<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">As calendar season came around again I realized I hadn't shot much of Cambridge this year. I mean for the record it's not like I don't have you know hundreds of other Cambridge pictures but I wanted a little new work in the 2015 calendar. So anyways I took a couple of trips into Cambridge last week, & now I'm super excited for winter (& maybe snow pictures in Cambridge. So this weeks sisterhood stories post features some new pretties from one of my very favorite places! & don't forget to head on round the circle for more pretties & inspiration starting with <a href="http://kaymaguirephotography.blogspot.co.uk/">Kay</a>! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">First of all ... how is it September already??? No really when did this happen! I am in shock! Anyways I am busy trying to organize my office, clean stuff out & I just got back from a beautiful wonderful trip to France (oh how i love France) & i feel like we have so much going on for the rest of the year my brain is moving between procrastinating & not enough hours in the day (& yes i am well aware the solution to that is not to procrastinate). So anyways I have nothing this week, just a couple of photos of France (I am in the midst of editing) & then i must return to my attempt at being productive! & you my wonderful viewers can make your way around the Sisterhood Circle starting with <a href="http://www.karriedrakeblog.com/">Karrie</a> in the hopes that they have something a little more substantial to share with you & i will return to the cleaning & decluttering. Happy hump day everyone! xx</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">July has been a nice quiet month for me ... i've been reading every chance i get & trying to slow down a title. This means I haven't really been out shooting much but honestly i've kind of liked it. I did manage a day trip out to Wells-Next-The-Sea on the Norfolk coast a few weeks back. I went mid week thinking it would be nice & quiet ... boy was i wrong, that place was packed. But I adore the beach huts so i spent a couple of hours shooting & trying to avoid people as best i can before heading home. So i hope you enjoy the beach huts & the pretty English seaside as much as I do & then head off around the rest of the Sisterhood Stories for more pretties & inspiration, starting with <a href="http://karriedrakeblog.com/">Karrie</a>.</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So here's what i know about running ... i love it ... yes i'm one of "those" ... i mean how can you love something that hurts so much? Here's the thing about running ... it lets me clear my head, i always feel accomplished (even a bad run), it gets me outdoors (i'm really not a treadmill kind of girl & yes even in the middle of winter) & i get to fly!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Stepping back a little I can admit it has never come easy for me, i have to work at it, i have to want it. Sometimes I feel like it's the same as my photography, very much a part of who I am & something I feel is missing if i don't do it. I feel lucky that i can run, & that i get to run with some amazing people. So slowly I have been working on incorporating two of my passions & creating some inspirational running photographs which I'm sharing here. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So as hard as this may be to understand after California & my epic editing sessions I was a little burnt out on landscapes, it's not that i don't love everything i shot but I had been looking at them for weeks & i needed a change. Time to step outside my little box & shoot some still life's. Still life's don't come easy to me, I have a hard time creating the picture, I much prefer to be given the picture & go from there. But I also needed something totally different. So over the span of a few days, taking over the kitchen table with "props" from around the house & a few flowers from the local florist I got creative. I played around with different lenses, had a little fun in my editing & here are some of the end results. I hope you enjoy them as much as i do ... & don't forget to head on round the rest of the sisterhood circle starting with <a href="http://www.karriedrakeblog.com/2014/06/sisterhood-stories-south-florida-in-may.html">Karrie</a> & some more stunning photography! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So i haven't blogged ... because well i have been in oh so sunny California visiting with family & friends & enjoying a world wind month long adventure with Jacob. Unfortunately the hubby wasn't able to join us but we made the most of it still. So i am knee deep in editing & whilst i have masses of photos to blog about my brain is kind of mushy right now & i have no clue where to start. So with that in mind, this week's blog is going to be all iPhone ... my favorites from the trip, all over the place, lots of random & of course many many Jacob in there. I have steadily fallen more & more in love with my iPhone & the spontaneous moments it captures. All these were edited using instagram & if you are so inclined you can find me on there @oohprettyshiny. Oh & don't forget to make your way around the sisterhood circle checking out the talents of <a href="http://www.karriedrakeblog.com/">Karrie</a> first. Happy hump day everyone! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So i have been in a little bit of a funk in recent weeks ... a combination of running injury & just some photographic "issues" ... it happens to the best of us. & in 3 days me & the little man are heading stateside for 4 weeks of hanging with the family & hopefully for me a chance to find my photographic "mojo" again! I have to admit there are a few new toys waiting for me in cali, & i'm super excited to try out some new skills & take some much needed me time. So for this weeks sisterhood stories I just wanted to share a few photos from april ... it hasn't been hugely exciting in our world but I've taken the camera out in Cambridge a couple of times & i took a landscape workshop at the beginning of the month. Anyways enjoy a little spring, a little color & a little learning! & don't forget to make your way around the rest of the sisterhood circle starting with <a href="http://www.jbaronephotography.com/journal/">Jessica</a>. