  6. The Gallery – Shoes

    September 7, 2011 by Lauren

    This weeks Gallery theme is shoes.  Being at my parents house I couldn’t take photos of my epic collection that my husband hates so had to think a little bit harder.  I was at a friends house the other day and she showed me her shoe closet.  I swear there were about 150 shoe boxes in there!  I was so overwhelmed that I totally missed the opportunity to take a photograph to share with you all!

  7. The Gallery – World Photography Day

    August 24, 2011 by Lauren

    I love taking photos, Spud is 2.5 years old and has over 3000 photos on my pc.  That doesn’t include the ones that were deleted.  When Tara at Sticky Fingers announced that World Photography day was this weeks theme I was a little apprehensive.  I love taking photos but I’m not exactly a master photographer.  I take photos of fast moving children, probably one of the hardest subjects to capture.  My photos are my memories, some are blurry, some are out of focus and most would have professional photographers cringing.

    Then I read this quote:

    “Today, we take our photographs for granted. But next time you’re flicking though photos from your last holiday, remember that there was once a time when photography didn’t exist. A time when those precious moments couldn’t be captured, uploaded and shared”.

    I realised that it wasn’t about skill but about how amazing it is that we have technology to freeze moments in time.  It was about my love of photographs and my love of memories.  My children are growing at speed right and in the blink of an eye they will be adult men towering over me.  I chose to make a memory of my two gorgeous boys and the joy that the simple things bring.


  8. The Gallery – Black and White

    August 17, 2011 by Lauren

    For this weeks theme I tried to think outside the box and ran through everything that was black and white.  Zebra’s, Penguins, Newspapers, Skunks etc etc but then hit a brick wall.  I can’t just walk down the road and find a Zebra to photograph.

    I love black and white photos and think they look really smart displayed on walls in black frames. It’s quite handy because I also wanted to display Sonogram pictures and it all ties in nicely.

    This is our living room wall

    Now almost 3 years ago we moved house and I found the perfect frame for our other wall.  It came from Matalan and has photographs of models in.  We put it up on the wall and got on with sorting out the rest of the house.  Before we knew it Spud was born and I still hadn’t gotten around to putting our own photos in the frame.  People would come to our house and look at the photos commenting things like “Wow you’ve been diving?!” and “What a lovely family you have.” Most of the time I would admit it but other times I’d play along secretly chuckling to myself.

    Last August we moved house again and the Hubby put it on the wall.  The task kept getting bumped to the bottom of the list until one day last month I decided enough was enough.  The Hubby caught me browsing all of our photos and declared that actually he quite liked our Matalan family so they have stayed put and still shine out of the frame showing off activities that we can only dream of!
