Capturing the Moment - with thanks to Emily Gray

With my daughters birthday coming up I knew I wanted a record of the day, and with my own photographic talent severely lacking, our friend Emily Gray came to the rescue.  She captured the mood, the food and my children so beautifully.
And with a bit of inspiration from Donna Hay, I set about creating a feast, made by me and enjoyed by all.

And no party could be without mini cupcakes
Fairy Bread (an Australian delicacy)
Paper Pom Poms
The Birthday girl
Party Bags
Pink Rainbow Cake




The Party Bags

Me and my youngest.

Inspirational photography

Every now and then a photograph pops up out-of-the-blue and demands ones full attention. Take, for example, Ukrainian photographer Anton Surkov's monochrome masterpieces. Utterly captivating, aren't they? 





Then there's Zena Holloway, the Persian self-taught photographer and director who focuses on capturing subaquaeous high-profile editorial shots. 





Finally, it's the work of Bruce Mozert, a pioneer of underwater photography in the thirties, that's peaked our interest. He regularly captured day-to-day subaquatic scenes, often featuring screen star Marilyn Monroe, underwater - where else?
