Mood Swings

 Several weeks ago I started making a drawing every morning on my iPhone because it cheers me up. I start very blue and end up being colourful and happy.

In to the Garden

 Finding it hard to Blog at the moment as don't seem to have anything exciting to tell.  Physio is the  highlight of the week!
Had a morning in the garden photoing the daffodils. Folders of pictures that aren't any use  -but its a start to be using a camera again.  Had to read the camera manual its so long since I used it!

When he came to Hoylake to do a workshop Paul Gallagher said you can be anywhere and just take photos without even moving from one spot. It's good discipline apparently. I go with that theory but I'd still rather be up there with those wild ponies in Conway - - only a predicted 11 months and will be there!

Phone Pictures on Mac Gallery

Havent been able to photograph out there for a while now and have actually run out of viable photographs to work on so the new direction of using the iPhone  camera just around and about where ever I go has become quite exciting.

I'm very privileged as well to be a member of dot mac or should I say mobileme and it is so easy to send the phone pics up there to the web gallery and now I could share them - yes, I will send the link here!

The pictures show the mundane everyday things  - just my life at the moment in time. Pic of poor little birds in a cage at the garden centre - -

Hipstamatic

Found a new lease of life - Im now using my iPhone to take photos. I'm still not getting out and about to photograph but somehow the pressure to take "good photos" is off and this is a lot of fun. Here's a quick grab from the prom at West Kirby.

Big Camera - Wet Day

Just got an infra red photo from Jonathan Hillhouse that he took of me at Flaybrick Cemetery a couple of weeks ago. He said it would be a good thing to do - IR makes the skin look white, the lips look yellow and you look like a zombie - sounds good - so - - - It was pouring with rain and very cold  - Jonathan was using an ancient plate camera and as he was only taking ONE photograph it was ultra important to get it right. The rain was coming down so hard,  I was soaking wet and Jonathan was taking for ever setting up the camera  and saying "Keep still!" I never laughed so much in ages! Brilliant day and am using the resulting pic as my avatar.
