HAPPY HAPPY

Here's wishing you ALL a very Merry Christmas

May the year ahead be filled with excitement
and may you all "ROCK OUT" to your own beat!

Love from me

SUPER COOLNESS!

If you don't agree that this is just super cool then you seriously need a talking to ha ha ha! This is such an awesome way to wrap up some presents - I think I'd wrap up some empty boxes and keep them stacked just so i can keep smiling every time I see it! Click on the link below to find the wrapping paper. Unfortunately for us South African locals it is obviously international!

On their website they have the following to say "About This Project":

We created this project to launch Gift Couture, a creative and innovative wrapping paper company. Gift Couture will offer high-quality wrapping paper sets that feature original photography and design. Our main goal is to produce unique papers that coordinate together into conceptualized themes and sets. This is exemplified in the Cheeseburger set that we chose to use as this initial project. This includes 5 different wrapping paper designs; a bun, hamburger, cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes, all of the components of a Cheeseburger!

On my christmas wish list!

These umbrellas are just oozing AWESOMENESS - seriously santa, bring it on!! Guy de Jean deserves some respect for these. He specializes in designing one of a kind umbrellas! The umbrella on top was done for lingerie brand Chantal Thomass and the one on the bottom, the corset for luxury fashion brand Jean Paul Gaultier. Check out his website: http://www.guydejean.com/

AWESOME advertising

The text on the advert reads:

(Left Brain)

“I am the left brain. I am a scientist. A mathematician. I love the familiar. I categorize. I am accurate. Linear. Analytical. Strategic. I am practical. Always in control. A master of words and language. Realistic. I calculate equations and play with numbers. I am order. I am logic. I know exactly who I am.”

(Right Brain)

“I am the right brain. I am creativity. A free spirit. I am passion. Yearning. Sensuality. I am the sound of roaring laughter. I am taste. The feeling of sand beneath bare feat. I am movement. Vivid colors. I am the urge to paint on an empty canvas. I am boundless imagination. Art. Poetry. I sense. I feel. I am everything I wanted to be.”

Being on holiday is bitter sweet... Bitter as you know you've got to go back to work and back to reality... Sweet because there is definitely no place like home!!

Personal Photography #3

Animal photography is always fun and tricky at the same time. You end up snapping away liking a crazy person and pray that you got that "aaahhhh" shot you dream about. The best advise I can give anyone trying to photograph an animal is (if possible) get down on your knees (and pray) to get eye-level with the animal. This makes a huge difference and allows the viewer to see the animal up close, almost as if they were as big as the animal it self. I know this isn't always possible but from the photos I've uploaded I'm sure you can see that it really makes the difference. Also, never forget that it's vital to try and capture the personality of the animal you're photographing. There's no point in trying to take a photo of your dog (who is naturally lazy and spends all day on the coutch) running around like mad outside. He won't want to do it and you'll just leave feeling frustrated. Most of all KEEP IT SIMPLE! These are just a few tips I can give you but there are loads of tips on the internet so go ahead and google it if you're still a little unsure! HAVE FUN!!!!
