You didn’t think I had vanished from the face of the earth now did you? I’ve just been incredibly swamped with work ever since the new Year started. It’s weird, wonderful and a little troubling too. (knock on wood) It could be over next month, so I am taking everything I can to make up [...]

I’ve been having this one on my desk for a while now. I know Donna Hay is known for her light and airy photographs, but really, if you go through the magazines, you will notice that there are quite a few with beautiful dark and moody images. Maybe because it is winter, but I’m quite [...]

I get questions on a regular basis on the specifics of how I take my photos and how I light the scene.. Today is a very cold day and not really suitable to go outdoors, so I figured I entertain myself (and hopefully you) by taking a couple of photos and showing you the difference [...]

Now that I finally have my kitchen aid, I am convinced that the next appliance will either be the pasta maker or the icecream maker.. Summer is past now, so does it make sense to go for the icecream maker first? Probably not, but yesterday I got serious icecream making urges… I was giving a [...]

The weather has been incredibly warm here for the last couple of days. The beaches are completely overfull and temperatures were in the thirties (Celsius) for a while. At some point it was estimated that about half of the country was close to the waterfront… That would be roughly 8 million people… While I am [...]
