In honour of post number #30 I was going to do something spectacular involving rather a lot of bells and whistles.
But
I am in Melbourne tapping this out on my iPhone and I cant find the bells and whistles App.
I also would like to apologise in advance as I don’t reckon I will be able to look at your posts until sometime tomorrow when I am home again.
The Blurb.
I take a lot of photos and most of them are just sitting around in folders on my desktop not doing anything. I thought that a dedicated post once a week would be a good way to share some of these photos that otherwise wouldn’t be seen by anyone other than me.
I am also remarkably absent minded and I put photos into folders and think that I will publish them later on and then then I never do.
So I have started a photo meme that anyone can join in and play as well. The rules are so simple as to be virtually non existent.

The Photos
I retrieved these photos from my archives, they were all taken with my lumix point and shoot in August 2009.
You often end up with deliberately blurry photos.
I had a photographic epiphany yesterday.
The Spouse and I went down to the river for a bit of a fish and it was bloody freezing. The wind coming off the water was icy and I spent most of the time hiding in the car messing about with my camera.
I was using my standard 18-200mm lens on the camera. The lens was was set to auto focus, I had zoomed the lens all the way out, whilst I was sitting in the drivers seat and focusing on the rear view mirror. I had been messing about with a series of semi obscured self portraits when I took this photo and I was immediately struck by how interesting The Spouse looked in the background of the shot.
So I took another photo through the windscreen of the car. I extended the lens all the way and focused on the floor of the car, I then reduced the zoom a bit and took the shot. When I saw this image I nearly wet myself with excitement. I love this image. It reminds me of something but I cant remember what it is.
I spent the next hour happily experimenting with how far I could reduce the zoom before the lens clicked into focus, I also accidentally took quite a few photos of the carpet on the floor of the car. I ended up with some beautiful images that I am really really pleased with.
Once I came home and saw that the images looked as good on the computer as they did in camera, I emailed the images to my daughter and Veronica as pragmatic as ever said, Mum, “if you set your lens to manual focus you can do the same thing.” I then felt a bit silly and thought, “of course I could have done it that way, why didnt I think of that.” *doh*
But whichever way I captured the images, the images have captured me.

I have a worldwide network of Artists that I engage with via twitter, a lot of these artists have also migrated to Google plus. A friend shared a post asking artists to add their names to a list. I added my name and now my google plus stream has exploded with circle requests from all these seriously interesting people from all over the world.
I thought that I had better add a couple of photos of my work to show that I wasn’t all talk and that I actually do make stuff. I added these next lot of photos to an album on my google plus account and I was quite surprised by the response.
If you click on these images they will open in a new window and you can have a bit of a better look.
People responded to my work and left me complimentary comments.
Hi Kim, I live in a region in France where I see potters work nearly every day, but I do have to say, your work is beautiful.
I didn’t realise how flat I was feeling until I started to feel better.
Thank you internet for helping me believe in myself.
