Settling in.

Settling in.

Since moving I’ve been quiet, but I’m taking some time out to settle in. Where I was once at home in the city, bordered by big buildings and noise while everyone went about their Very Important Business around me, I’m now allowing myself to sink into a world that is much slower and kinder. There’s…

If you can’t be nice, Bea Sweet?

I am so sorry about that heading. No I’m not, I couldn’t think of another title! What isn’t awful and groan inducing are these magnificent photos I found by way of Lauren this morning. Bea Sweet is a UK make up artist who is fantastically talented. Sweet also works as a model, and I really…

Detail oriented

I took a bunch of photos at Mt Coot-tha Botanical Gardens the other week and most of the photos I took were of details. You might have noticed, but I am a fan of finely detailed things. I thought I’d post some of these just in case you’re inspired by details in nature too.

Whimsy boxing

You might have noticed lately but my posting is all over the place, and lots of the regular stuff hasn’t been so regular. I haven’t been feeling very well and so today Nick took me out for a change of scenery. Brisbane is lucky to have lots of gorgeous parks, and one of the most…

Go go Hipstamatic

It’s been a busy couple of weeks, so I have found myself recording photographs and moments with my iPhone. I have a Canon IXUS but the iPhone is just so handy, and I always have it with me. I’m still a total Hipstamatic tragic, and I’ve gladly indoctrinated many of my friends too :D The…

My first toy camera

I finally picked up the processed photos from the first roll out of my new Holga! As was expected, not all of them are hits, but I suppose the only way to learn a new camera is to keep using it. The few that worked are quite lovely! First two shots! This was taken in…

The whimsy box of now!

This morning I stumbled across a new iPhone app called Hipstamatic which promised to turn regular iPhone photos into old-timey looking happy snaps from a whimsy-box of yore. I wasn’t disappointed. In fact, I’m starting to think that my new Holga camera has nothing on the Hipstamatic – I still have to go pick up…

I’ve been taking photos

Lately I have been trying to take photos to record all the lovely little details I see. I only have a little point and shoot Canon IXUS, but maybe one day I’ll have a nice DSLR and a sassy lens so I can take lots of bokeh photos! I’ll never lay claim to being a…
