March 10 on 10

So here's the deal: take 10 photos through 10 hours on the 10th of the month. Today I was trying to be a good Aunty, and here's the evidence:

I've recently been checking in fairly regularly on a lovely blog called A bit of Sunshine. Its written by a lady called Rebekah over in the US, and she has had the fantastic idea to start a bloggers photo day. In her own words, the idea is that "once a month on the tenth taking a photo an hour for ten consecutive hours. Finding much life and beauty among the ordinary things of our day!" Read all about it here.

This is my first month taking part, and the 10th was an unusual day for me, involving a road trip across the Gloucestershire countryside and down to Wells for a day of music at the cathedral. Having said that it was unusual, that isn't so much of a rare occurence in my job in music publishing, but nonetheless I can't really claim that this was an average day!

Here are my 10 (I haven't meddled with them beyond some cropping of the images):

Broadening my horizons

Yesterday I found myself in central London with a little time to kill, so I wandered into Selfridges and then down Bond Street.

I'd read about Vogue magazine's Street Lights project at the weekend, so I made a beeline for Old Bond Street to see the window displays. It was fun and inspiring, with quite a buzz about it. Lots of people were checking out the displays, there was live music, and there were lots of interesting concepts on show. My favourite was the Tiffany's window, with perspex shapes which turned and magnified the jewellery.

Here's a small selection of snaps, just taken on my phone as I meandered around.



If you want to check out the window displays they're only up this week, so go go go!

I also saw this in the Selfridges window which I thought was mad, cool and very funky:



Must practice my origami!

PS You may see more off-topic posts on this blog in the coming months. I'd like to broaden the subject matter a little here and there, to include a bit on crafts, art, fashion, jewellery, photography, and other things that interest me.