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So here's the ummm geek in me i guess ... I love railway stations. I mean i adore them. I love the mix of emotions that can be found in them, the sense of romance & the history that goes with. & then, then there is the architecture. Back when i was in 6th form i studied Station Architecture for my a-level art, travelled around stations taking pictures & read about their history. I really do love them ... did you know they were considered the "cathedrals" of the 19th century? Anyways every time i travel to London from Cambridge I am lucky enough to enjoy London King's Cross station with it's huge arches & historic clocks. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So something I have always admired is street photography, i mean who doesn't right? I can look at the work of Cartier Bresson for hours, drooling over the pages of his books, & i have incredible talented friends such as <a href="http://www.robgrimesphotography.co.uk/london-street-photography-the-fuji-x-pro-1/">Rob Grimes</a> & <a href="http://www.bleulips.com/">Sasha Holloway</a> who can capture those instant moments, me well i don't think that fast. So i have been trying to step outside my little box, stop waiting for the people to get out of my shots (because seriously they are always in my way) & capture the moment as it's happening. But also I have been working on the "format" i shoot in. I naturally see everything in "landscape" & i feel this is something i need to work on so. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So a couple of weeks back i ventured into Cambridge with just my <a href="http://www.lensbaby.com/">Lensbaby</a> composer pro & edge 80 lens for company, & a lot of rain!

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I think we all have a place where we can find peace, a place that we can sit & watch & dream. I have a few of those spots but one of them is on the shores of Lake Isabella. Up in the Sierra Nevadas of California it's a huge man made lake, a damn protecting Isabella & Bakersfield from it. The Kern River flows into it, & it's rounded by dirt & mountains & rocks & everything England isn't. I first met the Lake in 2007 when my then boyfriend took me to see it, since then I have been back to see it 3 times & have simple grown to love it more. This time we were in for a shock as the drought that has hit the area means the Lake is drying up, all those trees you see in this pictures sticking out the water weren't there in 2011 when i saw it last. My favorite spot to go & stand is now dirt, the water hundreds of meters from it's edge. It makes me sad to see it disappear. But i set out to photography it, something i have never managed to do justice too, & i have to admit it took me about 4 tries before i got the images you see here. The problem (& yes it was a problem) were the blue blue skies, too much contrast. It's January, mid winter & barely a sign of a cloud in the sky (the opposite of winter in England) but finally the week before we left we had some hazy days, i jumped on this & found the peace I feel there in person in my work. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Ok ok i know i am bad at blogging ... what can i say, i distract easily ... I keep having good intentions but then they fail. So it's been a few weeks, but i will allow for the fact i was on vacation. But now i'm back & it's time for a few pretties & you chance to enjoy the inspirations of the sisterhood stories. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So i wanted to share some of my favorites from our month in California (& Vegas) ... & as it turns out they were all shot with my beloved <a href="http://www.lensbaby.com/">Lensbaby</a>. I admit i do have some favorites that weren't shot with said Lensbaby but i swear this lens was designed for California, it just suited the "vibe" of well everything. I love how it used the pretty light so well & the tones were beautiful, & then Vegas a city i have never been able to shoot well it captured it perfectly for me. So enough talk it's picture time ... & when you're done here be sure to head on round the rest of the sisterhood stories circle & check out their musing, words & inspirational pictures starting with <a href="http://karriedrakeblog.com/">Karrie</a>. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I am a runner ... i love being able to say that ... i am not the faster & i can't go the furthest but i am a runner. I love running, i love the feel of my muscles working, flying along the pavement, & i love how it clears my head. I find a sense of peace when i am out there & i do a lot of thinking. Not the bad kind of thinking just it's as if when running you can put all the pieces of the puzzle together with ease, push away the stuff that is irrelevant & find the answers to the mysteries of the world. Today's run was necessary except for the fact i had something to prove to myself, i have been gradually pushing my body a little more & seeing some great results & i love that. I had already gotten in back to back T25 before taking Jacob to nursery, & then my regular HIIT class but well its my birthday & i had something to prove to my "older" self. So i ran on tired legs & i can't lie the first mile kind of sucked but it felt good to be out there, a nice pace, not too cold ... & the rest!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So then i get thinking ... all kinds of things but i keep coming back to inspiration. As photographers the subject of inspiration comes up a lot. what inspires us? who inspires us? How do we find our way out of a rut? & the first thing that comes to mind is that i go out & shoot, a photo road trip or just 20 minutes at a favorite location. But today i moved away from photography & thought about all the incredible people in my life that inspire me. I wish i knew as a 23 year old that it wasn't the famous people who would be the ones who would have the biggest impact on my life. