Photographs from my walk

A walk from the studio to Old Market. 15 minutes. It's a strange thing, walking. I usually am cycling, getting places fast. Here's what I found:

Leftover Barbie in plant pot

A lot of sandwich choices

Dead wall

And I fell over. 

Three old Polaroids

Three polaroids I like:

1. Rob with my dentist tools
2. My Apples
3. Silly glasses with shadow in NZ

My Week in Pictures

So I'm not back to work! The family I nanny for a bit are home from their month long holiday, and Light Box is back after it's month off too. I had a lovely week back home in Bournemouth, seeing my brothers and parents.

I'm really happy that I took my camera and focussed on taking lots of pictures last week. I had a lovely time on my dad's boat, snapping away and making us super-noodles whilst he fixed something, and I took some shots of a very old greenhouse at my brother's next-door-neighbours in Wimbourne.

Love this plant - the one which attracts all the butterflies. Budlia?

Space-age mushrooms. Love the color of them

Summer Wedding

Hello me

I helped out with a wedding recently, a semi wedding stylist if you will. Main jobs were making cake stands and designing the look of the cake table, (the bride asked every one in her book club to bake a cake each, instead of the regular wedding cake) creating the place settings and designing the table plan.

Table Plan

I hand-cut everyone's initial and stuck them onto the plan with velcro - this made it easy to make last-minute changes to the seating plan if guests couldn't make it. They chose trestle tables - with couples sat both opposite and next to each other. I was hoping that the plan would spell out something, but it didn't - not enough vowels. I would like to make something out of the letters, as a post-wedding present. 

Cake table

The whole day was a dream. Bristol Florists Bella and Fifi worked hard on the flowers, they were gorgeous too - some wild flowers, all seasonal and locally grown.

Looking for a photographer in Bristol? All the above photographs were taken by Bruce, here's his portfolio. He also photographs the Invisible Circus lots, so if you've ever been to one of those nights, you should have a look and see if you can spot yourself in the galleries.
