Well hello there.
Long time no see. I’m still alive, in case you were wondering.
I’ve been in a bit of a rut. I’ve barely picked up my camera in the last three years. To be fair, I spent the last three years working in a creamery, making cheese. It was physically exhausting. Picking up a camera after spending a day manhandling (or should I say ‘womanhandling’) 300kg of cheese curd was not high on my priority list. Also, there was a pandemic in there somewhere.
I did go places. The photo above was taken on a trip to Edinburgh when my parents came to visit. I found it today, in a file of photos I hadn’t even edited.
It is possible I am out of my rut now. I’ve moved, still in Scotland, but a little south and a little east. I have a new job. I work at a farm shop, ostensibly as front of house, but I spend most of my time doing design, photography and social media. Whether it’s because I’m good at design, or because I’m rubbish at waitressing, I’m not sure. It is hard to remember customer’s orders with perimenopause churning your brain into mush, whereas reacquainting myself with photography and design is like slipping on my favourite hoodie.
So, I’ve updated my site with some of my recent work. Please take a look at my portfolio. I hope you like it. If you’re hoping to see more posts here, it’s quite possible!
