• Too cool for school

  Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

  Sunglasses, to me, serve more than just the practical purpose of preventing me from being blinded by sunlight (especially whilst driving, hence the tinted yellow as opposed to black). They also act as a defence mechanism, providing me with a barrier between me and the world, the physical helps me step outside the throng and [...]

• Not drunk

  Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

  I bought this red lip gloss a few years back, but I’m STILL not sure whether it suits me…oh well.

• ?!$&#@!!

  Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

  I am *THIS* close to throwing my camera into the pool and giving up taking photos for the rest of my life! WHY can’t I take a decent photo of these damned pumpkin scones?!

• OMG

  Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

  Oh. My. God.
  HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS?!
  Canon have announced the next release in their entry level dSLR range - the EOS 450D (also known as Digital Rebel XSi).
  Some of my favourite new features:

  Bigger CMOS sensor, for cleaner, crisper images
  Large viewfinder
  LIVE VIEW WITH LIVE HISTOGRAM *swoons*
  Highlight Tone Priority3

  Read through the specs and I swear, [...]

• This is what happens when I can’t sleep

  It’s called Extreme Bed Hair.

• Nothing like good friends

  Sunday, February 10th, 2008

  Went to K’s place last night for a girls night in, something that we like to do quite regularly - eat crap food, drink wine and watch movie after movie while talking and laughing amongst each other. Last night was a smallish gathering, just three of us (K, V and myself) but it turned out [...]

• A study in water droplets

  Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

  Still need to work some things out - flash strength, distance to dish, manual focus and how to get a more interesting picture…perhaps hose onto a piece of fruit or vegetable? Nonetheless, fairly happy with my first attempts, though my desk is now covered with tiny little water droplets, thankfully no electrocution or shorting out [...]

• My pathetic attempt at abstract smoke

  Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

  My first attempt at abstract smoke. I obviously need to practice my manual focus, as well as getting some incense sticks as the candle only gives a momentary puff of smoke when I blow the sucker out.
  Still not sleepy, so off I go to play with the camera and water droplets.

• Waiting for the kiss

  Sunday, January 13th, 2008

  “A man had given all other bliss,
  And all his worldly worth for this,
  To waste his whole heart in one kiss
  Upon her perfect lips”
  - “Sir Lancelot and Queen Guinevere”,
  Alfred, Lord Tennyson

• Double Doggy Days

  Monday, January 7th, 2008

  When the world appears to have gone to shit, everything looks better when you hug a furry pal. Even better if you have two.
  Here we see Mr Woofy cuddled up with his new best friend, Bunny the Maltese x Shi Tzu who we’re dogsitting for a month. When she first arrived, she wouldn’t stop barking, [...]
