A World Where Dreams Are Real

On my way home on Friday, I pulled over my car to make this picture, thinking all the while that it was the embodiment of those song lyrics from lod faves of mine, The Cure...
Enjoy.
"I lift my lips from kissing you
To touch the wind that whispers through
This twilight garden turns into
A world where dreams are real"
~This Twilight Garden - The Cure~

Lighthouse Lane

"Leaves of Grass"
I stand as on some mighty eagle’s beak,
Eastward the sea absorbing, viewing,
(nothing but sea and sky,)
The tossing waves, the foam,
the ships in the distance,
The wild unrest, the snowy, curling caps -
-that inbound urge and urge of waves,
Seeking the shores forever.
··· Walt Whitman ···

Inside

I have been cramming a lot into my days the last few weeks. There has not been much time to blog between the activites. I have been delivering alternative process workshops, teaching people how to take photographs and develop and print them and also making and listing and selling new work on all of my galleries. There have been a lot of late nights recently and as I type my eyelids are feeling heavy and ready to close for the night.

Blow blow thou winter wind



Blow, blow, thou winter wind,
Thou art not so unkind
As man's ingratitude;
Thy tooth is not so keen
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude.
Heigh-ho! sing heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly:
Then, heigh-ho! the holly!
This life is most jolly.

Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky,
Thou dost not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As friend remember'd not.
Heigh-ho! sing heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly:
Then, heigh-ho! the holly!
This life is most jolly.

~ William Shakespeare

Childhood Cheer


What with all this freezing weather, harsh winds and those looming grey skies, I am feeling the need for a bit of cheer. Luckily for me, I have been so busy over the past few months that I have not had time to process many of the lovely summery photos I made a while ago.

Today my studio was a bright and suny place thanks to these lovely golden buttercup photographs.

Incidentally, in the language of flowers the Buttercup represents childhood, cheerfulness and the desire for riches.

Happy Monday xx
