Week 4 - Cupcakes

Cupcakes from The Cupcake Parlour on Friday at work. We got a random mix. Yum!

:)

Week 3 - Bailey

Bailey just started lying with his nose between his paws like this. Or maybe I just noticed him doing it. Either way, here's a cute photo of Bailey lying down with his nose between his paws.

And yes, Bailey is the most exciting thing I photographed this week. It's not the first time. And it won't be the last. Good thing he's cute.

Week 2 - Fluffy Seagull Butt

 Week 2! Only 50 weeks to go. :p

Spent the last few days in Hobart for a wedding. I was thoroughly amused by all the seagulls at the wharf so this week's photo is of a fluffy seagull butt.

IT'S SO FLUFFY!!!!!

Umm.. Yeah.

I still have to go through the rest of my photos so there may be more seagull photos on the way. They may or may not all be of their butts..

2014 Photography Project

Oh, hai! Happy New Year :)

So last year I tried to do two 365 projects which was kinda stupid. I got a few months in and had to drop one, then towards the end of the year I completely lost my motivation and started taking unfocused photos of the inside of my bag. Yes, I went there. At least I didn't have the motivation to share those ones.

So this year I'm going to post a blog and a photo every week on a Sunday 'cos I think that's something I can stay motivated about. Maybe. We'll see.

Quotemarks

The Book Depository is one of my favourite sites on the internet. I recommend them to EVERYONE. They have great prices and free shipping everywhere! They sent me a handful of their new Quotemarks so I spent an afternoon photographing some of my favourite quotes from my favourite books. Click on the links to see the books on their site. Every order comes with your very own Quotemark! Share it with #LoveThisQuote for a chance to win a book! More info here.

Crazy!

My life in one word right now. After buying my first DSLR after watching Veronica Mars (seriously, and how awesome is it that they're making a movie!) and spending years taking photos of my polymer clay creations and Bailey and family gatherings, I'm now working as a photographer for Shop Fashion Avenue taking photos like this:

And this:

And turning this:                                                              Into this:    

And it's kind of awesome. And totally crazy. And completely terrifying. But I love it.

It's making life kind of nuts though. So I've decided to drop one of my 365 Projects. Some days I don't see Bailey and other days I take incredible photos of him and nothing else so I'm dropping Daily Bailey. Which doesn't mean there will be less photos of him, just fewer bad ones and maybe not one every day. He's still completely adorable and my favourite muse.

Kickstarter

I finally figured out this whole Kickstarter thing late last year and have backed 10(!) successful projects so far with pledges on a number that are still running. So here's my five favourite Kickstarter projects running right now:

5. Find a Film Movie Poster - A poster that helps you decide what movie to watch. I love this idea and the execution, I'm just not sure where I would put it.

4. Stripped - A documentary on comics including interviews with some of my favourite cartoonists. I haven't committed to backing this one yet, mostly because I can't decide which level! Probably the $20 (digital download) level.

3. NeoDrop - A cool little magnetic display. Pledged at the $50 (no shipping!) level for one in each colour - one for my desk, one for someone else's :)

2. Luxi - An incident light meter adapter for iPhone. This little gadget helps the iPhone mimic a real light meter and any light meter app will tell you what settings to use on your camera to get a correct exposure. I'm backing at the $17 ($22 with shipping) level.

1. The Veronica Mars Movie Project - I love Veronica Mars and this is just such a cool project anyway. I'm backing at the $200 ($210 with shipping) level now that most of the rewards have finally opened up to international backers. I missed out on the premiere tickets levels :(
