Operation Vendetta

Remember, remember the 5th of November! I know, a bit late, but for Bonfire Night this year, me and the fella headed in to Central London for Operation Vendetta. This was a protest organised by Anonymous UK and is getting steadily bigger by the year. It was much fun; we were given chocolate cupcakes (delish I might add), there were fire artists, rappers, dancers and an excellent atmosphere. It was the most enjoyable protest I've been on, there were even hugs being given out to strangers. A feel good atmosphere all round and a really good laugh. Here are a few of the photos I took on the night.

                                   


The only problem with this protest was that with everyone wearing their V masks, we all became, well, anonymous! I know that's the idea but for someone who struggles to get their bearings at the best of times, I need friends around me to get me home, no good when you can't tell who's who! 






Not sure if any of you lovely people looking at this have ever been on a protest before? Would love to hear from you if you have. I find them really empowering, groups of people together who want better for others and not just themselves. It might not seem like a difference is being made but standing up for something you strongly believe in is admirable in my eyes. And you just never know what might come of it. Everything has a starting point. Hmm, deep!






I like the church behind the trees and how the lights hitting it. If I look at it out of the corner of my eye, it looks like some sort of ghost like child, creepy.

A mish mash of my mind

Have lots and lots of photos still to go through an edit and an exhibition to prepare for! So here are some photos I've had for a while that don't necessarily fit in with other blog posts. These images are all completely unconnected and are photos I've taken whilst out and about, been at home or wee little experiments. A mish mash of what goes on in my head, if you like. I like, I hope you do!








This is a framed picture we have in our living room and just happened to look over one day to find this exotic looking bug climbing up it. I still have no idea what this little fella is but how perfectly placed was he for this photo? I love it, serendipity strikes again! It just seems so fitting that he put himself right there on our joker and the colours really set each other off. Love it! Thank you Mr Bug. :)











I love how just a boring old pavement can be transformed into an interesting photo. Or at least it is in my opinion! I always like lines and like my lines wonky so I love how this has worked in this image. I don't know if it's just me but when I look at the photo, it looks like a parallelogram instead of the rectangle it is because of the way the lines draw your eyes in. Freaky deaky!



Not a fan of eight legged creatures but I do love looking at their webs, I find them fascinating! This one had set up camp in my back garden. I hope I did his little home justice with my photo.




My mum always told me not to play with my food but I just can't help it!

Miya

Just a mini post this week. Lots more photos to go through and edit presently, plus some other bits in the pipeline (watch this space!) but wanted to get something up and what better than the lovely Miya, whom I had the pleasure of meeting a few weeks ago! A very happy, bubbly little girl, I wanted her to feel comfortable in her own home rather than going to a (potentially) scary place that she wasn't used to. Here are a selection from the shoot......


If you'd like me to do a mini baby shoot (that's a mini shoot, not a mini baby, although I'm open to all possibilities!) then please get in contact using the contact tab or call me, the number is at the top of the page. I know I've said it one or two times before but I love every bit of feedback I get so please do feel free to drop me a little note. I'd love to hear from you!
