The Water Sprite


Michelle's death left me frozen. I've felt breathless, like the grief squeezed everything out of me and all I had energy to do was just keep moving. On Saturday, word came of her boyfriend - he killed himself. This is an incredibly dark post, and I know that when grief is not your own it may seem...tedious. But I want to remember her and what she meant to my life. I love you chick, so much, from the very bottom of my soul


I'm trying to get myself going again and so am posting here tonight in her memory. The shoot I'm showcasing is called The Water Sprite. My vision was to have it completely nude but because we were in an extremely public location we just couldn't pull it off to suit my exact desires. I must say though that I am still very happy with the results. Thanks to Tumi, my fantastic make up artist and creative partner, and also to an amazing model and fellow photographer, Amielle.

Crying in the Rain

The past two weeks have been brutal. A good friend died in a car crash on Monday 5th October - or rather, her body was found on that date. I still don't have the reserves to write anything vaguely approaching coherent about it. i will soon because i want to remember her as clearly as I do now. On Monday the 12th another friend commited suicide. I wasn't as close to him as I was to Michelle, but it was a huge shock. I feel as if I've been drowning in tears. I'll be posting pictures again soon, I just need the hurt to ease a little first.
