“Simply look with perceptive eyes at the world about you, and trust to your own reactions and convictions. Ask yourself: "Does this subject move me to feel, think and dream? Can I visualize a print - my own personal statement of what I feel and want to convey - from the subject before me?”
Ansel Adams
"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.”

"The Sound of Music"
We all listen to music everyday. Whether it be on the radio, IPod, CD Player, the TV or sounds of birds singing, children laughing. Find the music in your day
"Edward Scissor Hands"
I am guessing we all have scissors in our hands at one point in the day, whether you are a crafter, a seamstress, a hairdresser! Edward was an artist, so are you.
"Its a Wonderful Life"
My all time favourite film. So much to take from this film, need i say more.
"Love Story"
Hey its Valentines Day! Journal about your love story , past , present, future!
This was taken last year on our first holiday together.
We met 14th September 2006. My best friend introduced us over MySpace (of all places) we imediatly clicked and went out on a date after a few days chatting on MSN and the phone. Would like to add I have never met anyone off the internet before so this was little out of character for me. I guess it was because I was planning on moving to Canada in Jan 07 so thought what the hell will go on a few dates and have some fun. Boy! It was love at first sight for me when we met for our first date =) It was 3 days before my birthday, I get the train to Edinburgh to meet him for dinner, met him at the train station to find he had me a birthday present! thought that was very sweet of him. We had a few drinks before dinner, then had a lovely dinner and chatted all night until it was time for me to go home! had to admit i didnt want to get on the train home, didn't want that night to end as we just got on so well.
Well it didn't end, a year later we got engaged and it still like when we first met =) so more to come!
"Hairspray"
So love this movie at the moment. Full of BIG hair, lots of singing and lots of dancing!
Lets try something different this week. I am going to give you a movie title and see how you are inspired by the film.
"Breakfast at Tiffany's"
Inspiration could come from the beautiful Miss Audrey Hepburn; her fashion, poise and elegance. Try looking at the title; breakfast. Maybe the famous scenes of Audrey window shopping at Tiffanys will inspire your photograph today.
