on the road again

This past week I was on the road... my job takes me to many places - it's one thing I love about it! When I was a little kid I never knew what I wanted to be when I grew up... the only ting I knew was that I didn't want to be stuck inside all day, everyday - I wanted adventure!

It wasn't until I was in year 12 when I studied black and white photography. I learnt so much... my mind absorbed it all like a sponge & I fell in love. I still remember my teacher handing me an A+ for an assignment and noting on the report that I had a real photographer's eye. That's probably the moment when I thought I could do this forever! That was ultimately the turning point for me and I have never looked back. 

Like I said - my job takes me to many places and this past week I did some work for Coast Magazine www.coastmagazine.net I got to travel around the country side, taking lots of photos and meeting lots of friendly people. On one of the days I traveled to a little town called Foster. It's surrounded by rolling green hills, and not far from the ocean. As I drove towards the town I was followed by a very dark rain cloud. Every time there was a break in the trees off the side of the road I had to look - the view was amazing! So, I had to stop and take a picture.

Whenever I'm on the road, I'm always stopping & taking photos along the way. If my husband is with me he gets a little annoyed sometimes (especially if we're running late!). But most times, he understands : )

the rain will wash away my day

Sometimes it feels like I have a billion things going on at once... My mind feels like it's filled to capacity and I have trouble remembering everything. 

Sometimes I have a bad day, as I'm sure you do too. My bad days are when my mind feels like it explodes, like there's too much going on and I feel the stress levels rising like the temperature on a hot summer's day. 

After a bad day, there's nothing better than a hot shower... To me, it washes away my day. I feel refreshed and new after a hot shower and I wonder if the earth feels the same way after a storm... 

I watched this rain cloud set in over a small country town. It's dark grey clouds, contrasting against the green grass, caught my eye. I love rain after a hot day. It always feels better after rain - the roads look shinier & everything just feels refreshed. 

I had to stop and take a picture of this rain cloud I seen today. There's just something so intriguing about them....

four photos | Nat & Rhys

Here are our four different photos from Nat and Rhys' wedding.

Nat & Rhys got married at the wonderful Archie's Creek. The day was warm with a cool breeze and the sky was filled with clouds... it drizzled a little but thankfully no one got wet. And just as we finished our location photos the rain set in - perfect timing!

More details & photos to follow soon . . .
