weekend bits and bobs.

This weekend it was my very very good friend Joce's birthday so we had fun in the park with bubbles, cameras and a frisbee and then on out for a good ol' boogie. :)

Last photo is of  Clare (Left), Myself in the middle and Joce the Birthday Girl.

real inspiration.

I know Tommy Ga Ken Wan through a friend, he's a brilliant professional photographer who is based and lives in Glasgow and he recently did a talk at The Glasgow Art School for a Media Week about being a pro photographer and how he got there. It really inspired me to do more with photography as I would say it's definitely one of my main passion in life and I'd love to do more with it. Tommy gave a lot of excellent photography advice in just 25minutes of his talk such as these wise words he read some where... " The amateur worries about equipment, the professional worries about money but the master worries about light." The video of his talk in 50mins long, it's definitely worth a watch.

just purchased...

I just bought this amazing little camera today that uses no batteries, only sunlight and 35mm film. I found it on one of my favourite blogs, photojojo, a really interesting photography blog, as you may have already guessed and it also has an amazing little store that could make me bankrupt! As advanced as photography is these days with all the amazing digital SLR cameras there are out there and you can edit on photoshop till your head pops off, a lot of people are turning back to basic photography methods such as film, especially polaroids. The effects this camera gets from just feeding from sunlight are quite spectacular and I can't wait till it gets posted through my letterbox and I can get snapping :) 

how cute is this? :)

fotoautomat.

4 photos.
3 minutes.
2 euros.
1 love.

We found one of these amazing fotoautomat machines in an awesome musuem in Paris, Palais de Tokyo and it was as it says the best 2 euros I spent the entire time we were there. This is the good one we took the second time around, the first time, I popped the 2 euros in before my boyfriend Gavin had got into the booth so they are a tad rushed but still nice! :)

good morning.

Made from one of the simplest devices...a label maker :) This is usually the first thing I see when i wake up. Stuck to the side of my bedside table are three simple words that make me smile. They remind me of all the people I love, all the things that make me happy and everything I love about life. If I'm at work and my boyfriend has stayed over and I'm not there when he wakes, he can look and this says I love you when I'm not there to. I've always believed it's the small things in life that are the most important.  

jo jo's got a new toy...

Got myself a little fisheye filter for my Canon 500d. Had lots of fun with it the other night :) well worth the money!
