onefourfour: July

Our onefourfour theme for July was REPETITION.  I chose to photograph the ocean.  There's just something about the repetition of those waves rolling in...

Today.... Today my brain has had enough of its fullness and shut down.  I've been staying up way too late because I'm too tired to get off the couch and go to bed.  Repeat.  My head is full of work, deadlines, domestics, motherhood.  All I want to do is go shoot some film and create some amazing photographs (no pressure).  The afternoon light in winter is so unbelievably beautiful making me crave creation.  When I haven't got time to create I tend to look outward in an overboard kind of way.  I see so much talent, so many gorgeous photographs, beautiful art works.  Wishing I was way better than I am.  Jealous of their supporters.  Meanwhile I'm losing 'likers' and 'followers' when I share my personality on social media.  Wishing I was more.  But looking inward I know I am me and that is enough.  Although I haven't got new and shiny work to share regularly I am madly working behind the scenes and am so happy where I'm at with my work.  I've still got a lot to learn.  I can push myself a lot further.  There are so many photographs to come.

studio lighting workshop with Jason Lau

My good friend and awesome photographer Jason Lau is hosting a brilliant workshop at his studio in Box Hill (Melbourne).  There's only 6 places available so book in quick sticks!  Check out some of his gorgeous work;

wandering, wondering.

onefourfour: June

Our onefourfour theme for June was PLACE. 

Not surprisingly I returned to my spiritual home - the bush near where I grew up.  But I did want to photograph it a bit differently than I have before.  Shooting through leaves is something I do often but this time I have made the landscape more distorted and darker, I didn't want a straight sunny landscape photo.  Anyhoo I hope you like it!  onefourfour.blogspot.com

onefourfour: May

Our theme for May was SPACE! 

This time I thought I'd try something different, a very literal and straight photograph.  I photographed the full moon on the 15th of May - I only remember because it was my son's birthday!  You can check out all the other wonderful submissions at onefourfour.blogspot.com
