absent

hello. I've been absent from here for such a long time. why? I'm not really sure. I look at my blog every day - it's my home page after all - and think I must write something or post a few pictures, but don't. is it the lure of instagram and Facebook which are so immediate and a quick fix? ...maybe. will my blog continue? at this point in time I can't really answer that. I waiver from yes it must go on, to no it's had it's day, time to move on.....

for now I'm still here but there's so much to do and fit in to every day. and that's a good thing. lots of creativity, lots of inspiration, lots of fun. good things. 

I'm feeling so inspired by photography at the moment. it's a passion I've always had. my new camera and gear are steering me in new directions. there's so much to explore and it's so much fun.

here's a few shots from recent days. straight out of the camera. no adjustments or filters. macro lens....love, love.

it's nice to be back xx

light fantastic

we have been away tripping the light fantastic....last weekend we spent three days dancing away at Bluesfest. so. much. fun. yet again we discovered some musicians we haven't heard of before and they were amazing. we also got to see some of our favourites from previous years and they were just as fabulous again. 

let me give you a little tip....if you haven't heard of Trombone Shorty you should look him up. he is a young New Orleans musician who has a big future ahead of him. we saw him last year and were blown away by his music. you can imagine we were very excited when we heard he was coming back this year. his performances are energetic and full of great music {....and he's a little bit cute to look at too!}

whilst at Bluesfest we saw lots of kids and adults playing with balls at night that changed colour. very pretty. so I had to buy some and a couple of nights ago we had a little play with them and the 7D. still have some tweaking to do with exposures, apertures etc but it was lots of fun.

what do you think?
