My new house friend

Everyone say hello to Alex! He is my neighbour's cat who has decided that he likes to frequent my house.

He is absolutely adorable though as he likes to be loved. As soon as you get near him he rolls onto his back so that you can rub his belly!!! how cute is that!!!!

souls of your feet :)

Feet

Texture and colouor

I decided to put this photo up for today as I took it this morning in my room. It is for a photo exercise that I am doing for class but I really love the vibrant colours and the texture of the cup and the cushion.

Remember when choosing colours that a colour that is opposite to the colour of your object on the colour wheel will help your object 'pop' out!

Also when taking a picture in which you are comparing texture make sure both the objects are in focus. As you can't compare if you can't see :)

Have a fabulous day!

365 Project

The 365 project has begun!!!!!

And this is my first photo - it is of St Peter's Chapel which is located on St Peter's Campus of Rhodes University.

Happy 2010!

Now I know it's been a while but yes I am still alive! My holiday was spent in the 'lovely' town of King Williams Town (oh and by lovely I do mean deathly boring). But the good news is that by staying at home the whole holiday and not spending money I managed to buy a new camera!!!!! and yes I am totally doing a happy dance right now! haha

I am so excited for this year as not only do I have a new camera, but I have also started the photojournalism part of my degree at university! I have actually spent a good portion of my afternoon outside working on a framing exercise for class on Monday.

Oh and I have decided to do a 'One photo a day' project. Basically it means that I will take at least one interesting photo a day and post it on my blog for your entertainment ( and my practice).

As soon as my internet at home is up and running again which should be later this week I will start the project - so watch this space!!! haha

Snippets from the London Park scene

Hyde Park skaters learning to take life at a different speed.

While in Regents Park many prefer a more aquatic mode of transport.

And those at Greenwich Park like to sit still and watch the world go by.

Surrounded by the beauitful architecture of the Royal Observatory, Maritime Museum, Greenwich University and the Queens House you can't blame their go slow attitude to life.

And to top it all off in Regents Park its a squirrel's life!
