Photographs of pretty things

I have entered a couple of tigerprints design competitions with my illustration work but this months is a little different. They are asking for "photographic blanks" so images for photo cards which can be used for many occasions. 

I have been trawling through my archives of old photographs to find the most commercial images I can find of flowers and colourful happy things as I from following the results of past competitions I know they go for super commercial stuff. Still, I thought I would share the images I came up with as they are all pretty nice to look at...

Running away from uni work...

... to the beach!

It was my sister's birthday last week and my family were down in our caravan in Cornwall for a few days. Since I just finished a deadline (by no means the last one unfortunately) I figured I could take a break to go and see everyone and enjoy the sunshine.

It was a beautiful couple of days, we managed to visit 3 different beaches and eat lunch in the sunshine two days running. 

I didn't take my SLR but used my small camera which actually surprised me with how decent the pictures came out! If you are looking for a compact camera get a Lumix the lenses are epic :)

Lets go to the beach

Had some friends visiting us this weekend which meant all of yesterday was spent hungover (I also went out again last night-double hangover!) and today we decided to take a trip to the beach as the weather was really nice.

We drove to Seaton beach in Cornwall, haven't been there before but there are some really nice rock formations and the rocks are all different colours and patterns (I used to do goegraphy so I like these sorts of things!)

Anyho, took the camera out so heres a few photos, if you ever get a chance to go there there is a really nice cafe' by the beach, its sortof sheltered and open at the same time, really good food and nice views :)
