I do a lot of things in my day job, but photography has always been the best part of what I do. One of our clients in particular is a huge part of my photography life, and every year we choose a shortlist of my best non-work related shots of the year to print and…

Today I wanted to preview a new design that I’ll be offering at the Etsy sale starting this Sunday–wearable photography. These pieces are created using my own photographs (I’ve been showing off the autumn-themed pieces but there will be other options) printed to transparent acrylics and then baked directly into handmade polymer bases. After the…

Ok, last photos of Italy, promise! I know it’s supposed to be the Friday Shiny – and I’ve got some adorable pieces to show off, but first I must share my absolutely favourite part of the Amalfi coast. Not much to say, just tons of pics. A little town nestled into the mountainside. Colour galore.…

The island of Capri lies just off the Amalfi Coast, about an hour long ferry ride from Amalfi itself. The ferry ride is gorgeous, passing the town of Positano on the way in. Positano was so lovely, that I decided then and there to spend my last day exploring it, but that’s for another post…

Amalfi has been on my list for a very long time, so this time when I went to Italy I knew I had to make it down there. My first revelation was that ‘Amalfi Coast’ referred to a number of communities along a rocky shoreline of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Amalfi itself is a medium sized…

The Fuljifilm x100s is not a camera I would have chosen for myself, despite its gorgeous design, simply because it’s an all-digital that costs twice as much as a beginner DSLR. However, now that I’ve test-driven one in Italy I’ve got to say that I’m in love. The camera has got some weight to it;…

It’s been a week, and I’ve been sitting on about 70 gigs of photography from Italy – yesterday morning I finally made some headway. I’ve been to Italy before and it’s always a new adventure – being immersed in so much history, art, and the best food on the planet. Seriously, all I do in…

I told myself I would write a weeks worth of blog posts and set it to run in my absence, but you know how that goes. Then I told myself I could break from the blog too, and that I wouldn’t even think of it until I got home. That didn’t work either. So here…

This is the Fujifilm X100s. It’s a beautifully designed, all-digital camera that looks just like my first camera – an old Minolta SLR. I’ve had it for only a day, and it’s totally transformed my idea of what a point-and-shoot digital camera is capable of. RAW capability, fantastic high ISO noise management, all kinds of…

I’ve finally booked a vacation, just me and my camera and some knitting. Yes, not even resin shall accompany me on this on. Maybe a few books. I’m leaving for Italy on Thursday, this time for the Amalfi Coast. Here are some of my favourites, in no particular order, of the last time I visited…
