I was to model for a friend. When she turned up this morning, I extended the invitation to 2 of my friends from church. Suddenly we had 4 models and 2 photographers. Yeahhhh! Now for the dresses, The idea started as a solid colour long dress, which branched out to floral prints and then came […]
Finding this amazing song while listening to a random station. I have a new earworm https://open.spotify.com/track/5st5644IlBmKiiRE73UsoZ Reading CRs life update and wishing that I have the guts to make the right choices when it’s my turn. The unwanted words we exchanged last week have left mum and me estranged. It’s been this way for some time. […]
A trip to my auto-school and the enthusiasm of the girl. Doubly treasured because it wasn’t faked. They aren’t making money off of me anymore 🙂 Right around the corner, I found a coffee shop. The coffee was meh! But the games… and the people. Probably the first place in town I found “Cards against […]
Woke up to 100s of msgs exchanged between old school friends. Made me recall a lot of stuff. Not all of it good, but not all of it bad either. Finally found a course on the kind of photography I like. Bella Kotak and Pratik. Loved how they were so not holding back any secrets […]
If you find that not many people walk over to speak with you at work, take a “torta de anis” and some “rosquillas” to share with everyone. Works. Every time. Finally got to watch part 1 of the amazing fairytale like photography of Bella Kotak and Pratik. Loving it so far. My first brush with […]

That moment when the status of my residence card read — Favorable! Memories of a weekend visit by a niece a nephew. Life’s different with kids around. Chilling at home with Sinatra, Julie Andrews and other OSTs
Watching Judy tear up on receiving her gift. Well, Elke too. And Elke had a gift for me – Tattoos and a bracelet! A barbeque with my in-laws. Giving my mother-in-law and her sister a gift … just a cookie, but it’s always the unexpected, simple things that bring the most joy. Maria telling Dani […]
My first ever German-Spanish mass. Lunch, laughter with strangers who are now friends. A photoshoot for an unwilling child became a happy experimental photoshoot of the mum and her friend.
Took a walk around Madrid with a friend I’ve known for years. Made plans to watch a bull fight. Hopefully it’ll work out soon. Kids, funny, smart, awkward and at times irritating. But oh! such a joy! The joy of conversing with a person who is willing to listen, share a chuckle. Someone who encourages you […]
