Social isolation documentary project, Part I

Australia went further and further into lock-down mode throughout the month of March 2020. I was inspired by other photographers I followed who shared their ideas what they were going to do during this lockdown period to keep up with their photography, business and creativity. The COVID-19 pandemic is definitely one for the history books. Like many photographers out there, I thought doing a mini documentary project to capture daily life during this historic period of time would be interesting and insightful. Something I could look back upon and tell the story of what it felt like living during a pandemic through my own eyes.

I’m writing this in the second week of the new year. The busy end of year rush in December meant I didn’t get a chance to sit down and reflect on my 2018 year of photography. Better late than never! As usual I’ve set myself a variety of goals for the new year and several of them of course include photography, blogging and travelling. Before we dig into my goals for 2019, lets have a look at how I went in 2018.

2017 Year in Review and looking towards 2018

Denmark, Western Australia. Easter long weekend 2017

As 2017 comes to an end, I think about what I achieved, what didn’t quite work out and what I’m looking forward to for 2018. The year has gone by very quickly. There were plenty of significant work events and a number of personal changes to my life. All in all, 2017 has been an interesting one. I’ve spent the last few weeks reflecting on my year and coming up with some goals for 2018. But before we get into that, lets see how 2017 went based on what I set out to do.

Queena’s Hens, a beautiful indoor picnic & grazing table

I had the pleasure of joining a lovely bunch of girls for an afternoon of gourmet food and drinks to celebrate a dear friend’s upcoming wedding. The bridesmaids did an amazing job of setting up the indoor picnic area and organised a beautiful grazing table. It made taking photos that much easier! The afternoon was classy, relaxing and low key. It’s not often that I would get onto editing photos from a shoot so quickly, but I was excited to go through the photos and share the day with everyone who attended.

2016 Year In Review and Looking Forward To 2017

It’s that time again when the calendar rolls over to the new year. Welcome 2017.  After being inspired by Chris Guillebeau’s annual review process, I started my own goal settling/year planning a few years ago. 2016 has been my most intentional year to date. This year I’ll be sharing some of my results from my 2016 annual review and also my plans for 2017 in the area of photography and travel here on the blog.

2016 has certainly flown by, on a photographic, personal and professional level, it has been a good year with many challenges, highs and definitely much to be grateful for. I have lived more intentionally and really tried to balance the my five value areas: Health, Relationships, Passion, Contribution and Growth. On the world stage it has been a very eventful year. While sometimes it feels like there is a lot of negativity around the around, there are also plenty of people who are out there doing good positive work. We can’t control the many varied events which occur in life, what you can control is yourself and your own response to the events around you.
