Trying To Buy A Bridesmaid’s Dress – 14 January 1999
14 January 1999, Southland, Melbourne
I took this strip of photos when I was at Southland shopping centre to look for a bridesmaid dress for my sister’s wedding. It was the third or fourth attempt to find something we both liked and yet it was once again unsuccessful.
I don’t much like shopping for clothes at the best of times. I think my attitude to my task is abundantly evident in these pictures.

Admit it: you only go shopping because there’s a photobooth at the mall… 😉
Great, creative strip.

I do admit it. In fact these days I skip the shopping entirely and just get the pictures! (And thanks for the compliment!)

Love this. I can’t help but think of Nadar’s revolving self-portrait!

I hope you put on a more cheerful face at your sister’s wedding! I hate shopping, and malls, as well.

I was only cheerful cos she married a superb guy but was sad she left to live in Ireland a few months later.
