A retrospective...part lll

This is the third entry of five in which I am sharing with you the portfolios I entered into a contest held by an international photography magazine. (Colour, a sister publication to Black & White)

I mentioned in the last couple of posts that I badly need to take my camera in for a good cleaning but the thought of not having it for 4 to 6 weeks does not sit to well with me. It has also been a long time since I have managed to find time to get out and take any photos. On Easter morning I was sitting at the table, the window was open, it was raining, and the birds were singing like there was no tomorrow. On impulse, I grabbed the camera, dirty or not, and headed to the greenhouse to snap a few photos.

Therefore my friends, I will soon have some new photos to share. I am currently editing them, removing the dust spots, and once I have finished the retrospective will post some new ones. So bare with me....


This portfolio was from my Bokeh series, 2011

A retrospective...part ll

There is a blackbird singing(?) outside my window, and it is overcast but mild. Which when all put together makes me want to grab my camera and go for a hike...But due to the camera situation I mentioned in my previous post, this sadly is not going to happen.

So you, and I will have to make due with another retrospective of previous shots. As mentioned I entered five portfolios into a competition and I am sharing with you each of them one by one. My last post featured portfolio one and today I will share the second.

Since today also happens to be Easter Sunday, I will share the set that is most cheery, and spring like. It features shots from early this year taken at Allan Gardens. (In the greenhouse)....

Happy Easter!

A retrospective...

It has been a while since I have posted anything, which I am sorry for. Things have been a little hectic lately, and I have been fighting a really nasty cold for almost three weeks. On top of all that I need to take my camera in for a good cleaning, and apparently that is going to result in 4 to 6 weeks of not being able to use it. I keep putting it off because that seems like such a huge time to not be able to take a single shot...

Needless to say, I am unable to show you any new work. On the plus side of things, my exhibit at Olivia's has been extended by a month, until the end of May. I also decided to enter a portfolio contest held by Color magazine which is a sister publication to the more famous Black and White photography magazine. There was no limit to the amount of portfolios one could enter so I decided to enter 5 separate ones showcasing different themes from my past work. Consider it a retrospective if you may. I have decided to show you all the images I chose to enter, and I will post them over 5 different blog entries starting with today's.

Obviously you may have seen some or all of them. But I often say to others that sometimes you need to look back and see where you have been in order to know where to go....so do come take a look back with me......
