Firsty, I got engaged three weeks ago - my lovely boyfriend popped the question at Sake, our favourite restaurant. He almost forgot to actually ask me to marry him after he'd presented me with a beautiful sparkly ring - but we got there in the end, and we are now engaged and planning our wedding :)
Having looked at so many wedding photos since the photography passion amped up, we both have a pretty good idea of what we like and don't like about all aspects of weddings. If I had a dollar for every time we've been asked in the last three weeks, "who'll photograph YOUR wedding?", I'd be rich! Rich enough to fund this looming wedding. For now, we have a few feelers out....I pity the poor photographer whose job it will be to get me to crack a natural smile in front of the camera (without the automatic reaction of holding my hand up, in a massive gesture of NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO). I have always been a behind-the-camera kinda girl...
The other main excuse for not posting, is that my photo challenge (and in fact, daily life) has been taken over some little people....Lego Mini Figures (or minifigs). They'll all about 3cm tall and come with a varierty of interchangeable accessories. In just a few weeks, I've amassed a collection of about 15 little people, who seem to tag along in my handbag....I never quite know where or how they're going to appear in my images, but there's a growing collection of their antics on my Flickr Stream.So far, all my minigfig shots have come from the G12 - I'm still loving this little camera. The macro lens on it is great - so versatile and LIGHT! I take it everywhere...and it seems the minifigs turn everywhere into a photo opportunity.
Since starting to shoot under the influence of these whacky little dudes, I've come across a whole bunch of minifig fanatics on Flickr. It's nice to know that there are other nutters out there. Until next time....
