A new photographic aim for the year...

I wrote an article for Lomography about my 2013 Analogue Resolutions and one of the resolutions was to start to take portraits of people... so I started looking through my photos to see if I had taken any portraits of people before and to my surprise I had a few that I really loved...(granted not that many out of 4,000 photos, but a few is a start)

My Dad on the North Yorkshire Moor Railway, I'm not sure he's seen this and he'll probably hate it, but I really really love it (so there Dad)

This is one of my best friends, we were on a boat on the Norfolk Broads at the time, I looked up and she looked so pretty and happy, I didn't even think, I just took a photo.

My Thomas. He hates having his photo taken and you can see annoyance and amusement in this photo, which is his usual face when he's dealing me coming to think of it :) I'm quite taken with him.

My Mum walking Harry. If you know my Mum then you know that she doesn't really just walk, she strides with purpose, even when she doesn't need too, so here is my Mum striding...

...and my sister doing exactly the same thing :) They're both very determined women!

I'd also completely forgotten that I'd featured some photos of people that I'd met at Lomo Meet-ups on Lomography too. And looking through all these photos, I wasn't as scared of taking portraits as I was when I originally made my resolution list, now I'm excited to get going!

The weekend in phone photos...

 
This weekend was the first of two with my family and I loved every minute of it... and of course I took lots of photos of Harry too :)  I'm counting down the days until this weekend now!
 p.s. This weekend was my little blogs 3rd birthday - time flies when you're having fun.
Thank you so much to everyone who's supported me in the last three years, you have no idea how much it means to me :) x

Bourton on the Water Part 1

For 3 years of my childhood we lived in Oxfordshire and one of my favourite places that I remembered visiting from that time was Bourton-on-the-Water (the website says the Venice of the Cotswolds, I like that description!).

As it was absolutely glorious weather at the weekend, it was understandably busy with tourists and families visiting to paddle in the water so of course we joined in...

Luckily, Bourton was just as cute and lovely as I remembered and we had the best day out!
