No Colour Needed

However much I love colour photographs,
sometimes I just want to look at black and white images.

I love the sensuality of these particular pictures
Unknown identities, hiding faces from the world,
yet exposing their bodies for all to see

Haunted

outside, there is a thick, freezing mist
which feels eerie and haunting.

slightly disturbing,
hidden faces,
icy hues

The Autumn/ Winter Edition of Things That Make Me Happy

Back in June, I posted a list of things that, at the time, were making me happy.
Here is an updated version.
Please feel free to post your own and let me know so that I can read them.

the colours of autumn leaves. the colour of the sky just before it gets dark. nights in with the heating on, watching true blood. nights out, dancing and drinking whiskey to keep warm. making christmas lists. christmas shopping with my mum. looking forward to the first christmas tree in mine and my boy's house. taking photographs of anything that catches my eye. editing photographs on picnik.com. sleeping on the side of the road in london in the camper van. exploring new cities. listening to music that makes my heart soar. fireworks parties. long weekends. secret projects with best friends. uniform time at work. velvet. lace. grey. purple. red. navy. stripes. woollen tights. scarves. faux fur. stoles. russian hats. flat battered brogues. home cooked stew. parmasan cheese shavings. strawberry cheesecake. watching masterchef and my boyfriend copying the receipes. beautifully haunting new books by old favourite authors. chickens laying fresh eggs every afternoon in the garden. discovering new blogs every day. continuing to love old favourite blogs. early evening sunsets. early evening cocktails. fun times with friends. silly times with friends. time spent with my boyfriend.

And the list goes on...

I can't stop looking for and falling in love with new photographers.
All of my favourites seem to have dreamy, faded qualities to their work.

Autumn Days

golden crunchy leaves,
veins all dried up
ghostly pallid trees,
fragile,
all dying, beautifully.

photographs and words my own.
