January 17, 2010

Had laser surgery on my eye today to fix a thing called pigment dispersion syndrome.  Apparently the back of my pupils are rubbing against the muscle, causing the pigment to slough off and build up pressure in my eye.  They think this is what’s causing my migraines, blurred vision, and halos around lights at night.

I’m finding it incredibly hard to take inspiring photos, or even have inspiring thoughts when I’m stuck in the office all day.  This was taken after picking the kids up from daycare.  Emma yearned to ride her bike, but there was no time.  no time to teach her to ride, no time to play with [...]

Yesterday I read a story on Digital Photography School called “Shoot to Live: what do your photos teach you” I recommend you go and read that, but be warned to have a box of tissues handy.  I speaks about not missing the small moments in your children’s lives, “Soak in the mundane” as the write [...]

Today was a struggle all over. First day back at ‘the day job’, struggling to get through benign emails, listening to everyone’s holiday stories, and attempting (and failing) to stay off the coffee. I spent all day staring at spreadsheets and working out complicated formulae, so it’s no surprise that I didn’t have any inspiration [...]

“Jasmine Star visits New Zealand” should have been on the front cover of the Herald, I would even accept it being on page 2, but no matter how hard I looked, no one published anything. I thought “How could they? She’s one of the top 10 wedding photographers in the world, she’s grown her business [...]

20years in New Zealand: Am I a kiwi yet?

January 9, 2010

This morning my Mum called to say that today marks the 20th anniversary of our arrival in New Zealand.  ”Oh, really” was the reply, laden with a completely uninterested tone.  But over the course of the day I got thinking of all the things that have happened in 20years, it is after all a very [...]

A very kind constable told me a few months ago that my license was due to expire.  He was kind, even though he told me in the process of giving me a ticket for something else.  I honestly wouldn’t have known about it, who keeps track of an event 10years in the future?  I turned [...]

He seems to want to spend all his life upside down.  I’m sure of they made shoes for hands he would.  We walk around and he’s looking for more places to swing on, jump off, climb to, and hang from.  I absolutely love it!  The world is different upside down, try it.  Just looking at [...]

I came back from Christchurch to a new little girl so it seemed.  She was talking even more (how is that possible) and I could understand 99% instead of the normal 80%.  Maybe it’s just because I’m more tuned in now. We had a lazy afternoon at the park and Emma tried the flying fox [...]

Oh man! Yesterday was so long coming, and it seems so far away already.  I had an amazing time at the workshop, talking with Jasmine and JD, and of course the other photographers that attended.  The content was totally relevant, and once implemented will bring a new era of wedding photographer to New Zealand.  I [...]
