thursday october 4th 2012 ...

Yes it's been a while ... i can't lie i am not a good blogger. But i really will try & be better. Starting today (well yesterday in a way) see i have been missing my creativity with the crazy that's been going on. We are moving back to England in 19 days plus we did a whole bunch of traveling & then i had that whole photographing the Paralympics thing going on. So well anyways yeah it's been a little busy. So in order to get my "creativity" back i along with a couple of incredible talented (& wonderful) photographers did a day in the life of challenge. (you can view Myan's day here & Lisa's day here ... & trust me when i say you really want to) Well i won't lie for me it was hard ... partly because my life is well incredible boring on a day to day basis, partly because i wanted more of a still life than a documentary feel & partly because errands wit my son are far from glamorous. But you know what i am incredible happy with the results ... i stepped outside my comfort zone, it was more documentary than my usual fine art & i shot it all with my nifty fifty (i needed something easy to carry). 

So here it is a day in the life of me (& well yeah Jacob too)!

so this is pretty much how every day starts ... i was actually able to get my showing in before he was up (always a bonus & no i didn't photograph that part) ...
our diaper battle ... 
the stairs ... they used to take me 10 seconds to get down, now we have to allow a few minutes ...
errands (& such lovely weather) ...
lunch at one of my favourite restaurants in k-town (the meals are the perfect size for us to share & i love their jager schnitzel), unfortunately i was unable to photograph the crazy lady who sat at our table ...
prior to making the dash back to the car ... 

i was trying to do a little packing & turned around to see this ...
removing pictures from the walls (my house is looking so bare & unhomely) ...
having picked up my "unfixed" lap top in k-town i set to work on a client album (i usually work off my imac but being as Jacob hates the office this lets me do stuff whilst he plays) ...
coming up with some mischievous plan ...
& now i will leave you with Jacob taking off his pants!

So that's our day ... but after the move when things are a little settled i hope to share some more days with you. & who knows having blogged today maybe i will just go ahead & blog some more tomorrow!
