I return! The wedding season is slowing down and I crave to express myself... Shooting over 30 weddings was an amazing experience but certainly prevented me from doing any personal projects. I am starting a 52 week project focused on self-portraits and any random things that inspire me. My style has changed so much. My life has changed so much... I can't wait for 2015. So many plans, trips, thoughts, feelings that need to be put into a visual story somehow! Here I go.
How:
Natural light, 50mm 1.4, remote control. Lightroom. After editing around 1000 images for each wedding I have to admit I am a Lightroom lover! Photoshop can do great things, but Lightroom does the trick for me!
This week has been an incredibly stress for one for our little family and at the end of the week I decided to just focus on what was important. Lu and I gave each other new nail polish colors on our toes. Despite a weird week and pale unmanicured feet, Lu was absolutely thrilled when I told her not only could she pick out my colors, but she could paint mine all on her own <3 Focus on whats important and nothing else will matter.
My entry to Moda Bake Shop Sliced Contest (Auditions).
This version of my week planner is designed for two family members (each member has its own row) - half of charm pack is needed to make it (for colorful parts) plus fabric for white sashing, fabrics for back and binding.
In version for four family members one charm pack is needed (for colorful parts) plus fabric for white sashing, fabrics for backing and binding.
It can be also used at the office.
Corners of each square are pockets to put there cards with plan for each day of the week or another information. These corners were made from 1/4 of charms and they are sewn between the rows.
Buckle is used to indicate day of the week. When the day changes, buckle is moved to another.
Depending on weight of the buckle (mine is quite heavy) buttons for secure the strip are needed.
Machine quilted (cotton batting was used) and machine bound.

Thought I would experiment with my new wireless flash trigger. So made a little studio in base of shower with white background, camera on tripod and experimenting with different exposures and flash settings. Used a shot glass to throw liquid in the air and see what I caught.
This is a composite obviously of ones I got in focus which also had interesting patterns.
Theme of The Week - Mobile Phone Photography
This bush just started growing in the middle of my backyard. I mowed it over about 6 times but it kept coming back, so I moved it to the edge. Now, after about 5 years, it is about 15 feet tall and it is the first time it has ever bloomed.
So the past 2 week have gone a little sideways on the exercise regime.
I overdid it and aggravated an old injury. And I had a house guest.
I know. Excuses.
I need to get back on track, but I also need time for people in my life and can't be constantly aggravating old injuries.
So the new plan is to shoot for 4 days of exercise a week with a field of error of +/- 1.
Wish me luck!

This time the change of seasons is more visible in my pictures.
Spring and summer are in the first row and autumn and winter in the second row.
No snow again in winter but at least it was frosty.
This clown face makes me laugh all the time, along with her crazy antics!! Laughter truly is good for the soul!
Snowblind
Spring is on it's way , the warmth of the sun is welcoming but the way it reflects on the snow is somewhat blinding. We have a lot of melting to do yet but there is a light at the end of the tunnel!
OMG. That means I cracked the "one month to go" barrier. I have to start measuring it in weeks.
For fun: compare and contrast with the last time I wore this shirt (at 21 weeks!) for picture day!

I return to Oxford Street for my entry for the panning shot. I like the colours and the view. Even though these bicycles do not travel so fast, the light is tricky when photographing at night.
The whole point in joining a 52 week group that gives weekly themes is to help me think outside of the box a little. This weeks theme, fashion. UGH!
Fashion, what is it? Hell if I know. I will be the first to tell you that I have NO fashion sense, however...I am a believer in accessories and I think I've got a few good ones in my bag of tricks!
Week 33 was spent in Queensland, lazing about by the pool, at the beach and in our lovely hotel room.
Don't you just love crisp, white hotel sheets? I do think the pillows were made with love.

Week 11 - 17-24 March
Weekend of the Australian Grand Prix approaches, so before my posts get filled with cars, speed and the occasional girls, here's a buggy jumping! More next week.
Whoot! Made it to the half way mark :)
Baby peanut is growing fast 10 1/2 ounces and 10 inches long.
The halfway mark yay I only wish I was feeling better. The past two weeks I have been consistently getting headaches and have been having serious pain on my back and hips. I remember going through this pain with my son at 30 weeks so having to deal with it so early is not fun.
Can't wait to till I can finally start feeling normal and actually have some energy :/
Hope you all had a fun Halloween!
Troy made such a cute skeleton :)
Milo has taken the news that he will not be participating in the 52 Weeks For Dogs group hard. I am sure in a few days he will understand that the 1 dog rule is really for the best . I have had a difficult time keeping up with the group with 2 dogs so I have decided to continue in 2010 with Oscar who is a big ham and loves to have his picture taken.
“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke
