I have just found this photographer Nirrimi Firebrace's beautiful work. The images are so lovely and she has a gorgeous blog of her life and adventures with her partner who is also a photographer and her daughter. It is worth a look and quite inspiring not to mention she is just 20 years old but she has been taking photos like these since she was 14. Wow

game changer

first good photo in four years

Just before my first son was born I bought a new camera a Cannon G10. A few of my friends had them and found them to be fantastic but no such luck for me. It seemed as though the light meter was broken and the shutter speed. Every photo came out blurry and it was impossible to take any good indoor shot even in a bright room. Needless to say the babies arrived and I have millions of crappy blurry photos of them and all their milestones. I sent the camera off and got it fixed twice but each time it came back the same. Finally, almost four years later, this week I called the shop I bought it from to see if the warranty was still valid. Apparently if you return it for the golden third time you are entitled to a replacement camera. Alas the warranty had expired but by chance the woman on the phone said maybe try a faster memory card.....What? Why had no one had ever mentioned it before in all my countless attempts to get to the bottom of it no one told me and I feel like an idiot that I didn't know. Well I got the new card and last night took the best photo I have in years in low light, inside with my new ultra 10 speed memory card woo hooooo!!!

priceless moment of my two sons meeting 

each other for the first time,

Turning Two

My youngest son turned two and was so super excited it was his birthday. We gave him a scooter which he loves, and I made him a super deluxe cardboard kitchen with three modular parts. A stove with turning knobs, a fridge with freezer and fridge section and a sink with cupboards under neath. He loved it and straight away made us all coffee and sausages for breakfast. 

Ikea Hacker

Wow this is so awesome a designer called Andreas Bhend has re configured Ikea products into way more wonderful out comes. Look at this table he has turned into a kids bike complete with instructions amazing!!!

I've been through the desert like an egg with no shell..

We found an egg with no shell in the hen house and I have to say its freaked me out a little. It was the strangest feeling seeing something so familiar feel so different. You could see the yolk through the membrane when you held it up to the light. It feels like some voodoo omen or something....what does it mean?

Frozen

Agh its winter here and it sucks. We are on our fifth week of asthma/croup crap-a-thon with children waking every 20 minutes literally all night with the most full on cough, poor things. This photo from Mount Royal Mint made me think maybe its not all so bad in the tundra, these animals are very sweet, I like their expressions.

Pet Dinosaurs

There is a massive demolition of an old tannery going on behind our house as the entire street on both sides is levelled to make way for apartments. It is literally shaking the house and my nerves, but I have to say there is something quite magical about having two pet dinosaurs in the back yard.

Kido

My cards and posters will soon be available in a wonderful store in Sydney called Kido. I am very excited. And I think we all need these slippers from their on line store to celebrate.
