Bristol

I've now been living in Bristol for almost 2 years and I fall in love with the City a little more each day. It's vibrant, quirky, fun and generally just a great place to live. Every weekend there's something new to do and one of the highlights of the year is Bristol Harbour Festival, a weekend of music, performances and art, based around the harbourside. The weekend happens in July, and this year we were lucky with gorgeous weather, which gave me the opportunity to take some photos of Bristol, the crowds and the atmosphere. As the weather gets colder, darker and wetter I thought I would share this belated post now, to bring some fun and sunshine in to the short winter days! I hope you like them!

Art on the Hill

Tomorrow I am taking part in Art on the Hill, the Windmill Hill and Victoria Park Arts Trail. It's a great weekend showcasing local talent and a good excuse to have a nose around people's houses. So do come along, you'll find me at venue no. 43 - I'm also selling cakes so if you don't like the photography, you may like a cake instead!

Paris Photo 2011

As another November comes and goes so does my third annual trip to Paris for Paris Photo and so here is my third annual blog of photographs from my trip to Paris. Armed of course with my Canon film camera the only difference this year is instead of heading to Paris with my usual motley crew of University friends, I went for a romantic trip with Matthew. We stayed in a hotel the other side of Paris to the normal Republique side, opting this time to stay in the Trocadero, near the Eiffel Tower.

I had another fantastic trip visiting the Musee d'Orsay to see the new Surrealist exhibit as well as many wonderful little shops and cafes and of course the Grand Palais for Paris Photo itself. The weather could not have been nicer, and was unseasonably warm meaning we could walk everywhere allowing for many photo ops. So here you go avid bloggers. Another year of another wonderful weekend in one of my favourite cities in the world, Paree!