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I feel bless in so many ways to have a wonderful husband, a beautiful son & a "job" that i love. But i also feel blessed by the friends who have come into my world & shown me so much. The come from every warp of life, though the majority are military or military spouses & the first thing i can say is they have this incredible strength, we're not talking physically but on another level. They are proof that you can be anything you want to be if you work hard enough at it. They inspire me to get up in the morning & put myself out there whether it's photographically or pushing myself at the gym. The people i love the most are spread across the world but they still inspire me with their own dreams, their own achievements & their drive. It doesn't matter if you are starting with nothing, it matters that you take the first step & having those people to help guide & show you the way makes a huge difference. & i have to say my running friends are often top of that list ... there is this no holds barred rule when out running, i can tell someone anything & i know they won't judge. Don't ask me why but it's better than therapy, it's the ultimate physical & mental release. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">But today i also realized something more important ... as much as you do need to surround yourself by inspirational people you need to inspire yourself. & i do ... i love at the person i am now, my body with all it's scars & well "curves" where i wish they wouldn't be & i am strong, i can run a half marathon, i can survive deployments & i can give birth. I could have said it out loud too as i pushed through that final quarter of a mile because i think we all need to. It's not about not needing to rely on others it's about finding the strength in yourself to move forward not alone but with being your own guide. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I am sure many a person has said this & more cohesively but its something i wanted to share, something i wish my 23 year old self would have known that i am the inspiration i seek. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">& this is me ... all ... well sweaty after my run! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I wish i could take workshops every week ... i love love love them! It's true ... i mean ...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">1. i love learning </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">2. i love being inspired </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">3. any excuse to take photos</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So in the depths of my August when i was feeling uninspired & stuck in the rut i signed myself up for a couple of very different workshops once of which was totally new to me. I have always admired landscape photographers & long exposures specifically but as hard as i try i can't get them right so this was my chance to learn ... & it was awesome. I spent a beautiful fall afternoon shooting on the Norfolk coast & understanding filters & getting the look I had been dreaming on (resulting in me buying said filters & waiting rather impatiently for everything to arrive so i can go practice what i have learnt). So here is something very new & a little different to keep you occupied. & don't forget to head on round the circle of Sisterhood Stories starting with something else very different on the blog of <a href="http://www.karriedrakeblog.com/">Karrie Drake</a>. & have a wonderful wednesday! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So recently i have ended up in another funk ... life & the weather simple as that. & my beloved lensbaby work has taken the brunt of my dislike. I felt as if it was uncohesive, boring & well blaaaaaah (that would be the technical term). Now this i believe is a phase every artist goes through ... 24 hours of being mad at perfectly good work. So to get myself out of this little funk i got working on a calendar ... i have already designed 4 templates this year for calendars & thanks to my funk didn't like any. So not only was i making a calendar of my Cambridge lensbaby work I was making a new template. See how artist funks go? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Well 2 days later ... not only did i love love my new template but wow did i love how cohesive & gorgeous my lensbaby work looked in the calendar. Yes we do have a tendency to swing between either end of the spectrum ... i believe it's known as the "artist temperament". Or maybe just a bad day. Anyways here is said calendar which can be purchased over at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/sweetdreamsandhoney"><span style="color: #b6d7a8;">sweet dreams & honey ...</span></a> in either a 7x5" loose leaf format or a 6x4" loose leaf format. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">& now that you've listened to me go on about well ummmm not much of any significance head on over to fellow sisterhood stories blogger <a href="http://www.jbaronephotography.org/2013/10/16/kline-creek-farm/"><span style="color: #b6d7a8;">Jessica</span></a> & see what pretties she has to share online. & once you are done there you can just continue on you round the blog circle all the way back to my ramblings. Happy hump day! xx</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It's sisterhood stories day ... yes i know one post every 2 weeks isn't exactly you know blogging often but it's more often than it was so we will consider it a start ... anyways i had an idea for a blog post & i totally forgot what it was (you me ... i distract easily) so instead you just get to look at pictures of Jacob & his friend when we went apple picking at Sandringham a couple of weeks ago. Yes possible a few too many pictures but to be honest is there such thing as too much cute? & Don't forget to head on over to the beautiful blog of <a href="http://www.jbaronephotography.org/">Jessica Barone</a> & check out what thoughts she has to share with the world on this somewhat blah wednesday! Have a great week. xx</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I love the word "wanderlust" ... it has a sound & a feel that go together, it conjures up images of mountains & deserts & trains & planes & free spirits. It inspires me