Week 30

L - Japan Travel Diary: I started to put together my travel diary probably more a scrapbook when I was away but didn't finish it off. I carried where I left off this weekend.

R - Creepy Face: C found this old plaster cast of his face at his parents place. It that was used to make a mask for a play, it's creepy but so cool!

Week 29

L - A view of Tokyo at night from the Government Building. Didn't have the right camera gear to take a good pic but I improvised and got an ok shot.

R - Macy's had a one day sale (pretty much a weekly event) so I got a waffle iron. I've wanted one forever but always thought it would end up collecting dust but my friend Ryan said I'd use it so here goes....Peanut butter and Jelly flavour! yummers they were amazing, I'm very happy and will waffle every weekend!

Week 28

L - One of many shots taken at the amazing Fushimi-Inari Taisha in Kyoto. The Shrine was dedicated to the gods of rice and sake in the 8th century but since it signifies success in businesses. A pathway lead 4km up the mountain and is lined with these glorious Tori gates most of the way. One of the highlights of my trip.

R - I take my camera out on the weekend mornings when I walk Diego, and snapped this just as we were coming back home. I took a few which were boring, but then took one on this angle and it's much more interesting.

Look Leslie, we both have paths in our photos going in the same direction.....creepy

Week 27

L - Some ladies making there way to the temple today in Kurashiki (Near Okayama)

R - As an early birthday celebration I went with some friends to a very special Easter brunch with bottomless mimosas/champagne and bloody marys. I sampled all of the above and brunch lasted 3.5 hours shazzam!

Week 26

L - I was cleaning on the weekend and I found this little guy belly up on the windowsill. A bit bizarre I know but the texture and pattern are fab I think. Plus his curly antennae love it.

R - Diego found a new friend outside, then proceeded to destroy him...poor rudolph!

Week 25

L - Not very exciting this week as I spent most of the weekend planning for my big trip in a week or so. Not much time for photo taking. I keep all my travel stuff from ALL of my travels one day I will make a big collage type print. I was looking for passport etc and came across this and spent the next hour reminiscing about past travel. Good times!!

R - this week I found my extension tubes to turn my kit lens into a macro lens so I had a wee play around with Meche's eyeballs and nose! she was very patient, unlike Diego. Not the sharpest, but you have to manual focus and it was a little tricky but this is what I got. You can see C, photos on the wall, the tv underneath them, the window and me of course! quite a lot of stuff for one tiny eyeball.

Week 24

Note for this week......Mother's Day in the UK was yesterday Sunday 14th March

L - Last photo taken for the stop motion video I made for my Mum. See it below or Here!.

R - Not very exciting this week, I took this photo a wee while ago while there was still some snow around. I snapped though the security fence of this old building that I'm dying to get into and have a wee photo shoot. I just need some anorexic models in skinny jeans for the ultimate urban hipster photo shoot.
