Hey, hey!

For this month’s 30 Minutes I’m sharing some images from a trip we took to West Wittering beach with my parents right back at the beginning of the year. It seems like a age ago, not a mere 30 days. Was this not the longest January on record?!

You could say it was typical British weather for January. It was bitterly cold and grey, but thankfully the rain stayed away. The dogs (and boys) had fun paddling in the sea, and I used the flat light as an excuse to experiment with techniques, lenses, and a new toy. You’re going to see images using my Lensbaby Edge 35, intentional camera movement and Lensbaby Omni Filters (attached to my 100mm 2.8L).

Hope you enjoy my images this month! Sorry for the long scroll……..!

Four months back living in the UK and four months feeling disconnected from my camera.

You could say I’ve been in a photographic rut. Life took over and I couldn’t make it stop. ⁣It’s hardly surprising, I suppose, that when life feels unsettled your focus shifts to finding stability, and the ups and downs of being creative certainly don’t go hand-in-hand that!

But just like the change in seasons, life is turning a corner and soon we’re going to start the next chapter. I am forcing myself to pick up my camera, forcing myself to edit and forcing myself to share. I want to document our lives when the tide changes and I need to be back up to speed when it does.

And so, this weekend I forced the family to take a trip to the beach. My excuse was a new gadget – a neutral density filter – to test, but my reason was to stretch my creative wings. It was such a relief to feel connected again.
