On this beautiful Saturday morning, what are you doing and where would you rather be?

Dainty Perfection

Liz & Chris - by Aaron Delesie

When I saw photos from this rustic-inspired wedding, I could not stop gushing over the shoes and dress! So utterly perfect. I too have decided I will splurge on a pair of out-of-this-world shoes for my own wedding to wear under the gown, even if no-one else can see it. It's a nice little touch and the snaps always turn out FABULOUS!

Love and Light

Some mid-week beauty to lift your spirits.

I thought long and hard about which editorial to feature today. I wanted something warm with a touch of romance to counter the cold, dreary winter mornings we've been having lately. I decided on these shots published in the Oct 2007 issue of Vogue Nippon by Camilla Akran. Oh, how I adore this kind of soft, dreamy photography!

Hope you are all having a wonderful week so far. I'm rejoicing at the fact that it will be a short one thanks to the Queens Birthday public holiday on Monday. Hump day today, yay!

My New Love: Sony Cybershot Tx7

After months and months of researching and deliberating over which new digital camera to buy, I finally made the splurge yesterday and purchased myself a Sony Cybershot Tx7 in Rouge Red. This little compact camera caught my attention over the more popular Canon IXUS range mainly for ability to capture great quality shots without sacrificing its ultra sleek design (integral lens and sliding front cover). I have only had this camera for one day and let me tell you now, it is definitely one hell of an eye-turner. Good work Sony for raising the bar so high this time around.

For those of you who don't know much about the Sony Tx7... it is a beautiful brushed-aluminium 3.5" touchscreen point-and-shoot digital camera with outstanding capabilities for shooting in low light. It features the Exmor-R CMOS 10.1MP sensor, stereo mics, 25mm wide-angle lens and allows full HD videorecording in 1920x1080 pixel resolution. That's not all - this Sony camera is compatible with SD/SDHC memory cards (in addition to MemoryStick Duo), allows zooming during video, takes 10fps action shots and has a huge touchscreen interface that is very easy to use. This is all improved from the Sony Cybershot Tx1 that I had planned to buy last December... I'm so glad I waited it out!

As you can imagine, I spent most of today playing around with the functions on this camera and I was absolutely delighted with the results. The photos were all clear, rich and accurate in colour and the video quality was superb. If you are looking to purchase a new compact camera for yourself that is intuitive, looks great and comes with all the bells and whistles... this sleek little beauty is definitely one you should check out. It's a tad expensive, but will capture all your moments (with its impressive turn-on and shutter times). You won't be disappointed :)

I added this quote myself - it is my all time favourite

For this weeks Behind the Lens series, I would like to share the works of photographer Victoria Pearson, whose images I love for the sheer beauty and simplicity.

What better than some beautifully-styled, colourful and fun colour cards to finish off with on a Friday afternoon. These photographs belong to Imke Klee - a stylist, designer, photographer and illustrator who works in Germany and France. I think her work is amazing; she is spot on with her colour choices and I adore her lovely little knick-knacks. Makes you look at everyday objects a bit differently doesn't it?

Enjoy while I head out and enjoy the rest of this beautiful warm afternoon.. Happy Friday folks! :)
