Anyone Know where I can Buy some time?




Self Portrait. Photographing beans soaking in a bowl this morning, this shot before I pulled the focus. There are small moments in every day like this, if I notice them. Lately I've been too busy working into every moment, trying to keep up with deadlines and commitments, and the moments slip by.

Photographs I didn't take this week;
First day of winter - riding to work through the soft heavy mist. The fog so white and still that the city disappeared, the black lines of the tree lungs hanging on to their last yellow leaves, the white drops of fog clinging to my yellow knitted gloves.

New friends visiting, sitting in the sun of our backyard - tiny baby Amaryn, her delicate sleeping fingers holding the edge of the fabric sling as she sleeps heavy and soft. .. The abundant energy of little Peter, his absolute joy in following the cat around the garden, the spreading of dandelions and just hanging out.

The green-ness of the garden- the overflowing water tank and the lush knee-high grass. The abundance of winter so refreshing and beautiful. Warragul greens and nasturtium taking over the lawn, violets in the shade of the house, a few hopeful signs of nettle and borage.
