Thought of the week

As a massive F.Scott Fitzgerald fan I have just started to read Dear Scott, Dearest Zelda - The Love Letters of F.Scott Fitzgerald & Zelda Fitzgerald. It chronicles one of the 20th century's most passionate and iconic romances in such a way that the reader, for the first time, gets to compare both of the relationship between F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda Fitzgerald. It also got me thinking, what ever happened to writing letters?! In the days where we can connect to one and another instantly no one (and I include myself) seems to write letters anymore and after reading this book I have decided, if anyone wooed me with letters like Fitzgerald, it would totally work!

To all you Fitzgerald fans out there, it really is a must read as it is an amazing insight into such a devoted relationship that helped encourage him to write such incredible novels but was in the end, due to his alcoholism and her mental illness, a troubled and turbulent marriage.
Therefore, instead of a picture to inspire you this week, I have chosen a book for you to read, so curl up out of the snow, in front of the fire and enjoy. Although much has been be said about them as a couple, the best and most accurate road to gaining a real insight regarding them individually and their marriage, is to read what they themselves said to and about each other.

But of course the real reason... is that I love her and that's the beginning and end of everything - F. Scott Fitzgerald

As friends and family know, I am an avid reader who loves nothing more than curling up with a good cup of tea and a great book I can loose myself in.
As our ever increasingly hectic schedules leave us with very little time to sit and relax I aim to document the ways in which we manage to fit in a few moments of peace and quiet with a good book. Whether on our everyday commute, at a restaurant or coffee shop or just curled up on the sofa the solitary act of reading is enjoyed by all. As technology expands reading is still very much present, which the invention of kindles, smartphones and increasingly smaller laptops has reading become even more popular? This is something I am exploring everyday with my photography, as some of you may know from earlier blogs.
It has been a while since I updated you all on the project, so here are a few of my most recent photographs. To see the whole project visit my website

Happy Reading!

Because I feel a bit like this on such a grey Monday afternoon.

Looking Back...

Well after saying goodbye to 2012 (in some serious style I may add) it's also time to say well and truly goodbye to my carefree reckless days and say hello 2013 and the adult world (sob!).
So I thought I would start the new blogging year with a trip down memory lane... enjoy some of my favourite pictures from 2012 and expect many more to come from 2013.
