I love to travel and have been doing it since I was 17. I love polka dots. I love dresses. I love shoes. I love the colours
purple and pink. I have been having a love affair with the American South for as long as I can remember and one of
my favourite books is To Kill a Mockingbird. I looove coffee, but can’t really drink it because it presses my fast forward
button. If you want to see me talk at warp speed, give me a white chocolate mocha. I’ll not only love you for it, I’ll
love you for it in fast forward! I normally stick to tea, though.I love watching sci-fi shows. Nerd pride. I waited 28 years
to find the love of my life and now that we’ve found each other I couldn’t imagine life without him and I can’t
remember what it was like before him. I love hugs. I love to read.
Photography, travel and history are my favourites, but I’m really not
as boring as I sound. I read crime to be more exciting. I spell favourites
with a ‘u’ because I am Australian even though it might look a little
weird to people who use American English. I like to create new
verbs out of existing words. Like right now, I am biographing myself.
I also like mixing words, like Purplicious and Pinktacular! I like
to name things. Like our car, it’s the ‘Enterprise’, or ‘Space Car’
because it’s so advanced everything is a button… just like I
imagine things in the future would be. You want a white choc
mocha? Easy, press a button! My camera is named ‘Henri’
after Cartier-Bresson, because I think it’s better than just plain
old ‘Canon 5d’. I love animals, especially dogs and coo over
them like most people do with babies. I also coo over babies.
I love photography and I love weddings and I am blessed to be
able to call my passion my profession.

Exercise 36: Fresh Flowers
Our household isn’t the type of place that constantly has fresh flowers and I wasn’t keen on buying flowers for the sake of this exercise so I decided to wait with it until something came up. On my trip to Morocco we visited a lot of places and one of the highlights was an old mosque in Marrakesh. Full of rose bushes and cats and gorgeous tiled walls with that beautiful pink tinge. So this is where I decided that this would be a fitting version of fresh flowers.
Canon 5D MKII. Sigma 50mm f/1.4 ART @ f/1.4, ISO 400, 1/80
In the summer of 2014 my Husband and I decided to take a road trip down to the south of France from Sweden to soak up some sun, and as I was deciding which books to take, I picked up my copy of Alessandra Cave‘s gem, Shooting With Soul. I ended up completing a good number of the exercises in the book but instead of doing them in order, like the book suggests, I chose to complete them whenever I felt the opportunity presented itself during that time. I also used whatever I had available in terms of gear, which was not a lot and many times presented a really limiting challenge. I did not, and could not, complete all of the projects in the book on the trip, so I shall continue them now that we’re back home in Sweden. This image was completed in Morocco in June of 2015.
