It may be raining today, but last weekend the sun was stunning!

Oh Lensbaby, how I love thee.

As I was heading to an assignment the other day, this fantastic fog descended and I swerved into a cemetery to snap some spooky shots. Yay fog! The coolest thing about the cemetery, however, was this grave! FAUST! With crazy shrubbery. So awesome.

As the temps here reach boiling point, I thought it might be time to reflect on cooler times… yet with a hellfire theme? Hmmm… A winter image from the beginning of a roll of redscale I just got developed! Guess I’ve been working on it for awhile eh? These trees, from Stewart Park in Ithaca, may look familiar, as I seem to shoot them a lot. But how can I resist?

Gaudi knew a thing or two about geometry. Mmmm…

Had to embark on another sad transatlantic trip, during the height of the volcanic ash chaos no less, so we ended up in Barcelona before taking an epic train journey across France and England. I managed to snap a few shots in the magical city, mostly on my iPhone again.

The trip to the family (in laws) farm in South Hetton had a surreal feel, and I took quite a few walks by myself or with the sweet old dog, Gypsy. This was taken while wandering at dusk in a bit of a daze fueled by physical and emotional exhaustion. I used a combination of cheapo stick-on starburst Jelly Lens and the Hipstamatic app on my iPhone.

Part of my recent trip included a short return to Glasgow, where I was delighted to find an adorable new cafe on the second floor of a suddenly cool vintagey De Courcy’s Arcade on Ashton Lane.

I’ve just returned from an exhausting journey. This about sums up my physical and emotional state at the moment.

The first leg involved an insane 12 hour stint in London (after a sleepless 7-hour flight and nearly sleepless night prior) and the last leg was another sleepless 8-hour flight followed by an 8-hour layover in Detroit, much of which was spent wandering with iPhone in hand on an airport photo safari. Lucky you!

I’m afraid I shall be incommunicado for the next two weeks, as I’m off on a last-minute trip abroad. In the meantime, try not to get too dizzy staring into the soft swirl of this cool cactus.
