And I think to myself, what a swan-derful world

Hi, winter's here and I hope you're staying warm and toasty! I'm so pleased to share that I'll be exhibiting in an upcoming group show at MARS Gallery called Polaroid, Polaroid, Polaroid! For the exhibition I'll be showing these three new polaroids I took of the swans at Coburg lake.
