Way back in July I buried my head in a sand of despair of photography and it’s taken me months to pull it out. I learned through this whole self indulgent episode that I was bitten by the photography bug because it pleased me and was not about pleasing others. Following prescribed assignments that asked me [...]
I can’t resist photographing bassets on the run. You never quite tell how their wrinkles are going to take a handsome basset into a contorted monster look. Fortnum likes nothing better than running full pelt down hill – see how aerodynamic he can be. I’ve uploaded the photographs from the March 2012 basset calendar into [...]
Every time I look at this photograph I roll my eyes and tut to myself. If only I’d been a little quicker, more focused, yes if only……. It’s the perfectionist in me. It was frustration with not getting it “right” in my photography course that made me fall out of love with photography for a [...]
For the last six months I’ve been stuck in a photographic rut with no serious photography projects underway. Although I still carry my camera and take photographs for the blog the passion, drive and inspiration got lost along the way. A cloud seemed to descend on me and I’ve had my head in the clouds [...]
We’ve been living through a patch of weather that’s given us dreary days which has put my photographic inspiration in a deep dark cloud. But yesterday the clouds finally parted and it was fun to get back in harness whilst out walking the dogs. Although the bush is still ravaged by the storms the forest [...]
Our veranda is ablaze with Spring colour which gives an uplifting note to the otherwise large green landscape surrounding the house. The more I look at the cheery blooms the more intrigued I am by the shapes, sizes and textures of tulips which serve to boost their beauty. It’s too late for this year but [...]
I know, the blog has changed again. It’s hard to stop myself sometimes. This time it’s just a spring clean and software upgrade. The previous home page was just too labour intensive to keep updating the photography gallery regularly so I’ve reverted to an automatic rotation of most recent posts instead. I’ve added a new [...]
A bit like a repetitive dream that has the same ending, I have multiple conversations with friends and colleagues about why I blog and tweet. For people who don’t blog or read blogs they just don’t get the whole online community thing. I’ve “met” some truly inspiring people on-line and from time to time have [...]
I can’t help but keep looking at the photographs of the snow to remind myself that we were indeed bathed in white stuff. It was a moment of excitement that’s now replaced with an feeling of being overwhelmed by runaway grass and bolting weeds as the sun is warming things up and signs of Spring [...]
Cameras are a bit of a bone of contention in our household since I became more seriously interested in photography. Nevertheless I needed models for one of my assignments on Environmental Portraits with a deadline looming. I visualised a portrait of “Man and His Dogs” but Little Basset was determined to ruin that possibility! Dispensing [...]
