I am on a journey. a journey to truthfully discover who I have become over the last few years.
The starting point, I believe, is to figure out what I like. I have decided to express my journey through photography, which is something I like.
This will be a growing project, something that will be worked on for as long as it takes.
This was inspired by a conversation.
This Paratiisi (Paradise) range is a much loved classic of Arabia. It reminds me of my childhood even though we didn't have it. I would love to have at least one mug!
I took this photo the other day when I was secretly snapping while shopping.
"Inside a store" Fun Scavenger Hunt #72
I use this coarse linen towel as a cloth (as in the picture) or to put my washing on to dry (it's perfect for this as it dries really quickly). Available at manos webshop.
My photos on abandoned houses are featured, together with an interview, in Shots Magazine no. 118, which is out now. You can order a copy of this excellent photography magazine on their site.

I was tagged by Siréliss for "Things I Like".
Have a great weekend, I hope you are surrounded by things you like ♥
I wrote love instead of like..= =
anyway, this is the list, I've been tagged a few times for this :))
The most important stuff that I actually really liked is the outside ones, the insides are fillers..still like them but more specific of what I wrote on the outside XD
If you've been tagged, there is no need to do this if you don't want to :))
I have uploaded 3 photos in the past week wow highest ever I believe haha. But more quantity = less quality :/ My stream is so boring now~
this is what happens when they dry out- the seeds are like birds in a cage- they are the neatest thing!
Thanks for the tag
:)
This was fun to do :) I used my calligraphy pen to do this! I had a hard time getting a good photo though! lol oh and i also put a lot in this :D
Things I like - Herbal tea and butter cookies.

I bought this tea cup in Zara Home and I love it. And I just can't resist butter cookies!
It is probably not proper Tea Time but the sun was perfect just then.

Greenwich National Park, Prince Edward Island
People ask occasionally why I use black and white so much. At first it was simply because I was developing my own film and colour was never really my focus in photography. I think I see things in monotones... but, sometimes there is nothing like a little colour.
i love storms when i'm cuddled up inside looking out.
i love storms when i'm outside where i can feel the power of nature.

i'm not having a particularly good day, in fact, i would even say i'm having a rather bad one, was basically saying all the wrong things at all the wrong times just because i was frustrated and worn out i let others have it. not good. now i'm sitting here, hating myself for it, which i shouldn't because i'm giving myself the same sh* i've been giving others all day now. i should just go to bed and rely on the fact that tomorrow i can be a good girl again :)
Kodak Tmax 400 in Diafine. Tests I am getting ready to print. Comments would be greatly appreciated. This will be the first exhibition I take part in and I'm nervous... :)
My little wooden Buddha has the best spot in the house, in terms of keeping an eye on me. He rests right above my TV, facing the couch, in the living room.
And it's a good thing, too, because I trust his insight.
Or my insight, as it were. Because my little wooden Buddha reminds me to develop that insight through an on-again, off-again meditation practice I've tried to keep up with since 2006.
When I am practicing, I find it helpful. I can relax, concentrate, and unspool the tangled wires in my mind. But finding the time, as with anything, is hard. And even when I think I'm starting the habit again, it doesn't take long for me to fall out of practice.
I often share the National Geographic story that helped me tinker with meditation as a way of life. I figured, if a Buddhist monk was, on paper, the happiest person alive because of meditation, surely it's worth a try.
There's also something about a philosophy/religion that tackles attachment and confronts desires that appealed to me. It still does.
So my little wooden Buddha sits up there, eyes closed, palm in palm, waiting for me to sit my butt on a cushion and close my eyes for 10, 15, or 20 minutes. And breathe.
I picked him up in a little gift shop on State St. in Madison, Wisconsin, in 2005 -- when the idea of some sort of meditation practiced first took hold. Now, all these years later, he's still sitting there calmly, waiting for me to begin again.

I also study Psychology and find that it aids my artwork well. For example, my current art theme is 'Nightmares' and studying Freud's Psychodynamic approach combines with the surrealist movement and the study of dreams extremely well, providing a holistic score of knowledge.
I made this design in Photoshop and it details the five main approaches in Psychology along with some influential Psychologists.
At heart, I've always been a photographer. I was the one snapping pictures on family trips, at fraternity parties in college, and on cross-country vacations.
But besides some disposable Kodak film cameras (remember those?), it's always been digital.
As I got more into photography, the more I toyed with the idea of playing with a film camera. There was a local camera shop in town that still processed film. Film is still relatively cheap. All I needed was a camera.
Then, last summer, we were cleaning out the attic at work when one of my co-workers stumbled on his old Pentax K1000 -- the camera our communications department used before we switched to digital.
He was nice enough to offer it to me.
So I gained a whole new side hobby: film speeds, new lenses, not-quite-automatic exposure controls. Pretty cool.
I definitely use the Pentax differently. The shots are a bit more thoughtful, more composed, and (I'll just say it) more artsy. With film, there's only one shot to get it right. So maybe it's a bit more my methodical speed.
It did take me three wasted rolls of film before I learned how to load the thing probably, though. So there's that.
But the first developed roll turned out just fine. I stuck to fairly boring landscape shots, but I'm getting the hang of it.
