It's January. Otherwise known as the month of clearing out the contents of one's fridge and coming up with inventive recipes (I tend to throw a lot of ginger, chilli and garlic at the problem and hope for the best). Despite my best weekday inentions I

As you may have noticed, I've been playing around adding design elements and texts to my shots, and have been really enjoying it. Ben's Wacom tablet has proved very handy for this, as have all the design resources on the fantastic Pugly Pixel blog. I also
Aunty Life
I recently indulged in some of the really fun perks of Auntyhood – a trip to the park with Ethan, my four year old nephew. In between chasing him up climbing frames and pushing him on the swings, I took a couple of shots. After much climbing, swinging and hop-scotching, we

I just stumbled onto this beautiful food blog, The Cook's Atelier. Created by mother and daughter team Marjorie and Kendall, their blog features mouth-watering recipes using local supplies and it just seems to ooze all that's lovely about French living. I love the beautiful simplicity of

Hola! How was your weekend? I spent a good chunk of Saturday drinking Wall & Keogh tea and listening to Laura Mvula's EP, She. Mellow, vintage-tinged melodies, lovely languid lyrics and Laura's husky voice make for an addictive (and relaxing) combo. Here's a live

One of my favourite photographers of all time, Steve McCurry, teamed up with Kodak and National Geographic to create this short 30-minute documentary on how he went about shooting the last ever roll of Kodak's legendary Kodachrome film. The story behind those 36 frames is great, but it

Thanks to Michelle, I've just fallen in love with Done | Not Done. It's one of those can't-believe-this-didn't-exist-until-now apps: A website (and iPhone app) for all the things you want to do, not have to do. The team behind it created it "
