When Inspiration Is Too Much

Amanda | August 25, 2010

If you are anything like me, you spend a lot of time pouring over other people’s photographs on photography websites, blogs and in books and magazines. There is such an amazing truckload of inspiration out there for all kinds of photography no matter what your needs. I sometimes share some of my photography inspirations here [...]

Amanda | August 16, 2010

The lovely Alex of Gypsy Girl’s Guide is about to become a mumma and in her planning and absence from the blog, she has asked some wonderful people to do some guest posting. I am very honoured to have a guest post of mine at Gypsy Girl’s Guide. I wrote about my experiences as a [...]

The Impossible Project’s PX70 Colour Film

Amanda | August 12, 2010

The latest instalment in the ever evolving instant film parade from The Impossible Project hit the shelves last week. I received my first batch of PX70 Colour Shade on Friday and have been playing around with it all week.

Polaroid happiness is upon me right now as two exciting little packages have arrived in the past few days.

In a photography rut? Need a little push to get you motivated and shooting? A photography project is a great way to get some inspiration going.

Summer Baseball On Film

Amanda | July 15, 2010

One thing about living abroad that I find totally inspirational is just getting out there and doing things that you wouldn’t ordinarily ever do at home. One thing that I can say I’ve never done in Australia, is go to a baseball game. Seeing as Vancouver doesn’t have a Major Baseball League team, we go [...]

A Time To Be Brave

Amanda | June 14, 2010

Hello weekday readers. I hope your weekend was sunny and marvelous. I spent my first real summer evening out with friends on a restaurant patio eating good food and it was Vancouver awesome. I plan on doing that many more times over the next few months. I just read this little nugget on Keri Smith’s [...]

Artful Blogging on Film

Amanda | June 8, 2010

Yes, I’ve already talked about being published in Artful Blogging, but I wanted to share some pictures I took of my article in the magazine. I didn’t actually have a copy of my own when I shared the news, so it’s pretty awesome to actually have it in my hands. There are some gorgeous other [...]

Do you see possible awesome photograph options while you’re out and about but don’t have the nerve to shoot them? Do you ever wish that you had more camera courage whilst out in public?

Some Springtime Polaroid Goodness

Amanda | June 1, 2010

During my absence from Vancouver, flowers have sprouted up all over the place. Fields are over run with wild flowers while gardens are brimming with colour and happiness. Secretly they whisper to me with a little nod and a wink letting me know that everything is going to be OK. The sadness that sits low [...]
