Urban Perspective Mini-Book

This another of the fun mini-book samples I did for Linda to show at Crafteire this weekend.

The photos are for one of my college projects and are views of Dublin.

Botanic Gardens Shoot

Sunday we had a macro shoot in the Botanic Gardens. There wasn't a whole lot of flowers there, and it was quite hard work! Mind I did get a few nice shots.

Summer Mini Book

Once again I was honoured that Linda Kelly (Kelly Paper Crafts) asked me to make up some mini book samples for her for to bring to Crafteire next weekend. This is one of her new style chipboard mini-books, and some of the fab chipboard alphas.







These books are so quick and so much fun, I highly recommend them you try them out ;-)

Studio Shoot

Tonight we had our studio shoot - it was good fun. Ok, so I'm not David Bailey (yet) but I really enjoyed this, and would definitely like to play more with this type of photography.

The lovely model - Lolo, was extremely professional and great fun - which helped make it easier for us. This final one was a bit of a joke ;-)

Spring Inchies

The lovely Joanne Wardle encouraged me to take part in her inchie swap - check it out on her blog.

I mentioned to her I'd like to take part but I'd never made an inchie before - she suggested I incorporate my photography into this challenge. I'm really pleased with the result - so I owe a big thanks to Joanne for both the incouragement and inspiration!


The background is stamped and embossed swirls with yellow embossing powder, rubbed over with green ink.

Street Photography

Todays brief for our course photo shoot was Street Photography. We were aiming to shoot in B&W with a wide lens to capture people on Grafton Street. (ála Cartier Bresson)

I can't find words to express how hard this brief was, but I stuck to it and got a few photos which were ok. It takes a certain kind of person to not be intimidated standing in front of strangers and taking their photo - and I'm just not that person.

Saying that I'm really glad I did this as it pushed me out of a speeding comfort zone ;-)

I have to pick 3 images to submit so I'd love your feedback......

Sunday Shots

I was out early this morning for a course shoot. But I snapped a few before meeting up with my class mates. These shots were taken in Stephens Green.