to get out & see something new & with it i dream of adventures & new discoveries & pretty pictures. As far as words go it's one of my favourites but until now i have never been able to turn it into art. & this week i got two pictures that show it for me. & you know what i'm not done with the word, i think you will be seeing it show up in my shop over & over because of it's beauty & because in November i will be California bound for 30 days, a place that for me symbolizes everything the word means to me. Long winding roads through the Sierra Nevadas, the beauty of the hills reflected in Lake Isabella & the desert landscape. *bliss*</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Hello ... surprise ... happy hump day ... yep i'm actually blogging ... please now take a minute ... sit down ... breath ... & see what i have to say. I have become a member of a blogging circle (i believe that's what it's called) ... the Sisterhood Stories ... hopefully this will get me back into the swing of things because you know i like to blog. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So last thursday i set out on a little photographic road trip ... just me & the camera ... it was a screw the weather kind of day I just needed to get out shooting & escape this rut i had found myself in. & it was a wonderful adventure ... no munchkin (not that i don't love my adventures with the munchkin) ... & what turned out to be some beautiful weather. I headed out to the coast via a little random trip around the fens, 30 miles took me about 2 hours but it was all worth it, even the dreaded sand that naturally made it's way into everything. But more importantly for me at least i found myself inspired once again, so much beauty around me screaming to be photographed. There are certain things i need to do ... spend time alone, read books, run & take pretty pictures ... without the above i feel as if something is missing, the same way i feel as if something is missing when my son isn't around ... things that are all part of the person i am. & wow did it feel amazing!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So enough talk ... sit back ... relax ... take a load of your feet ... & check out some pretty pictures. & When you're done be sure to head on over to the beautiful blog of <a href="http://karriedrakeblog.com/">Karrie Drake </a>& see what words of wisdom this has to offer & of course check out some beautiful photos. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So one of my favourite things to do right now is to shoot film ... I love that i have the chance to experiment with my mountain of film cameras (i have getting up towards 100 of them), I love the anticipation of waiting for them to get developed. Right now it's a little hit & miss & since most of my cameras are vintage there are some "individualities" to them. But it's so much fun & i will improve! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">After a loooong night ... day two was spent on the Isle of Seil. Part of the Slate Islands, southwest of Oban it is linked to the "mainland" by the Clachen Bridge otherwise known as the "Bridge over the Atlantic" ... & boy did it have a hump! We explored the tiny little town of Ellenabeich (used in the filming of Ring of Bright Water) & had lunch at a lovely pub called the Tigh an Truish otherwise known as the House of Trouser. So today less words & more photos ... enjoy! xx</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Day one in Scotland ... we were lazy! I must add we had a very tired cranky little boy (little did we know just how bad that would get) & the weather wasn't great. It was grey & blaaaaaah ... cold i can handle, rain i can handle ... blah (that's a weather term by the way) i can't handle. It's had to be inspired by blah! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So we started off by checking out Oban ... it's got a harbor & a main road & not much more to it. & here you can see the very beginning of the boat pictures ... there will be a lot of them. I think they became my "bicycle" of Scotland! </span></div>

It was a little slice of Jacob heaven ... & i liked the jelly fishes! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So having explored the aquarium with a gradually increasingly grumpy Jacob we found a little haven of tranquility ... the sanctuary was on the shores of Loch Creran & oh my was it beautiful. The kind of beautiful that takes your breath away. It seemed i had officially arrived in Scotland (well the Scotland i pictured in my head). Unfortunately up to this point i had only taken my lensbaby with me but i knew i would be returning!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So it's been a while ... i am a really bad blogger ... but i will try again & get some pretties online for you. I will say in my defense that all kinds of stuff has been going on (great stuff) so blogging went to the way side. But i am back hopefully long term starting with our recent trip to Scotland. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">As you can imagine i shot A LOT ... both digital & film ... & i'm slowly working my way through the images. With this in mine you will get a number of Scotland posts an attempt to keep the number of images per post low. So this is the loooooong journey from my parents house to the cottage we would be staying in close to Oban on the north west coast of Scotland. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">& it wasn't a fun journey 1. because any length of time in a car with a toddler that exceeds 30 minutes is going to go wrong at some point & because the weather was horrendous ... it rained. Not a great start to the vacation. But me being me made the most of it ... reading my book & playing around with my camera. & as a result of my editing i have an idea for a project i hope to start working on next month (i just need to make a small purchase first). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So here we are ... everything was shot using my Nikon D800 with my Lensbaby Composer pro & either the Edge 80 optic or the Double Glass. