One of my most favourite things to do on a day off is to wander around an art gallery. I love the atmosphere, the quiet, the focus and calmness which can be found in a gallery. I often leave with my brain on over drive wanting to get creative with my camera as soon as possible however my every day work must take priority so I tend not to allow myself the time or the space to express my more quirky ideas. I have decided this should change and right now I am working on a new site to display some of this work but in the meantime until it is complete I will post some things here….

All this week I have been made busy taking pictures for other people. Today I had a day off and it was so nice to take a wander over the fields near where I live and take pictures of one of my favourite things…nature. I only took one lens as I find sometimes it is best to limit myself to just using one, it restricts me but this can be a good thing. It makes me really think about the lens and using it to the max. I love my 100mm, it’s one of my best. I make myself stop mid walk and just look, look until I see what is there right in front of me.

Colchester Academy held their Prom at The Weston Homes Stadium in Colchester on Friday. The young people made quite an entrance when they arrived in all sorts ranging from an armoured covered Army Tank looking thing to big old American Chevrolet’s.

Owning an Android phone I have recently found various camera apps which are just so fun to play around with. One of my favourites is FXcam. Having owned a very old Nokia for years, the change over has been quite a dramatic one for me. It’s not always practical to have a camera swinging around your neck, this app is fun and so easy to use. I really love how it gives a Lomo look, to see other Android apps check this out http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/03/15/37-best-and-3-wtf-new-android-apps-games-and-live-wallpapers-from-last-week-3911-31511/

I am out most days doing wacky school photography, today I have a very husky voice reminds me a bit of Cathy Beale (Eastenders ). Too much shouting at the children in a good way of course, in order to get their attention you have to make a lot of noise and pull some weird ole faces.

If you are trying to get hold of me, please don’t be put off by my answer machine. I will pick up your call and get back to you as soon as I can…promise.

loving the top Cathy.
