Reader, I loved it

I gave in and decided to watch Pride and Prejudice (the one with Keira Knightley). I feel a bit naughty as I haven't even read the book! But, the film was beautiful. I want to read more beautiful books, and I dearly want to watch many more beautiful films. I would love some suggestions. Happy weekend, lovelies.

Photos by my brothers

Here are some photos that my brothers have taken. We all seem to have a love for photography, which I only fully realised recently as two of them have decided to study it.

Brother No. 3 only owns a point-and-shoot and Brother No. 1 doesn't even own his own camera, and none of them have been formally trained. I suppose if you love it...

Oh, and have a look at Wuthering Heights contemporary book covers on the Guardian website.

We'll see

I've been digging through my computer to see how many good photos are in there. It's to remind me that I am okay at what I do, and should keep doing it. Don't understand why I have this doubt so often, pathetic really.

Tonight P and I are having an arts writer friend over for dinner. He wants to do an article on P's paintings. I am cooking Indonesian food, most of it I have never cooked before. We'll see.

Un-busy is OK

Still unwinding. Haven't seriously picked up the camera for my own enjoyment yet. So am reading, reading, reading. Bit of the good old traditional paper, some glossies, and also Acne Paper. Back soon with some more inspirational breadcrumbs.

P.S. Do you like reading (or watching) the news? Or only magazines?

Intimate Vignettes Postcard Project

I was almost tempted to upload a study for one of the photos I worked on this semester. But this semester is over, and I needed a visual freshener. So I pulled out this Supersampler shot I took two years ago.

I need to motivate myself to take more photos over the Winter holidays; I am feeling rather intimidated by all the beautiful images I keep coming across in all your lovely blogs. So I'm challenging myself!

I am going ahead with the postcard project. You send me one, I send you one. Be as creative as you want in what you write (no need to be sensible). Let's play this by ear. If you're on board then email me with "Postcard Project" in the subject and include:
♥ your name
♥ a little bit about yourself
♥ links (blog, flickr, etc)
♥ and of course your address!

Then I will email you back with my address and we can start the swap!


P.S. I have included the definition of 'Vignette' in the right column (just below the header), it's also a reminder to myself.

At least we both love spicy food

P and I are stuck in a bit of a dinner rut. We both don't know what to cook, and we don't know what we really want to eat. I think we both lack creativity in that department. It's not fun.

I am still a bit of a novice in the kitchen so will need to build up my kitchen skills (and utensils). I would love to learn some new things food.

I have been looking through some food blogs but am a bit lost. I have a little bit of an Indonesian tongue and love rice. P on the other hand tries to avoid carbs etc, but will settle for pasta. Sigh. Please help.


P.S. Thank you for the interest in postcards. I am still planning a plan! Will update Friday.
