when i started blogging way back when
i was so excited
it was exciting
an amazing platform to put my voice and my work out there
even if it is only my mom that reads each and every post
my only wish is that i was more consistent
but having a blogging schedule filled with ‘engaging content’ and sticking to it
well that’s really not me
last year was full of a lot of small but significant changes for me
a conscious attempt to spend less time at the computer
spend less time online
trying to use my film camera more
for personal photos, if using my digital camera, only allowing light editing with VSCO and that’s it
make more family albums so we all get to enjoy the bazillion photos i take
trying to be more present
and a lot of the time being present for me is not having a camera at all
and mostly i’m okay with that
so
back to blogging
i’d like to update more
so hopefully i will
xoxoxo
these are from our recent trip to perth
big family reunion
i cajoled and begged and insisted and told and bossed everyone into walking to this beautiful beach
for a big family photo as the sun was setting
i got one chance – one shot before the little kids ran off
and i left my sunglasses on – what a dork!
i’ve included a few of us trying to set up seventeen people
on a rock, all smiling, with a timer-set camera precariously balanced on a rucksack
but we got some beautiful shots
i hardly edited them, hard as that was
just VSCO Film Presets and a little cropping
the film presets is what makes them grainy and i love it
enjoy this big-long-overdue-over-wordy
