A little bit of creativity...

It's amazing how a little bit of creativity feeds my soul...  In my latest venture on the journey for my Diploma in Photography, I participated in a Concepts class.  For the first few weeks of class I felt as though all of my creative energy had been zapped from me and I found myself struggling to know what I would like to photograph. For me it was a bit like the old saying... "How long is a piece of string"...  only I didn't know which end of the string to start at!

Then a couple of weeks before assessment, I started to discover my love for pinhole photography. I had tried to make a camera out of paper, however my lack of patience and dislike for reading instructions soon got the better of me and I set about finding my own "there-must-be-an-easier-way-than-this" way.  So my digitial "pin-hole" camera with self-made lens was born. And I love it like a mother loves her new born baby. (For those that aren't sure of what a pin-hole camera is, basically I made my own lens out of a lid and pricked the end of it with a pin so that I could let some light in and onto the image sensor! It gives a soft, grainy effect with a beautiful vignette.)

So although the Concepts class started out to be my hardest class of all, I have found that with a little bit of persistence, a dash of creativity and a whole lot of falling in love with simple photography again, I have delivered the prints for assessment that I am most proud of to date. 

I thought I'd share them with you!

Also had a lot of fun creating some "postcards" with a number of my images.

Happy Easter everyone!
