Day 11 - Quote

Hooray - it's friday as I write this post - even though we are heading towards spring and it's finally daylight when I leave the house, I'm still struggling to get out of bed each morning.  It used to take me about 20 minutes to get ready in the morning, now it seems I'm in the shower for at least 20 minutes and then procrastinate about getting ready - this morning it took me nearly 45 minutes to get out of the house!  So onto yesterday's topic - I was struggling today, wasn't inspired at work and then went shopping hoping to find some new clothes that I can't really afford but to no avail (good for the bank balance though!), I had thought if I bought something new and pretty I could photograph that but oh well.  I did think about setting up a shoot around the house but again was un-inspired. 

As mentioned previously we had a friends 21st last weekend and I have been waiting patiently for her present to arrive from the states, it is a beautiful quote that I bought online from Etsy (my fav online shop EVA!!!), it finally arrived this week and I got the most gorgeous frame for it so as I had to take a photo anyway so I could show my Bestie Tina my awesome present buying, I decided that this can be my shot of the day.  The reflection is a bit crap but I did play around with the frame in different settings and with different lights on and off and this was the best shot.

Still don't have a photo for today but am going to another 18th tonight so I'm sure I'll be able to snap a few friends out and about.

Hope you all have a brilliant weekend

Day 9 - 9th August 11 - PINK!!!!

Today I'm working in Gosford which is a nice change, got to sleep in this mornign which was a treat.  I am in a totally enclosed office today and in meetings all afternoon so will have to find something to capture on my way home or from around the house tonight. All afternoon, I was thinking I will photograph my dinner tonight, my weekly dinners generally consist of buying whatever meat is on sale then cooking for at least 4-5 meals, it's not that I don't enjoy cooking, I love it but I HATE washing up, plus I don't get home til late quite a few evenings a weeks so it is good to have something that I can heat up rather than just eating cheese on toast.

I took some photo's of the cooked lasagna and then the slice on my plate but they totally sucked.  It just looked like a cheesy mess - guess I don't have a future as a food photographer.  So onto Plan B - as I mentioned yesterday my azalea tree is flowering so I picked a few blooms, popped them into a vintage glass and took some shots of them and viola they look awesome, this shot is labelled pink as that is one of my favourite colours (can't you tell) and it just pop's so much in this photo, I couldn't label it anything else.
