Weekly Photo Challenge: Dreaming
When I read the title of this week’s photo challenge and that it was all about long exposures, my mind immediately went to some photos I took on Ile aux Nattes, off the coast of Madagascar, a few years ago. I’ve tried some reasonably successful star trails, I’ve done some dreamy-looking shots of people dancing (at a slow shutter speed) and this one of a girl running (which I took yesterday) has a funky feel to it.

But the photos on Ile aux Nattes remain the most dreamy – including this one, with the camera set on a table in front of our seaside cottage.

If I didn’t need to stick to a long-exposure photo I would feature this one, from the same holiday, because I am again dreaming of island adventures, or anywhere where I could breathe properly again.

And then, of course, there’s this one of young Frances, dreaming perhaps of a future as a model, or just a future without me bugging her to model for me.

Sorry, it’s been a barren time creatively … Hopefully we’ll get back up to standard next week.

They called me weed
I have been blogging here since around April 2011 - my little place on the blogosphere to express myself creatively. As a teenager I used to write a diary - in fact, as a 17-year-old living in Belgium, I wrote religiously every day. Fortunately the Internet didn't exist back then because my ramblings as a teenager were ever-so-slightly dark, cynical and depressing. You won't find much of that here. Also, mostly, I try not to get too deep or philosophical in this forum - I'd like my photography to uplift and inspire, and, where I can, I try to bring a bit of humour into my writing too. I've been fortunate enough to travel extensively and have made many friends across the globe. This is my spot to keep in touch with them.

all great captures!
Looks like skew horizons are back in vogue!
Old photos from when they were in vogue!
It doesn’t matter how many forums you join, a few good slaps from a real friend and your photography is improved!
You have a good point there…. Bring on the slaps!
