Inside and Out

2011-01-18T09:13:00.004Z

Sometimes it's not easy trying to tell a story, with photographs taken at varying points. However, there seems to be a unifying elements of GREEN. That'll have to do. Thanks for all your encouraging comments on my last post, it's really nice to know that you like what my eye sees.

LDN and REDEFINEMENT

2011-01-11T12:54:00.005Z

So, for now, I have sort of decided that my blog will focus mainly on my photography. Purely, because at the moment, this seems to be my main (only) creative output. All subject to change of course, but I feel the need to keep things SIMPLE, right now. I am slowly working towards getting back in the saddle but until then I hope you all find that agreeable?

Now, with no further ado, this is London.

The Tale of 2010

2011-01-02T17:52:00.004Z

You might have noticed a extended absence. Sorry about that. I have half had nothing to say and half been really ill with the flu. I hope your Christmas and New Year were untainted by ill health? I hope to reclaim this space now it is officially the NEW YEAR. We'll just have to see about that.

Of course, I failed to complete my 365, but only just, the last 10 days of 2010 went un-photographed largely. I might have a stab at it again this year. On the upside, I think that I have become a much better photographer, and that's good, right?

So here's my year in 12 photographs. Hard to distil 1000s of photographs into the BEST 12, and I could probably keep redoing it until the end of time. But here they are, 12 of my favourites, January to December. The tale of 2010.

Tell me something about the coming year that you're hopeful or excited about.

Winter Times

2010-12-10T11:19:00.003Z

I'm still not quite back to my usual self. I'm trying not to feel guilty about that and also about not writing my blog or reading yours, or yours, or yours. AIIII! Oh! and Iris turned FOUR! I have been meaning to do a post about that.. ARGH!!

Anyway, here's a little look into the wintery days round here in the last week or so.

Back soon with more. Maybe. Hopefully. Thanks for sticking around, and THANKS so much for ALL the amazing comments on my last post. I am going to get some more postcards and I AM going to put them in the SHOP.

Carte Postales

2010-12-01T12:12:00.003Z

I have had some of my photographs made into postcards by those whizzy people at MOO. I am quite pleased with them.

N.B. Can anyone recommend other places for getting postcards printed? If you do, then please leave me a comment and I will reward you with a postcard. How's that?

Thanks also for your sweet comments on this post. I am finding my way back here slowly, slowly, I really appreciate your kind and thoughtful words. I will endeavour to catch up on my blog readings too.

Searching for Inspiration

2010-11-17T09:50:00.003Z

It's rainy, COLD, dull, windy, dull, rainy, COLD, windy, rainy here. My feet are cold. BBRRRRRRR!

To distract myself, I have been sifting through my work old and new, piecing together ideas and inspiration for the new project that I hinted at previously. Which I will be sharing soon, soon, soon. Being rawther nosy, I like looking at other people's sketch books and workings, do you?

What's the best antidote to grey, grey, windy, rainy, dark days, do you think? I need help!

The TRENDY East London Post

2010-11-12T09:30:00.002Z

On the second day, I walked around East London, through the ubiquitous Hoxton, popping in briefly to be underwhelmed at the White Cube, then round Shoreditch and a bit of Brick Lane. I went into a couple of boutiques, but mostly I just walked and looked in windows and took photographs. Happy times.

Isn't this WONDERFUL?

Oh, what a magnificent squirrel!

So, I'm home now, and back to the natural order of things. I have lots of ideas that I need to quietly unpack in spare moments. I am keen to sneak away again soon, because it felt SO liberating, although it's hard to rid oneself completely of the GUILT. Tell me, what is your favourite thing to do or place to go, all by yourself?

This is London Calling

2010-11-11T08:48:00.003Z

So I had a jolly little jaunt to London on my *own*. London beguiled and didn't disappoint with promises of heady FREEDOM.

I walked and walked and no one asked me to carry them or asked me to take them to the toilet. This felt hugely liberating and quite exciting. When I arrived I walked to the Tate Modern and ambled about looking at ART and excitedly scribbling names down in my notebook to read up on at a later date. I bought loads of postcards! I had afternoon tea in the cafe! I walked by the river! It was marvellous.

I stayed overnight with some friends in Hackney and then in the morning, did more walking around the trendy Shoreditch, Hoxton and Brick Lane. I really enjoyed the act of looking. I have lots of ideas now, which is good because I am working on a new project that I will be hopefully able to share with you SOON.

And on that cliff hanger, here are my sights of London...

Stay tuned for the TRENDY East London post. TBC. Now, I must get some things ready for the SHOP!

Bonfires & Birthdays

2010-11-08T21:45:00.003Z

Hello. Has it been a while? My mind has been elsewhere along with the rest of me. I had a birthday! I turned the grand old age of 36. Which strangely I like the sound of, better than 35. Can't say for sure why.

I also haven't been taking many photographs. Can't say for sure why.

We had a bonfire at the field on Saturday. We also pressed some apples to make juice. But I don't have any photographs of that bit. See what I mean? *Distracted*

I'm having a bit of a solo jolly up to London tomorrow. The plan is to gather some inspiration, you know just looking and walking and thinking. It should be fun. I'll let you know.

So, tell me what does your week hold? All possibilities?