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So this is a project i was inspired to do by another photographer ... shot entirely with my Lensbaby Composer & Sweet 35 I wanted to: </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">1. get to know my sweet 35 a little more</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">2. capture my son "in the moment".</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">As {portrait} photographers I feel as if i focus too much on you know having the image in focus than the moment itself so we loose something in the story telling. I wanted it to be more about him than me. & the sweet 35 was the perfect way of doing that. Manually focusing on a 2 year old boy who refused to sit still is a nightmare {try it ... i dare you} ... but it sums up so much of who he is. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So on Tuesday ... my son's second birthday ... it seemed like the perfect way of capturing his day. I focused solely on him at home, in the zoo {mama & Jacob's big day out} & then in the evening when Dada came home & we opened presents & ate cake. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So apologies for my inability to "edit" photos of my son but i hope you enjoy our wonderful day together ... </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">This morning i ran ... nothing unusual, i run 4 or 5 days a week. I hunted down a pair of socks (my running socks are left & right footed & i always have an issue finding a pair), pulled on the requisite outfit based on weather conditions & laced up my sneakers, bundled Jacob into the car & headed for base. We generally run on the flight line, they have a dedicated track which is great for the stroller & i find it so peaceful out there. I think there's something ironic in that, a place where planes take off & land, where engines can be heard running at all hours & our course the cars driving round the perimeter road. But the wildlife & the space & the planes bring a sense of peace to me. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I guess that's why i run ... because i find peace out there. Whether i am running with friends, hashing out the problems of the world or alone with just my music & the voices in my head i always finish feeling renewed & energized. Your body loosens up, the muscles stretch out & you find your stride ... it's a feeling of freedom & strength. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">But today i didn't feel that ... i forgot my music ... & the head winds were crazy ... & then there was my body, it just felt awkward & ragged like something was missing. & then i realized what was wrong, there was no sense of peace, no feeling like i was at one with everything around me just anger. Anger than someone could have taken this away from so many people. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The running community is both huge & tiny at the same time ... 6 degrees of separation doesn't even stand a chance. & in the past 48 hours i felt so many emotions, gratitude that some of those i love the most weren't in Boston, an immense sadness for the events of Monday afternoon & disbelief that someone could do this. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Runners don't care about your religion, your race or your sexuality, we don't care where you consider home, your gender or your age. In fact we don't even care whether you can run a 7 minute mile or a 12 minute mile because you are runner. You share a small smile with that stranger you pass running in the street, & there are those who push your through the finish line of your first 5k or half marathon. The friends who get up at 0600 in the middle of winter or pouring rain even when you both want to be tucked up in bed. & the 8 minute milers who stay by your side ever step of a long run supporting despite the fact they could have left your ass a long way back. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I am angry that someone tried to take this away from us ... stole some of what we love & replaced it with pain. Angry that innocent lives were taken & that people will never be able to find that peace again when out on the road or through the woods & along the beach. I am angry about the world my son is going to grow up in where violence comes easier than talking. That a simple moment of joy can be ruined for nothing. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I am writing this simple because i need to get it out my system, because i need to find my own sense of peace again in something that has brought me friendship, made me stronger both physically & mentally & makes me happy. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So i admit i haven't been great at this whole blogging thing ... life just kind of you know happened! But here i am today with some pretties to share (& i have a whole lot more waiting to blog about so i should probably get on that). Anyways these are all film ... something i am playing around with right now. I have a huge collection of cameras I want to shoot with & i was lucky enough to be blessed with some free film to test out. So enough talk here are some of my recent favourites ...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">These were shot in cambridge one morning in March (i think) ... it's my first time shooting b&w in probably about 10 years. But i love these. They were shot on a Zenit ET that i have discovered comes with a few light leaks but then again i did only pay £20 for it & it has a beautiful lens! & they are shot on Kodak Tri-x ISO 100. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">& here's a few from deepest darkest north west England ... The Wirral & Merseyside to be exact. Shot in the past few weeks whilst i was up there "working" (I have so very many pretties to share with you from that trip) on a Lubitel 166B on Kodak Portra 120 at ISO 160. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I do have to admit i am loving the "individuality" that comes with shooting with my film cameras, i never know just what i will get. & with the exception of maybe touching up some "dust" these are all straight out of the camera. I can't wait to print some up for my home (maybe one day i will get to do it by hand again) & possible offer them for sale!</span></div>
