News outlets such as ‘Ouest-France Rennes‘, where she’s built up a reputation for herself. To top that off, she speaks four languages; English, French, Spanish and Italian!

I met Lucie in my photography classes at uni, where her French accent intrigued me to the point where I just had to talk to her (because who doesn’t love a French accent?).  From the little time i’ve known her, I can tell you she loves being in front of the camera just as much as being behind it.

Blair Arnold

Blair Arnold is a second year journalism student, who’s just as passionate about his coffee as he his with his writing. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Blair for almost a year now, and in that time, we managed to go for a holiday in the Gold Coast with some other friends, where I managed to take this portrait, about 30 floors from the ground.

It shows Blair for who he is, a glass wearing coffee lover with a fresh hair-cut.

University Life: Free Parking

A struggle that every UOW student knows and feels. Parking. Parking on campus costs you an arm and a leg, and so most people opt for the free parking off the campus, even if it means walking a thousand miles. Well for those that aren’t aware, UOW have a section of parking dedicated to those that carpool with three or more people, and it’s beautiful.

It’s almost a tradition to drive around/close to the campus, looking for people walking by themselves, and asking them to hop in your car. The first few times make you feel like a pedophile, but after that awkward hump, it’s pretty easy, especially as it saves you a heap of money!

It’s something that’s almost inevitable for every UOW student to do at least once, so keep up the tradition!

University Life: The Uni Bar

I think everyone can agree, that one of the best parts about University life is the on-campus bar. Studying and drinking at the same time? What can go wrong? Last year for me anyway, one of the best days of uni were those spent after class at the uni bar with my mates. A good $11 jug of beer and a chip roll is pretty much all you need.

It’s a beautiful place to be, not just because of the people, but the sun sets just behind the trees outside the uni bar, and makes for some killer golden sun rays. There is always good music on, live or on radio, so check it out if you get the chance!
