Sometimes I create my own blog-worthy stories. Like this evening, when I was attempting to take some pictures of a present I bought for my Love a while ago. Now the days are getting shorter, good light for good pictures is getter scarce and I have to turn to our little lightroom to take good pictures (working during the day doesn’t make it any better, before we cooked dinner and cleaned up, it’s dark).
Anyway, like I said, the lightroom is small and the record player I wanted to photograph did not fit that well between the sides of the lightroom. You can imagine the struggle. After taking a thousand pictures of a record player in a tinsy tiny space, I decided to change to composition and change the background. During the struggle that followed (cables knotting, staggering tripod) one of the lights that enlightens the lightroom (how many times can one use the word light in a piece?!) fell on the ground, breaking the lamp inside.
NGGggGgngnGgng…(smothered frustrated noises)
Soooo…..I’ll have to settle for this one, for it was the only picture I found acceptable to use for my blog. Problem is now I have to clean up the mess and don’t have time to write about the record player anymore. O, and I have to bang my head to a wall a couple of times…must run!
Before I go just one thing: my music-box deer is featured in a Japanese book on handmade interiors, thanks to Diana of Homemade Happiness. Take a peek here, her lovely home is such an inspiration!
You already know I’m a huge fan of Dutch magazine Flow, so needless to say I’m soo happy they were kind enough to place one of my deer in a deer themed shopping article! Yaay!
