Rain. 18th February.

Today's weather has not been the most agreeable! The wind and rain have been quite persistent, meaning that I have not been able to go out and shoot for my project on the industrial side of Britain, instead I have been doing general computer-based work, such as editing and working on my website. 

I have two fashion shoots coming up at the start of next week, these should be good and I'm looking forward to them and working on the photos I will be taking at them. I'm also starting to research for a documentary project which I shall be exhibiting in a few months time, I will give you more information as the project develops, hoping to start shooting for it quite soon though!

Pinecone. 9th January.

Wake up little pinecone
The rain has fallen and the air is fresh
And someday you will be a tree
The tallest tree in the land

Wake up and see for yourself
The soil is rich and the land grows under your feet
But most of all, my little pinecone
Expect great things from yourself

Wake up and see for yourself
See how the universe plays in the branches
While mountain glaciers melt in sun

Shake the snow from your beautiful head
Wake up from your peaceful nap and see
How this is your destiny 

- Richard Fuerst

Christmas Lights. 23rd November.

So... it's almost a month till Christmas! I love Christmas, but I have only started touching on Christmas shopping at the moment, I really need to get my head down and start buying! Anyway.... one of the lovely things about Christmas is the lights, and even though my town has had the same set of lights since I can remember, I sill love them being up, they bring colour and joy to the cold, dark winter nights... and they also hint to the fact that Christmas is definitely on it's way.

I took this photograph and made it all out of focus and bokeh-ified to bring the focus to the lights, when I was little I always used to make my eyes go out of focus so I could see the little round balls of coloured lights on the Christmas tree, or on the street lights as I was in the car... I love the fact that you can make the camera do that, so this photograph is a little bit nostalgic for me!

Coffee. 22nd November.

I apologise, today's photograph is anything but amazing! But is does say a lot about my day, it's been a long day and it's still got a little bit more to go, so now I'm on the coffee.... my amazing Boyfriend bought me this mug for my birthday, and it is actually my best mug, and I am personally quite picky when it comes to mugs!

I don't have much else to say today. I have now finished my short series called "Toys At War", this is where I recreated war photographs using toys, so I'd suggest you keep your eyes open for that.. I'll post it on facebook and flickr when I've uploaded it, I'll probably tweet about it too! 

Night people!
