Like a mini alternative to doing a treasury I have been enjoying compiling these Etsy collections. Today with a summery red and green theme.
The tea mug is by Mr PS – made by Megan Price in Manchester. I love her quirky slightly retro designs – alongside the mugs she also designs tea towels and tote [...]

Apologies for the late appearance of this post. I am in full “trip preparation ” mode – and things get a little hectic. None the less, I know that if I let a week slip off the radar it will be harder to pick up again. So here are another five.
The book of Happy Endings. [...]

Oh dear, the mosaic tool and the colour picker are just too much fun to use. Have a busy day ahead, but couldn’t resist playing along again this week with Mitsy’s Flickr Favourites. This didn’t turn out how I intended at all, but [...]
12 City Project – Istanbul
Posted in Create, Inspire, Live, Personal, Photography, Travel, istanbul, tagged art, cities, city, creative, Europe, film, happy, istanbul, photograph, Photography, polaroid, sx70, Travel, turkey on June 13, 2009 | 3 Comments »
A quick glimpse at some of the work in progress. Istanbul is city number 9 in my series of 12. I particularly wanted to include this city to provide a bit of real contrast with the Western European cities. In each city I have tried to photograph one or two very recognisable locations , but [...]
7 Thoughts about having an Exhibition.

1. Sometimes you just need to decide to do something rather than wait for someone else to give you permission.

I used a method inspired by Ariane Goodwin of the Smartist Telesummit. She advises mapping a time line in reverse , [...]
Encouragers – Who has encouraged you ?
Posted in Create, Personal, Photography, tagged art, city, creative, edinburgh, exhibition, photograph, Photography, polaroid, starrybluesky, sx70 on April 16, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Or who have you encouraged ? Both sides of the coin can help us to move forward. I have been thinking about the subject of encouragement after reading this blog post by Jaspal Jandu yesterday.
When I was in London a couple of weeks ago, shooting city number 7 in my “12 City Project” I hit [...]

Posted in Create, Personal, Photography, tagged art, city, creative, edinburgh, exhibition, photograph, Photography, polaroid, scotland, starrybluesky, sx70 on April 15, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Yesterday finally saw the exhibition opening. Because of the timing of the exhibition changeovers we decided to open on the Tuesday during the day and then have a Private View in the evening. It all went really well and hopefully the visitors enjoyed seeing the results of all the hard work too. We both sold a [...]
The creative flow….

……..when it strikes you just need to hang on to it and keep going. Its taken me a very long time to realise that creative work doesn’t happen at a constant flow all the time. There are periods of intense activity followed by others where ideas seem thin on the ground. I’m trying to relax [...]
