2014 was a very interesting year to say the least. At the end of 2013, I was re-boosting my love of photography and was determined to make 'a go' of it. Unfortunately, a sad state of affairs ensued which caused me to put my life into some perspective. I now have a beautiful daughter, Aliya who honestly makes me smile every minute of the day.
I don't want to make promises because it will only disappoint me if I don't stick to it but I want to upload more images and I want to take on projects and show my creativity. So watch this space I suppose.

Over the last couple of months I've been busy...
I've taken a few more images:
I just need to remember to get out more! I had so much fun taking these shots, and realised that if I'm not out there taking shots then I'm not really going to get anywhere. Ha.
Seeing as it's the Christmas period as well, it's possibly the best time to get some shots down. I also have some shoots planned but I'm finding that I'm having a confidence block - one of them is a fitness/underwear shoot with a male colleague of my boyfriend's. I'm totally grateful he wants me to do the pictures but confidence is a HUGE issue of mine
Also the other shoot is a 50's shoot with one of my work colleagues. Again, I'm so frickin' nervous.
Must quell this somehow.
Hmm.

I am back after what seemed like forever.
I know many people often take 'breaks' and come back to the usual grind but for me, my so called break was for 2 whole years and frankly, I do not know what the usual grind is.
I'm taking that as a good thing; I lacked confidence and faith that I could produce good images that it was my biggest downfall. But the main reason why I stopped photography was this: I had a shoot with a friend (who no longer is a friend) and I accidentally lost her images (I thought I had saved them onto a harddrive but I must of thought I did and removed the originals from the camera). I was beside myself and really upset. I told my friend and she decided I wasn't worth her time anymore.
Understandably, this caused further upset and I convinced myself that I'm not actually cut out for it. So I stopped. As much as my partner kept telling me I was good, I just thought he was trying to be nice. I shrugged it off but deep down I missed it. So much.
So, 2 years on after constant pestering from my partner and other friends/relatives I'm giving it another go. I'm setting up shoots with strangers (on forums ofcourse) and I'm getting back to submitting art. My images are old but I love them. My hand is in cast currently but I'm pretty confident that I will do okay.
No more quitting.
