    Five Minutes with the Most Spectacular Chocolates – RegularRandom

    Hi everyone. I’ve been away for a while and I apologize. It’s a long story and I’ll fill you in another post. Today though, let’s just enjoy these gorgeous chocolates from Sugar Harvest Chocolates in the Yarra Valley. My friend gave them to me for my birthday, which means I’ve had them for two whole…

    And now for something completely different.

    A work friend’s husband is in a heavy metal band called Forklift Assassins. They were performing in a little bar nearby last night, so a group of us from work decided to get together for dinner and drinks and then headed to the bar to see the guys perform. I’ve been wanting to shoot a…

    You know it’s going to be a cupcake, right? RegularRandom

    Yes, I’m back with a cupcake, I can’t help it, it’s just so pretty. This is the same cupcake from my last RegularRandom – Five Minutes with a Table Setup. I took quite a few photos that day, these ones focusing more on the cupcake itself. At the bakery, the owner knows that I photograph…

  • Paris – The Eiffel Tower

    Paris – The Eiffel Tower

    I’ve always had a thing for the Eiffel Tower. Seeing it in person was quite an experience. We were driving around on the hop-on-hop-off bus, everyone chatting and trying to keep warm on top of the bus, when I caught a glimpse, just before that first shot below. Such a thrill to get that first…

    Five Minutes With a Table Setup – RegularRandom

    I thought this pink cupcake was so love-ly that I just had to photograph it in this table setup. Would you like to join in the RegularRandom crew? Here’s how: Version 1: choose a subject or a scene spend five minutes photographing it – no more! try to not interfere with the subject, instead see…

  • Arc de Triomphe de l’Étoile

    Arc de Triomphe de l’Étoile

    I was a little overwhelmed by the Arc de Triomphe – I absolutely loved it. I think maybe because it was such a long drive up the Champs-Élysées to get to it – you can see it, getting bigger in your field of view, which for me was the windscreen of the bus – although…

    Five Minutes with my SMAAK Handbag – Regular Random

    While I was in Amsterdam, I spent a couple of hours wondering around the city on my own, and discovered a wonderful handbag store called Smaak Amsterdam and immediately fell in love with about 5 different bags. I was particularly drawn to the yellow bags, although the pink and they grey bags were also fabulous.…

  • Paris – partie trois.

    Paris – partie trois.

    And now for the Louvre – oh to have a few days to spend here. What a spectacular scene. We drove through a little “tunnel” of darkness which opened up onto the magnificent square – I was not prepared for the beauty of this spot. If I had time, of course I would have hopped…

    Up Close with a Pale Pink Tulip

    I’m coming to the end of my Amsterdam trip (I’m writing this post on my last night, on May 8th), and I’m coming to the end of my tulip photos. This might be my last tulip post, I hope you’ve enjoyed them with me. I have loved them. x desleyjane

  • Paris – deuxième partie.

    Paris – deuxième partie.

    The Paris love affair continues. Today, photos from the Académie Nationale de Musique – the Paris Opera. What a stunning building, and I’m still fascinated that the Parisians have the opportunity to go there every day. Next time, I need to go inside, I’m told it’s gorgeous too. x desleyjane

  • Pink & Peach

    Pink & Peach

    This is the most classic shape, I adore it. There was one other that was completely pink and it was stunning (you can see it among the photos here). This one has such a beautiful graduation of colour from pink to peachy apricot – divine. x desleyjane
