Right! Now we’re back on track… sort of. Did you know I was even walking around without a spare battery in my handbag? Shock horror. This first wall is one I’d forgotten about – in quite a public place but a little hard to see if you’re not looking for it… one of my sister-in-laws kindly reminded me about it! I love this, but it drives me a bit nuts at the same time – nothing is straight, and certainly isn’t centred. The lines in the windows intrigue me a little – I can’t work out what they’re from, or if they’re reflecting something I can’t see. See?! I told you I was slacking off.

The creative process is a funny thing, and I guess everyone handles it differently. I’m the type of person who likes to be organised and have everything worked out nice and early…  but whether that goes to plan or not is another story! That said, I think I’ve produced some of my best ‘stuff’ under tight deadlines and pressure, but then with it disappears some of the fun… it’s a mighty fine line. I’ve been busy thinking about something else lately, so haven’t been taking many photos. Big mistake. You think I’d know by now that having some sort of balance between work/life/creativity is so important, but I forgot! Life got in the way and I didn’t stop to make the time. I’ve also just realised how many places I drive past with internal dialogue of: “that looks cool… should I stop? Nah, too late now…” – and it stays as that. It is good not to be borderline-obsessive, but something about it isn’t quite working for me.

… I’m alive, I promise! Absolutely busting to get out with my camera and catch up with all the places I’ve missed, but the creative part of brain is a bit preoccupied at the moment, so I’m only taking the photos I walk past and just can’t pass up!

Despite severe lack of progress here, I promise I’ve been out and about with my camera! There’s a little project going on in the back of my head, and I’m sitting tight on it (wait… that sounds weird! You know what I mean) until everything is all sorted out. In the mean time – I’ve been meaning to stop and look at this for ages… there’s plenty to photograph, but I need to go back in better light for the rest of it!

I’ve got nothing much to go with this lot – other than the shock realisation that next week is the last week of January. What?! I’ve been enjoying a little bit more time visiting the CBD-ish for photos, and I love seeing just how much some places have changed. Not working in the city now means I miss my favourite times of day seeing light reflected all over the place… industrial areas have their perks, but high-rises and glass certainly aren’t included in them!
