MacBook Air. 11th Ocotber.

I have finally stepped into the world of Mac, after owning the odd iPod and iPhone I have been slowing converting to an Apple fangirl! I decided to go for the 11" MacBook Air, my Sony Vaio Laptop is fairly new and has no problem in running everything I need it to, so I didn't need anything to replace it.. instead I wanted something a little bit more portable so that I could take it with me when I work for tethered shooting and to utilise long and boring train journeys by editing photos! I am also intending on travelling a little bit in the future, and this is the perfect lightweight super-portable option. So far (after owning it for 2 days) I am super happy with it's performance, it has a beautiful design and I can not get over how slim it is! 

The Cathedral. 31st December.

This evening I was at Peterborough Cathedral for a new years eve service, it was a great service in a really stunning building. I love Cathedrals and I think that it is amazing how so many people spent years working on a stunning piece of architecture to glorify God, this was before days of electricity and motor engines. 

It is simply stunning.

Rockingham Rapper Dancers. 30th December.

Today was my brother's 21st birthday, he decided to celebrate this by having a party! He is part of a rapper sword dance team (rockingham rapper), this dance style is commonly seen at folk festivals across the uk. He did a couple of dances with the team during the night and I think that the motion of the dance is something which is so hard to capture in just a photograph. 

Eloise. 28th December.

This is Elouise, one of my ferrets! She is such a sweet little animal. Some people seem to think that ferrets are dirty or full of disease, but they really aren't, they're clean and very hygenic! I love having them as pets!

I am visiting the city of Lincoln tomorrow, I have a few photographic projects which I shall work on whilst in Lincoln. It's a great city and has quite an old-fashioned feel to it which I love. It's also quite good for shopping and I have to say that the shops shall tempt me, haha! There are loads of little individual shops and there are a couple which I am going to use for my portrait documentary, The Forgotten Shops. I think Lincoln is a great place to shoot on bits of the documentary as it shows how individual businesses can live next to multi-store businesses.
