at home

Been exploring the camera a little more recently, following a year or more of basic neglect, and not learning anything new, the need to work out our lighting has also provided a great opportunity to play with the camera. So here's a pick of two faves.

Thames and Hudson vintage hardcover on Modern Music - found in a second hand book shop last week, and very large metal bowl given to us as a house warming present from my mum.  We put apples and lemons in it, but to be honest, I like it best when it is empty. I love how the light moves through it, and the intricacy of the delicate repeat pattern. So perfect just as it is.

some birds

As requested by Catarina, here are some images from my new vintage bird book.  I love how the birds look rather out of place, or fake due to the colours.  They almost look like they've been cut out and placed in these natural environments! I love vintage books.  My favourite is the 'scarlet tanager' how cool is that bird?!
