Taking Life With Some Ups and Downs
1 year has flown by, it’s so strange to imagine life any differently now though. So much has changed for us all and honestly, I don’t know where time has gone, but I know I wouldn’t change anything.

This Christmas was always going to be a weird one. It was certainly a different experience for everyone. Granted, I’ve never particularly liked Christmas, the build up and hype just never ever lives up to expectations, call me a scrooge all you like, I’m glad when it’s over. Saying that, I enjoyed my day. I mean, there was food, family and beer…just not all the family I would have liked. This year, for the first real time, I’ve tried to make an extra push on social media for my photography and sales. I think it’s pretty obvious in reality, I…
It’s been some time since I last checked in here. Again. So many times I’ve thought about writing, thought about editing, thought about advertising and yet so many times I’ve then talked, or rather, thought myself out of it again. A warning in advance, this may be a long post. This whole coronavirus lockdown madness is something most of us have never ever witnessed before, and hopefully never will again. When lockdown started I’m sure everyone went into it with a plan. Get fit, read more, be creative, finish that game that was put on hold ages ago. I know…
It’s funny what pops into your head when you’re doing something completely unrelated. Here I am playing, or at least trying to play, Horizon on the PS4 and yet again my mind is going at a million miles an hour. Really finding it difficult to concentrate again. It’s impossible. I keep thinking about other things I should be, or want to be doing; sorting the cameras out, charging batteries, posting Zoo pictures, playing a different game, reading, shopping. I can’t ever just settle on one thing to do. My brain always has to try and pre plan every little detail…
I’m back from our trip to Orlando. We arrived back mid November so since then I’ve been working and attempting to edit the few photos I took on my camera. By few I obviously mean over 200… I seriously over estimated the need for a DSLR though. I took both the Canon and the Sony, I didn’t even put the battery into the Sony, it remained in the safe for the duration of the holiday. The vast majority of the (literally) 1000s of photos where taken using my now old phone. Who knew. The ones below are from Hollywood Studios…
For the past week or so I’ve been working on a new editing style. For years I’ve had a certain look and image in my head but never been able to recreate it. After much research and trial and error attempts I came across two looks I really like. “Light and Airy” and “Orange and Teal”. Two looks that are extremely popular right now. I’ve realised these two edit styles are pretty close to what I’ve been imagining for all these years without actually knowing it. So far I’ve created a total of 5/6 different edit styles but above are…
I know! 3 posts in just as many days, madness! Anyway, just a brief post to say that I’ve got a lot of things planned out.
5 months into 2019 and so far it’s been a weird one. I’ve lost my way countless times and gone into dark places but also there have been several glimpses of light too.
A lot has changed in 17 years but not a day goes by I don’t think about you Mum and how much I miss you. There are so many things I want to share with you, but can’t. So many things I’ll never get to experience.
It felt good getting out with the Canon again on Sunday. I’ve been concentrating on the Sony a lot recently I had started to forget my buttons for my other baby. Yes, my cameras are my babies.
