My Bio
I would identify the mediums I use to be creative as:
photography, cooking, poetry, creative writing and juggling.

Photography:
I like experimenting when taking photos particularly with the optical zoom. I like taking close up photos, landscapes, sun rises and sun sets, people and using models though I haven't used models much.

Cooking:
I say this is a medium though I think it is a loose one because secretly I mainly just cook meals from other peoples' recipes ... shh! Though I do sometimes mess around a bit when I'm cooking them which is kind of creative. I don't care... I enjoy doing it anyway! I love the smell of food and preparing it - something that usually always cheers me up

Prose:
I used to do a lot of poetry and I was good at it but I can't be bothered much any more. Instead I'm more interested in writing short stories. I try to do this though I find it very difficult so I tend to fall back on photography (hence why most of my gallery will be photography). I think I am pretty good when I do write a good short story though so I hope you give them a chance :) .

Juggling:
I can juggle with balls and can do lots of tricks with them. I like to juggle to music and that's where I get creative with which order I make the tricks in. I also like learning new juggling tricks because the experience of learning something that at first seems impossible is so amazing*

Well I would be pretty one sided if my art was all I was so let me explain me:
I just graduated from a philosophy and religious studies degree in UK. I'm really interested in both subjects, particularly beliefs in eastern religious and hindu, buddhist philosophy.

Yeah... that's about it for now, any more and you'll have to talk to me.

My New Word*

0 min read
My new word today is - bokeh :) It's awesome isn't it? I think it is Japanese and word has it that its meaning is the effect you have in photography whereby something is in focus in the foreground while the background is blurred out. The background that is out of focus is the 'bokeh' - I believe. So I'm pleased I've found a word for this phenomenon because I love it and generally try to get that effect in my photography - though sometimes when it's not particularly necessary. It is a good way to use my new compact camera with optical zoom though. If I didn't go for bokeh then I'd probably just stick with my phone camera which I used for age
