As pretty and fresh and cherry blossoms are, they always strike a teensy bit of fear into my heart. And I'm sure many former and current UCD students feel the same. Why so, you ask? Cherry blossoms, in UCD land, mean one thing: looming exams. Seeing those pretty,

Apologies for the overload of Ethan images this week on the blog! In order to get it out of my system, I've made a wee slideshow of shots from our Phoenix Park trip. If you haven't already OD-ed on toddler cuteness, feel free to indulge here.

You know you've had a good weekend when there's a tupperware container of chopped carrots and cucumbers in your bag... Friday, Yvonne and I had a delightfully girly evening of home-made cocktails and home-baked cupcakes. Very Carrie Bradshaw meets Betty Draper. After a trip to see

I like pens. And pretty papers, and cute notebooks and nice calendars, and lovely card holders. That is all.

There's a great iPhone app by photographer Chase Jarvis called The Best Camera. Now, anyone who's used an iPhone camera (particularly a pre-3GS one) might well laugh at this. I did, until I discovered the full name of Jarvis' app - The Best Camera Is

Poor Yvonne. She arrives at the apartment carrying a bag of nachos, some dip and a bottle of Diet Coke, innocently thinking that she has come to watch the X Factor final. But see, Yvonne has arrived as the sun does a pretty little golden dance across my balcony, and

What do you do when it's too cold to go out, too dark to take pictures and there's nothing good on TV? Cut up some paper, get some duct tape and make some heart-shaped bokeh of course! These, I know, have been done (and done much
