I’ve never minded hanging out at the airport. Always seem to keep myself occupied :)

I’ve learned to be careful with leaving empty compositional space in my pictures. My friend Jeff has a habit of adding robot doom wherever he finds space available :)

This for instance is a photograph my brother took:

Which then delightfully became this at the hands of Jeff:

I then felt the urge to breath life into it like so:

There was much giggling / maniacal laughter throughout this process.

Last year, I got the itch to get back into photography. I originally fell in love with it as a hobby in my early teens, back when using a camera involved long, bad tasting strips of ribbon. My weapon of choice then was the Canon AE-1

This beautiful contraption taught me a lot about patience and how to cope with failure :)

I’m now wielding a Sony a6000, and finding that taking pictures is a much needed creative outlet for me. I love producing art, and in the past that has mostly meant sitting in front of a computer to create pretty things from scratch, but with a camera, I get to go out, explore the world and hunt down the pretty things, and shoot them! (with my camera…)

I’ll start posting  my photos here on a regular basis, but you can also checkout my photography site: www.shootingprettythings.com to see as a whole, where they are also available for purchase :)
