frozen little bits of life: Doonan Confusion

My close friends would know that I often carry around my chunky camera in hopes to spot something worth taking a photo of. Although, my skills are limited and I am still quite amateur, there is no denying that I have a love and have a passion for photography. I'm not exactly sure what my niche is yet, what sort of photography I specifically love, and what I want to do with this interest, but what better way than to blog about your thoughts and experiment with whatever you can?

I have had many people inspire me of late, people who I believe have a great sense of creativity and really make their work beautiful. People who come to mind; Thaoski. She writes amazing blogs for sweethearts/engaged couples and presents it so artistically that you cannot tear your eyes away. (www.thaoski.co.uk). Chris McLennan: A very talented photographer I was lucky enough to work alongside throughout Europe (I played 'model,' haha!) He's photos were phenomenal and of course, added fuel to my photographic fire. David Lau: Also another talented photographer who creates funky and original photographs, he is entirely inspiring and so approachable when wanting to find out more about photography and willing to share how he takes such damn good photo's.

I am lucky to have two beautiful best friends who helped me experiment with this blog. I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted to portray in these photos, but ultimately just wanted to try and create some photos that held depth and even, something a little weird. It quickly tells a story of two strangers who met, and had more in common then they would have thought or known. I shot all of these photos with a Nikon D5000 with a 1.4 50 mm Prime lens.

Amateur: is generally considered a person attached to a particular pursuit, study or science, without pay and often without formal training. A french word for "lover of" and Latin word for "lover."
