day something or other - self portrait saturday


bit of a crazy one today but Cardiff's last game I wore their shirt for the first time ever - albeit an older one of daniels and though things looked to go badly at first, they picked up and it ended up in a draw. So im showing my support for the bluebirds today and doing the 'ayatollah'. for those who are not cardiffians this means patting your head over and over. thats all I know!

Day 15 show off sunday



well as I knew it was show off sunday today, last night I left a bit early for picking up Daniel and snapped away in Cardiff bay. I think I got some cool shots in amongst the ones that didnt work so well! I think this is my favourite of the bunch, I love water relfections.

Day 14 self portrait saturday


I love the weekend themes and after a bit of playing in the mirror this was both my and daniel's favourite! He said were I not showing quite so much skin it could be victorian being in sepia and they style of the mirror, hair twisted back.

Hopefully the weekend will be quite chilled. Had a lovely evening last night with aunty and uncle, drinking wine (though not me - designated driver!) and looking at New York photos and just chatting.

I know I havent updated everyday, just when I feel Ican fit the theme or when i have time/inspiration!

Day 12 thoughtful


if i had known this word was coming up I might have used the photo i used for 'friend'.

But here is my choice for this word. My brother. He thinks alot about every little detail of what we are doing and where we are going.

things are chugging along, I just really really need a job. No idea how we are going to pay the mortgage this month.

Day 11 - show off sunday



I knew instantly which photo to use - actually I have 2 becasue I can't decide bewteen them!

They were both taken in central park in new york a week ago today.

The first is the best close up I have ever taken and I love it.
This little butterfly was pretty good at letting me photograph it and only fluttered away just as I had finished.

The second, a beautiful view of the boating lake in central park (if I do say so myself) I just love the shot. I am loving photography more and more.

Day 10 - self portrait saturday


As Daniel has the camera at work to show rent fans the footage of us meeting the stars, I will use a photo taken about a month ago before a wedding. I take self portraits all the time but they usually end up looking like silly myspace photos so this is definitely something to work on when i get the camera back!







I love this photo because I fell in love with the dress and though we didnt have much money daniel offered to buy it for me when it got reduced in the sale. I wore it to rent on our anniversary in New York.
This self portrait thing has got me questioning how I see myself. I see myself as a good person I guess, friendly, caring, generous. My issues with myself are purely physical. At least physicalities can be changed in one way or another.
