Yet to be defined

“Not all those who wander are lost” is a quote by J. R. R. Tolkien, that if I’d not researched otherwise, I could believe came out of the mouth of this month’s interviewee,
otherwise photographer and blogger, Laura Allard-Fleischl. An explorer would seem a cliché or possibly cringe definition of a girl who enjoys wandering in the dark, and
savouring simple pleasures. Why? Because the word explorer is overused, overplayed on characters often unworthy. And Laura’s ideas, her photography, and her honesty,
are definitely not. She produces innovative and thought-provoking shots, and finds inspiration through and throughout road trips and gigs
(to name a few). I hope you enjoy Laura’s answers to an interview for Currently Loving as much as I did.

I just had too much time on my hands one school holiday, and creating Pony Hunter was something to do.

I don’t really read many blogs – CookSuck is good – I mainly just stalk other photographers portfolios when I’m online.

It’s mine. Haha, I’m not sure, I try to put an emphasis on image quality, as I’m a photographer,

 so that’s much more important to me than actually blogging or whatever.

I’ve made some good connections through it that have helped with my photography career.

If it wasn’t for that, I don’t think I’d keep the blog.

Not taking it too seriously. (Laura, I couldn’t agree more.)

Everywhere and everything!

Oh man, I have no idea, everyone I’ve ever met in my entire life has inspired me in one way or another, I couldn’t possibly pick one!

Yeah, I actually have a few editorial projects I’m currently in varying stages of working on right now,

and a campaign – you’ll have to keep an eye out, haha.

 Photography is just what I love, I can’t explain why because I don’t even know, it’s just something

 that’s always an adventure for me and I can’t see myself getting sick of.

That changes from day to day, usually a combination of things lying around that I’ve been too lazy to put away.

I’m not even sure I know what’s a ‘trend’ right now, it changes so frequently so I don’t see

the point in keeping up with that. I just buy stuff I like and can afford, then wear it when I want to.

Not very organized.

Catching gigs with my friends, checking out local exhibitions, making mulled wine, exploring.. whenever I have a free day,

 I just walk for hours and hours until it gets dark or I’m properly lost, then catch a bus home.

Again, there are too many to narrow it down. I road-tripped through America with my boyfriend early last year though

and that was sick, going from snowy peaks at Yosemite national park to 100F in the middle of death valley

in the space of a day, absolutely insane. And blasting Johnny Cash and Entrance out the window

while driving through Nevada backcountry.

All my friends, because they’d tell me it was awesome even if it sucked.
