Behind the scenes – Knitting treats
Every time I do a row, I get an M&M, because I’m a grownup. A grownup with a blue tongue.

Behind the scenes: Knitting again
Thanks to geotagging I know exactly where I was on the M25 when I took this. Happily I’ve always been able to read, or do something other than just stare out of the window as a passenger in the car and autumn beginning seemed a […]
Behind the scenes – Cut flowers
The asters are lasting well as cut flowers, which makes them good photography models – and better than the dahlias and calendulas, which are starting to fade in the vase. Through the year the multi-tasking allotment provides food, flowers and photos, which become stock images […]
Behind the scenes – Broccoli still life
The bargain bin at the supermarket is always worth checking for photography props and this week it included several heads of broccoli, rapidly approaching their sell by date. I raked through for the best looking pack and took it home to model for me, gradually […]

Proof that my allotment is indeed a valuable contributor to my stock photography! One of my beautiful hessian potato sacks with the even more beautiful ornamental gourds harvested from the plot were put to work this weekend, arranged in front of the lovely red berries […]
Behind the scenes – Spillage
Oh, the things that I have spilled on this floor during photo shoots. Peas, beans, breakfast cereals of all kinds, sugar, dried beans … A cupful of quinoa was the latest, getting straight under my toes, but at least having the manners not to roll […]
