The perfect cup of tea: vintage inspired photos

Brunch Ideas: Apple porridge and cinnamon raisin toast

As the name of the blog suggests I have quite an obsession with brunch.  When I have time during the week a good brunch and a good book is my favourite way to pass a morning.

yum!

Experimenting with Surrealist Photography

After the last post I did (see here) I felt inspired to have a go at some Surrealist photography myself. On a dog walk around our local ruin some localised flooding gave me the chance to experiment with reflections and ripples. 

I changed the colours to black and white and sepia to give them a more vintage feel. Hope you enjoy.

Contemporary Surrealist Photography

Some amazing contemporary Surrealist photography to make you dream. Modern day Surrealists Silvia Grav and Chema Madoz use old school black and white photography techniques to evoke a dream world. Grav uses multiple exposure to blend images together while Madoz cleverly juxtaposes images and ideas together.

Christmas EDIT #3 Christmas Dinner with Friends

.....Cook the turkey and they will come.....

Before heading back home to spend Christmas with our families my flatmate and I wanted to celebrate Christmas with our friends. The deal was we would cook the turkey and the potatoes and provide a mulling service for cheap red wine, and they would bring all the trimmings. This is a great way to throw a huge dinner party and not be stuck in the kitchen wondering why you spent so much money. 

The result.....
