i like it (most of the time)

I think this camera needs a name…I am leaning towards Minx. Or Trixie. Not sure yet. Our morning looked like this through her eyes… The camera arrived with the mail yesterday so I have not had a chance to give it a proper play beyond charging the battery and adding my own SD card, but [...]

It is true, I have an Android phone and still post some of my “phone-tos” to Instagram. The reason I do this is, for over a year now the majority of my phone shots went into a Facebook album where no one but friends could see them and no prints or magnets or books or fun things [...]

It really is kind of hard to ride the momentum of the New Year’s great intentions and get back to work with a bang when there are three children not-so-silently staring me down from the other side of my desk as I try to type this. While I might really be eager to knock things [...]

My kids are obsessed with trains, big and little. Mostly it is the little boy who is so keen. Some of our favorite together time has been spent packing up a picnic lunch and heading down to watch the metro trains as they head to and from the city. We have yet to get out [...]

Lessons from dad.

by sesame on August 14, 2011

The two part sponsored blog post series for Australian Father’s Day has delivered the challenge this time to write about what I learned from my Dad. It has been nice to have the prompts to reflect back on how much my father meant to me. Hardly a day goes by where I don’t stop to [...]

As the Australian father’s day comes up I am thinking about my husband, the father of my kids, but I am also thinking about my dad. It is many many years now since my father passed away, but he is still so present in my life. He gave me the gift of photography by footing [...]
