So, completely apart from my other sites, this is for me. For other people to discover. I hope that one day the excitement i feel when i see one of those other blogs has an update can be passed on to someone else seeing this blog in their feed too. I'll be a very happy girl when that happens :)<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_l-8ASki9fNI/SBmu6A0RAbI/AAAAAAAAABM/t6zpFkRe8DE/s1600-h/forget_me_not_by_ladytwiglet.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_l-8ASki9fNI/SBmu6A0RAbI/AAAAAAAAABM/t6zpFkRe8DE/s320/forget_me_not_by_ladytwiglet.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195375956823441842" /></a><br /><br />And here, in the not-so-sunny UK, it is now officially spring. I judge spring by how early or late i take macros of the small pot of forget-me-nots in my back yard :) Truly one of my favourite flowers, mainly because its so tiny but so perfectly formed, and the colors are so beautiful. <br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_l-8ASki9fNI/SBmvWQ0RAcI/AAAAAAAAABU/oUQscyhH2sQ/s1600-h/forget_me_not_2_by_ladytwiglet.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_l-8ASki9fNI/SBmvWQ0RAcI/AAAAAAAAABU/oUQscyhH2sQ/s320/forget_me_not_2_by_ladytwiglet.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195376442154746306" /></a><br /><br />futher evidence of spring is the beautiful evening sun we can get here, when its not raining of course :) how i adore this particular shot, not posed in any way, i just aimed the camera and shouted her name :)<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_l-8ASki9fNI/SBmwBw0RAdI/AAAAAAAAABc/03-3N9cuqfs/s1600-h/evening_sun_by_ladytwiglet.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_l-8ASki9fNI/SBmwBw0RAdI/AAAAAAAAABc/03-3N9cuqfs/s320/evening_sun_by_ladytwiglet.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195377189479055826" /></a><br /><br /><br />this evening i have a meeting with a local wedding photographer to see about the possibility of an assistants position, initially unpaid, but the experience will be amazing. He knows i am pregnant, whether thats an issue i dont know, but as far as i'm concerned photography is the only reason i would put my child in any form of daycare in the first 2 years, so lets hope he sees my passion and my commitment to this and takes me on. i'm nervous as hell, i've never interviewed or discussed this kind of thing with relation to photography, but whatever happens, good or bad, i know that this is the path i want to take.<br /><br />If anyone visits my blog i would sorely appreciate some words of encouragement, if nothing else to show that i'm not the only one who reads this :)<br /><br />Have a wonderful day!

It went wonderfully well, especially as <a href="http://tehserendipity.deviantart.com/">Hazel</a> is a good friend and wonderful model, and the ever inspirational <a href="http://www.andrewf.co.uk/">Andrew Farrington</a> was lovely enough to let me hijack his studio and play with his very expensive lighting systems!<br /><br /><img src="http://tn3-1.deviantart.com/fs25/300W/i/2008/113/3/2/sweetness_and_light_by_ladytwiglet.jpg"/><br />obviously a lovely non-nude shot to start off with :) technically an accident as the backlight was too strong but i think it worked!<br /><br /><img src="http://tn3-1.deviantart.com/fs30/300W/i/2008/111/7/3/hello_sailor_by_ladytwiglet.jpg"/><br />the obligatory cute bum shot :)<br /><br /><img src="http://tn3-1.deviantart.com/fs25/300W/i/2008/110/f/e/plastic_by_ladytwiglet.jpg"/><br />and the very scary blow-up doll shot. i do love this one very much but i do find it very frightening :D<br /><br />So tonight i have a shoot with a burlesque model, <a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=111452115">Heather Sweet</a>, AKA the UK's finest political burlesquer, i'm very much looking forward to it, shes a wonderful girl and a great laugh!<br /></span>Donnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11261786325596557348noreply@blogger.com0
