Hello!
My friend Yoshimi and I have a new venture; photo maisonette, a daily visual diary of our two different lives in our two different worlds in Japan and Australia. The new blog is inspired by the wonderful site 3191 Miles Apart, a site which has changed a lot since it started, but initially was a wordless site where two friends regularly posted side by side pictures from their two different lives. I loved the idea! and our blog will be along those same lines… a photo a day, from our two individual perspectives. We are not collaborating on the ideas for our photos beforehand, nor will we be writing any explanation behind them; but hope that our pictures themselves tell their own complete story and illustrate what our lives are about.
Yoshimi cleverly suggested the name for the blog “photo maisonette” which I think beautifully captures the idea … of course in English a “maisonette” is a small house with one flat on each of two floors, two individual occupants occupying each floor. So there is an upstairs person, and a downstairs person. Similarly, our “photo maisonette” will have two stories; the upper story belongs to Yoshimi, and the ground floor is mine.
We hope you enjoy visiting our new blog.
What a great idee. I'm sure I'll enjoy it. your first photos a promising.
Have a nice day

How cool is that. Popped by but couldn't leave a comment? Lovely pics.
Thanks BeaJay! It is going to be just a purely visual blog 🙂
I even figured out how to add it to bloglovin 🙂
What a beautiful new and fresh idea! Looking forward to viewing your photo maisonette blog!
I love the idea and I´m looking forward to seeing all your great photos!
How clever! "Photo Maisonette" is just the right name for this. I am curious to know how you two met, and what your connection is…J
Thank you Judith! We "met" through our shared love of sewing and blogging, and we met in real life two years ago. I wrote about it here
Lovely idea!
This is a beautiful idea and the photos are very special.
Thank you both for sharing your worlds together.
What fun!
I'll be popping over there right now. Two of my favourites – how could I resist.
I have signed up to your new blog! One of the aspects of this blog that I adore is peeps into a country I can only dream of. So I can't wait to see what you post along with Yoshimi!
What an awesome idea. I love getting an insight into other peoples lives. [Yeah I know I'm a sticky beak – so hit me] 🙂
Lovely idea. I've been wanting to ask you for ages about where you take your pictures. I wondered if you see an interesting setting and then plan your clothes and picture around it sometimes, if you actually live near the sea, or if you drive out to find a nice setting.
That's An Awesome Idea 🙂 And I For One Will Be Interested To SeeWhat You And The Sweet Yoshimi Will Be sharing With us
brilliant idea
How cool is that!
