friday film

This photo was taken with a 4 lens 35mm camera. As this is my first roll of film from the camera, I had no idea how the photos would turn out as I was taking them. I have learnt that the plastic viewfinder sitting on top of the camera resulted in my framing being off and that the four photos are taken in a U sequence (which is only noticeable in photos capturing movement). Some photos have imperfections which turned out to be quite pretty. Overall, it was lots of fun to experiment with. The next roll will be more planned out, though I'm not sure what to use it for yet..

making the christmas cake

One of our oldest family traditions is baking the Christmas cake together. We do it every year somewhere between September and November..the time is increasingly dependent on when we can get as many of us together as possible! We always play Christmas with Nat and Dean, sing loudly and dance around the kitchen. Then we make wishes and stir the batter for the video camera. I appreciate each year I am able to join my family for this fun tradition and I can't wait to spend Christmas with them all.

taking a trip

In just a few days I will be reunited with my love in Las Vegas. Two and a half years ago I planned a trip to see him as friends. By the time it came around, we were dating. Now I am going to visit him as his wife. I absolutely cannot wait to be together again!

wildlife photographer of the year

Whilst in London recently, I was able to visit the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition at the Natural History Museum. It was amazing to see what people have managed to capture around the world, particularly the younger photographers with a category for those under 10! I found it interesting to look at the different styles and perspectives of each photographer but was most drawn to the simple but slightly comedic shots. All the winning photos are featured on their website, but here are a few of my favourites.

Travelling companions - Douglas Seifert


Freeze frame - Etienne Francey


Sharing a shower - Michael "Nick" Nichols



My sister made a cute video of our short trip..you can find it here.
