birthday treats...

the view we had when eating a huge...

chicken schnitzel sandwich...

my birthday cake from a french patisserie...

in the rocks...

pure chocolate heaven...

ta huw...

and just like a prodigal son I've returned...

ozland is an interesting place...

similar and yet so far removed fromour quintessentially english...

way of life...

the land scape is beautiful...

and the fruit is so colourful...

maybe because itssummer...

but at the moment colour just seems to leap out...

even when it's 'grey'...

that is a colour after all...

we dream...

i keep dreaming about alien invasions...

and what is beyond the sky...

my brother is a great photographer in denial...

he took the photo of the sky...

it makes me dream...

of clouds and heaven and outer space...

'I guess every girl goes through a photography phase'...

maybe this is all just a phase...

i do like taking dumb pictures of my feet...

summer is almost here and im getting very excited...

it means long afternoons in the fields...

and even longer nights sat swinging my legs over the river by the arnolfini...

with a cider in my hand...

gabby took some photos of me...

(and an accompanying film)...

in a tim walker style setting...

we got a bit delirious with all the fresh air and sunlight...

but produced some good results...

over exposing an image is every photographers nightmare...

atleast thats what your taught to think...

hobogestapo and mark borthwick are brilliant at capitalising on this 'mistake'...

they over expose their work and create a delicate and eery image...

i've taken those influences and done the opposite...

here is an undelicate and funny image of my brother...

not quite as beautiful as mark borthwicks work...

but i will get there...

i promise...

on sunday we went to the pick me up exhibition at somerset house...

it was interesting to see all the different prints by different artists...

most were screen prints...

which ofcourse if a favourite medium of mine...

one artists work in particular resonated in me...

that of one erin petson...

(of which i have stolen her tiger)...

her work was clearly fashion influenced...

and showed beautiful girls with animals, heels and flowers...

some of my favourite things...

this piece is my response to what i saw...

all my own photography and half my drawing efforts...

the world always needs beautiful things to look at...

lets keep creating them...
