Benson's Fair

Soooo.....here are the rest of those images I said I was going to upload...over a month ago. I love fairgrounds even though I don't like going on the rides (I don't really enjoy being terrified). Bright lights, garish colours, and fried foods - that's basically the holy trinity as far as both life and photography are concerned for me.

 

A New Year

 Well, hello.

I have got a bit slack lately both with posting and with pursuing all those more creative personal projects. One of my New Year's resolutions is to post at least once a week, and to start sharing some more collage, painting, printing and scan projects (which I dabble in but don't often post here).
So here's my resolution post, there'll be another tomorrow about the recent client work I've shot, and then I will be on the road to fresh new pastures. At least, that's the plan.

Above are images from my Christmas, in Maidenhead, Essex, and Oxford. It was jolly and I'm still sulking it's all over.

Boom, Pow, Etc.

Oh this post is so late. Whoops. There's me committing the cardinal blogging sin of Not Being Timely With Your Posts. (But at least I didn't also Apologise and Explain at Exhausting and Boring Length).

Please enjoy these pretty bokeh pictures of fireworks and of people oohing and aahing at them. 

This isn't fireworks. This is a towerblock. But still pretty.

Boom, fizz, wow, smoke.

Glee.

Sparkles and Roses

If you know me or you have read this blog regularly you'll recognise that these are two of my favourite things. Shots from Samantha's Supper Club at the weekend: previous shots from the Club are here.

A very pretty Christmas!

I love Christmas and it's mostly because of the sparkling decorations helping keep the dark and cold at bay. We were decorating the flat this evening, and I'm sure I documented more of the pretty lights than I helped hang baubles! Lisa (my crafty flatmate and the author of the Hawk and Fallow blog) and I have done a splendid job I think and there'll be more photos to come over the days. (Thanks for the lovely bokeh, Canon!)
