Joy and Dan by Liesl Pfeffer

Joy and Dan
Sunny’s, Red Hook, NY
October 2013

I have been friends with these two since I was 17, when I was in my first year of university. We met because we were equally obsessed with British bands, and we were equally socially isolated in the suburbs of Brisbane. They had been dating for about a year. Throughout the years since we met we have never gone more than a couple of weeks without emailing or calling or hanging out. Our friendship is the longest relationship of my life. I love them with all my heart. 

Sneaking into hotel pools by Liesl Pfeffer

Old Havana
Havana, Cuba
August 2013

Taken on the hot, humid day we snuck into a fancy hotel to swim in their pool. Moments after we jumped in the water, clouds rolled in and a tropical thunderstorm broke out. We took shelter in the rooftop bar and drank beer and watched the rain wash over Havana. 

Cape Schank by Liesl Pfeffer

Cape Schanck, Victoria
Australia
January 2014

My friends drove us to this beautiful promontory on the south coast of  Victoria. We climbed across black rocks crusted with life. We dared each other to swim in the ice cold rock pools that were constantly refilled with fresh seawater. It felt like what holidays are supposed to feel like. I remembered what I had forgotten. That Australia can be new and surprising, even after living there all my life. That I can forget daily life, easily. That those things I obsess over and which seem to be constantly on my mind, don’t need to be. I wish I could always be the holiday version of my self.
