Spring

Spring has sprung! I always find it such a awesome time of the year.  Soon the trees won't be skeletons anymore.  It's like there are promises floating around in the air.  Well that, and hay fever...eish!!

Work has been a bit crazy the last few weeks.  I have not had to work late in almost 5 years, so it's been a bit of a shock to the system.  Even though I feel a wee bit tired, I wake up before my alarm goes off just because my room is flooded with light.  As I was lying in bed this morning, I had a little chat with myself (yes, I talk to myself) about things.  "We" chatted about dreams, hopes and things to come.  Sometimes I believe you have to close your eyes, take a leap of faith.  Inside of us there are infinite possibilities if we open ourselves up to inspiration.  That can be something different to everybody.  I find inspiration in a beautiful picture.  They tell me stories. So, without getting off track, I have decided to throw myself wholeheartedly into photography.  In learning as much as a I can from people who know what they are doing.  From my own mistakes.  From others mistakes.  From every source available.  Who knows where this will lead, but all I do know is that it gives me immense pleasure and I feel free when I'm looking at the world through the view finder.

I went out into Hyde Park yesterday in my lunch hour and that 30 minutes of sunshine gave me such a boost!  That and the Magnolia trees in bloom took my breath away. (quite literally...atchoo!) 

 

Be encouraged, take heart, get some sunshine, take the route less travelled, let your heart sing.

Make Joseph Kony famous!

Injustice in any form is evil, but even more so when people (especially innocent children) are harmed through it.  I first heard of Joseph Kony a few years ago, and I support an organisation called Watoto who works with these ex child soldiers, helping rehabilitate them and integrating them back into society in Uganda. 

Now, these guys at Invisible Children are taking a stand and they are creating a massive cry all over the world.  If you are on facebook, you would most likely have noticed the links and comments today.  Help spread the word! Pray! Donate if you can!

Below is a video that will thell you all you need to know.


Stop at nothing. Spread the word.  We are going to make Kony famous!!!
