It's a dogs life up at Rannoch station.

These dogs were happy to sit and watch me walk by. Until I knelt down to take a 2nd photo, when they stood up and started barking and growling. Hence why the second photo isn't as good!

Got the week off uni next week, so lots and lots of editing will be getting done. Expect to see photos from Dumfries and Galloway and photos from Rannoch.

It's a dogs life down in Dumfries and Galloway.

I spent a couple of nights in Dumfries with my boyfriend (blog) this week. Our £19 a night room in the Travelodge was a perfect base to go and explore the beautiful countryside and seaside of Dumfries and Galloway. I got back a couple of hours ago and the only images I've edited so far are ones I took as part of my 'It's a Dogs Life' series.

This first dog has a pretty easy looking life. His house is about 5 meters from the beach and he looked very content sitting out in the sun watching the waves roll in and out.

This second dog is probably my favourite that I've shot so far. He was tied up outside Morrisons in Dumfries and he is the most beautiful wee thing. He looked a bit scared anytime someone walked past, but I stayed back and spoke to him and he seemed to calm down a bit. He's only got one eye and I really hope he's not had too hard a life. He is so beautiful that I'm going to put up all three photos that I shot of him.

I'll put more photos from my break on here and on Flickr soon.

Celeste Carrigan is currently studying her Masters in Journalism at Edinburgh Napier University. She contacted me asking to use one of her images in an online magazine she's involved in. It's a really good and fun article, here's the link!

Along with all the uni work I've been up to I've also been giving my website a long over due facelift.

Not one to leave you without a pic here's a photograph of one of the loves of my life :)

Just a short one...

More images of Chloe can now be seen on my flickr.

This one may be my favourite.

Had a great day in Edinburgh yesterday. Saw some Francesca Woodman prints, my life is complete!

My colourful friend who I love very much.

I'm really keen to get in to street portraits. I don't to portraiture much at all, but everytime I see street portraits my friends have shot I get a total twang of jealousy.

So much uni work to get done though, so street portraits may have to wait.

Here are some of the many images that I shot of my good friend Chloe on Tuesday. She is one of the best people ever infront of the camera. She's gorgeous, bright, vibrant, interesting, wonderful!

Edinburgh tomorrow. There are 4 exhibitions I want to visit and I'll be taking at least one camera. Don't think I'll make it to all 4 exhibitions tomorrow, why are all the galleries so far apart?! I am so super uber crazy excited about seeing Francesca Woodman prints, I may just scream!

Scanned negs.

I've been shooting a bit of film recently and finally got round to getting some developed and scanned. I look at my images so differently when I've shot them with film. I see me using film a lot more...

The first three were shot on Kodak Max 35mm expired 11/2006.
