Lizianthus 1
I picked up a few small bunches of flowers and put them together for a number of photo shoots. I’ve photographed lizzianthus a few times, they are an intriguing flower – the buds are a green-yellow colour but the flowers are a gorgeous soft pink. Here are some shots, more to come. Oh, and the…

Five Minutes F(rose)n in Darkness – RegularRandom
Remember when Julie and I shot frozen flowers? One of the flowers was a peach-coloured rose – so pretty. Julie has this great dark corner set up with a scarred old wooden table, so we set up the ice block there to shoot it in the dark, so different to the light and bright shots…

Eye Contact
He’d been watching her all night, and he thought she’d been watching him too. Their eyes met and it was electric. He felt the pull immediately, and couldn’t tear his gaze away. His friends’ laughter faded away and there was only her. She broke eye contact as she turned to answer someone’s question and he…

Five Minutes with a Sunset Sky – RegularRandom
I promised I would be back with RegularRandom this week and I almost didn’t make it. As I mentioned in my previous post, I’ve been sick with the flu (or something) and it has been quite nasty. I’ve spent my whole weekend in a pretty drowsy state. But tonight, I did pop out onto the…

Four: Enough
When I am silent, I have thunder hidden inside. – Rumi. He had left the door open behind him, he knew she wouldn’t be far away. She left it open too, she made sure she was quiet. She didn’t want him knowing she was here already. She had hidden herself in the old rotting orchard,…

Five Minutes with a Strange Pink Flower – RegularRandom
While waiting for a takeaway smoothie at a little cafe in Auckland (The Botanist), we browsed their little attached florist. I was quite fascinated by this weird pink flower. I think it’s some kind of Protea, but I’m sure someone can correct me here. Anyway, five minutes of shooting makes for a good RegularRandom –…
