Now she is 6

a-is-6

Bradley went to his best friend’s birthday party today at the Spur.  I got there late (I do work for a living), so I missed the cake shots etc, but Danna asked me to take photos anyway. These are my favourite photos from the afternoon.

My head is absolutely spinning from what went on at work today, so I didn’t manage to take photos (I’ll post more about my work story in a few days once the dust settles).  Instead, here are a few more from yesterday.

I’ve been struggling to find things to photography lately, besides yesterday with the baby, but makes me think of how life will be here without them…will only have scenery to photography and I love doing people…not looking forward to this.
Will have to take lots of family, friends and kids when in cT on holiday and post them for months after my holiday…LOL

An expensive day

abstract-self

I had such drama with my camera over the weekend.  While I was in Hermanus in December, I did a very silly thing, and changed the lens on the beach on a very windy day.  As a result I got dust/sand in the camera body!  I thought I was very clever on Sunday, and tried...

angel (136 comments.) - February 1, 2009 - 8:19 pm

i love the photo, and my dad swears by that shop too!

angels last blog post..So What’s Been Happening…?

Huckdoll (27 comments.) - January 31, 2009 - 8:58 pm

Whew! I know next to nothing about cameras, but I do know that sand + camera = scary. Glad to hear you got it all sorted out and found a great place in the process. Great self portrait!

Huckdolls last blog post..I Cannot Wait…

Sarah (2 comments.) - January 31, 2009 - 12:05 pm

I have made the sand + lens mistake before. It only takes once.

Poop!

marcelle (53 comments.) - January 28, 2009 - 10:08 am

Interesting…am sure you happy to have your camera back!!

Good photo – has an arty look about it.

Sue - January 28, 2009 - 10:06 am

lol at your expensive day!! does not sound like you at all – yeah right!! at least you got something you wanted and I think the pic is cool :)

Firefly (273 comments.) - January 28, 2009 - 8:45 am

Maybe I should go and look if I can find such a shop and see what a secondhand DSLR costs. I love my camera, but somewhere in the future I will have to upgrade to a “proper” camera with lenses and actually learn how to use it.

Great self portrait. Beautiful. I want to make a comment / suggestion which I don’t want you to take in the wrong sexual kind of way. If you took the picture without your top on, your two black shoulder straps would not have shown and the pic would have been more… sensual. But that’s just me. I’ll leave now. Bye.

Fireflys last blog post..Funny signs

phillygirl (20 comments.) - January 28, 2009 - 7:25 am

Oh what a relief for you … and a nice treat in the new lense! Sounds like they’re a bit like Noyes or … – Damn, have totally forgotten the other little camera shop in Cape Town, my mom would know ;) Good find tho!

phillygirls last blog post..Cough. Splutter. Sneeze.

SECRET AGENT MAMA (160 comments.) - January 28, 2009 - 7:01 am

I might get a full frame sooner than I think. But, crop cameras are still pretty great. I know a couple HIGH rated wedding photogs in this area that shoot with crops and they are just as good as those that shoot with full frames.

Regardless… Great choice on the lens. This L series one that I got is PURE BUTTER! I love it so much, it’s not even funny!

Go forth and shoot, my friend. lol

Louisa (41 comments.) - January 28, 2009 - 6:33 am

I’m glad you got that sorted out, must have been terrible not having your camera ready to use when you want to.

Louisas last blog post..Good old catch up ramble

Pia (46 comments.) - January 27, 2009 - 11:59 pm

love it. the photo and the lens.

Karin (116 comments.) - January 27, 2009 - 10:02 pm

OMW, that does sound like a nightmare! I’m completely paranoid about taking my new camera to the beach, sand in the wrong places can be a very bad thing indeed… Oh, and I’m so jealous of your new lens!! I’m sure you’ll enjoy playing with it. Also love the pic, very arty!

Karins last blog post..Are you real?

laura-dolcepics (3 comments.) - January 27, 2009 - 9:45 pm
