I have recently gained the courage to start displaying my photography again. I am hoping to have a website up sometime, however, in the meantime I am posting my work on Facebook.
The link is thus: www.facebook.com/AMostCuriousMoment
Please feel free to share with your friends!!

One word: Yum!!!
Delightful pink squares of sugary sweetness.
I loved them, however my mother believes they are perhaps a tad too sweet, but I think it is also because I don’t become easily nauseated by sweet sugary foods.
Aesthetically, the strawberry fudge is very appealing. Thick pink squares, with dainty decorations of hearts and sugar balls.
The texture of the fudge is more that of a hardened mousse, but I prefer this texture, and think it suits the strawberry fudge perfectly.
The taste is sweet, which is to be expected! I could eat many of these at one sitting!
I really enjoyed them to be honest. I think it was my favourite dessert out of the lot!
Angel, thank you so much for a delicious experience, and massive apologies for the blog delay!

On Thursday I excitedly fetched the Rainbow Cookies Angel baked for me as part of her Beta Testing 😀 I do, after all, love cookies. And the fact that they are rainbow coloured was as added bonus!
I must say, the one thing that really boggled my mind was how Angel was able to pretty much get the different colours to be straight and for the colours to be SO vibrant – kudos to you Angel!
Visual Appearance:
– I love the vibrant colours
– I love how the different coloured crumbs simply add to the aesthetics of the whole cookie! #RainbowMashUp
Taste:
– I would have preferred if the cookie was sweeter #PersonalPreference
– The texture of the cookie was a tad hard and crumbly, but overall enjoyable.
Would I Order It Again?
– Yes! I loved the colours of the cookies, it really brightened up my lunch box. Besides for the fact that my family nearly ate all of it by the time I managed to photograph it!! My mother and I were already doing the “one for you… one for me” division in the car!!
Here is my mother eating it…..
… I don’t think she was very impressed with me 😀
However, her expert opinion on these cookies are: “I like it… I just don’t like what it is doing TO me!”
I also took the cookies with me to a Girls Night Out with my friends and it was a hit.
While working in the hospital, my one poor patient was such a darling and was having a rough day as the staff were incredibly rude and she was very uncertain about the outcome of her health, so I gave her a cookie and it honestly brightened up her day. Here she is! 😀

Yesterday #TheBoyfriend and I celebrated our 6 year anniversary. He was ever so sweet and bought me a bunch of poppies and tulips. He obviously knows me very well as he dug through bunches of poppies to get me all the unopened ones because I love watching them pop 🙂 Melted my heart.
He then understood when he knew I had to get my camera and start photographing! I recently received my 100mm Macro lens and used it to try it out, as well as some different editing techniques.
The poppies especially remind me of birth – I love it!
Enjoy the pictures and feel free to leave any comments or constructive criticism

So today I shot my first studio shoot 🙂 I still have a long way to go, but I’m quite pleased with the way the pictures turned out 🙂
Don’t feel shy to comment 🙂

Yes YOU.
The one reading this blog post.
YOU, who wants to bitch and moan about the nurses, doctors, paramedics, police (wo)men, fire (wo)men, security guards and so forth and how they don’t do enough for you and this country.
Well what the fuck have you done to show your appreciation for these people who risk their lives to save yours, who leave their family to care for yours?? Because I sure don’t see you volunteering to relieve them of a few hours to rest while you try your hand at it.
Have you ever considered taking them a home cooked meal? Writing them a card of appreciation? Getting sponsors to help them buy the equipment they need because theirs has broken and the government has not replaced it? Have you ever bothered to consider what they leave behind every time they go on shift? And the amount of hours that they work? Have you considered the minimal amount of pay they receive to risk their lives for YOU, and in turn you are ungrateful and disapproving? That without them this country would be even further wrecked into turmoil and chaos?
And don’t get me wrong, I know that not every single one of these people are pure. That some are corrupt, and do bad things. But the rest? Surely you cannot scoff at them all for the bad name some have given? Have you any idea how truly unbelievable YOU can be to assume and generalize. Open your eyes, dammit! They are there, risking their lives for you.
So what are you going to do to prove to them how much you appreciate it? Am I to be correct in assuming “fuck all”?

Today I met @getting_by, @victoireo, @tanyadk, @gnat_j, @laurenhamilton_, @mandimadeit. @marieks12, and @angelsmind at a restaurant called Manna.
I duly decided to take pictures of the kids closest to me as I was very very lazy to take of everyone and all the happenings surrounding me!
I even took one of the lemon in my coke. The conversations around me were so interactive, that I’m surprised I got such beautiful photos as I was not focusing as hard as I should have!
So, what do you think?

I recently photographed Michael Bolton at his press conference at the Westcliff Hotel.
His being late made me very unimpressed, however he duly apologized and the conference started. Holy cow, he replies to questions with 5 minute answers, and then says “Have fun editing that one” 😀
I struggled to photograph him because there were about 5 other photographers in a small space and eventually I photographed him from his side. He makes some of the funniest faces when he talks, and is a real blinker!
I spent some time messing around with my editing, and although I do not like all of them, I liked learning what I could do with the editing process and how small things can change a picture dramatically. And thus I overcontrasted, saturated, due-toned, increased and decreased temperatures and so forth. And here are a few:
