It transpires that Amelie is quite a fan of bubbles. We have these bubbles that don’t pop when they hit carpet, or land on hands or anything like that. Lovely. I thought photos of our lounge bathing in bubbles with a lomo would’ve been great, but I don’t have a lomo or the patience to clean up the sticky crap these bubbles leave behind so, settle for Charlotte’s hand with some bubbles on, like she’s been doing the washing up in a giant’s kitchen.
Annoyingly, I’m really disappointed with this. It was such a beautiful morning, and there were loads of ops on the way in this morning, most on the motorway so I couldn’t really stop (I will one day!), this one was just before I got to work. The annoying thing about this photo is that the light forced me to use a wide aperture, which has forced the background out of focus.
Charlotte still loved it, so I decided to post it anyway, but I’m definitely not as happy with it as I thought I would be.
Living in Southampton, we’re exposed to quite a lot of “art” on stalls in the marketplace and we both have an affinity for graffiti (amongst other things). There is a great artist who sells pieces on the market, who we’ve bought from a few times before and we just got some more at the weekend. I love the texture of canvas, and I really love how the DoF here draws your eyes into the focal area.
