Home, Crafts and Photography Books

October 30, 2009 Ghene Leave a comment

There is this Apple app that I downloaded recently that got me to making an inventory of all of my books. The first that I took of the shelves are the home, crafts and photography related books. These are my favourites and I even kept the photography basics which might be useful for my husband and kids later on.

The apple app is called Redlaser, it is a barcode scanner. Unfortunately not all the books with barcodes got recognised. All of my japanese craft books were not found on google and amazon.

Check out the list below.

Happy little m2

My little girl with the shirt dress I made for her from thrifted fabric which only cost me 50p. Nothing beats a smiling face she gave me when she put it on. She loves it!

upcycling cans

One of my favourite finds at the Thames Festival is a stand full of upcycled tin cans.  The items are beautifully crafted and very colourful.

I hope next year the stand will be there again so I can get one of these as well as the artist’s details so you can shop for one too.

am still here!

Finally have time to do a bit more blogging :D So many things has happend since my last post, most were visible on my photography blog and on my flickr pages.

I’ve finally taken the plunge and decided to be a pro photographer.  I know achieving this is very hard work and I will even if it take me a while do my very best for it.  Even if I love to show off my latest photographs, not all will be posted online.. even for friends to see. New photography gears/accessories were bought and created, photoshoots done and so on. I know I still have a long way to go but it is always great to stop and look how far you’ve gone. After 3 to 4 years in digital photography, I can finally admit that there are indeed improvements of my photographs. But then, these are due to some learning experiences during meetups, practice and some books and magazines. Also, it is largely due to a gear upgrade from my tiny point and shoot to my first SLR body and now with my brand’s pro camera body. I still try to keep the edits minimal with mostly crops, saturation and sharpening to do.

95% of my photos on Flickr are made private so only my favourites are visible.

I’ve recently started working on my own handmade camera bags as well as re-think on my strap designs. Finally, I’ve finished one of my strap designs and I will be testing and showing it to my photographer friends.

I will endeavour to update this one more often… please bear with me.
