An angel at my Table


This is my ducky at 13 months old. He's sitting at his little Ikea chair and table set in front of my grey backdrop. I manipulated the background colour and texture a little as an experiment.

Jack has a chest infection at the moment, and I'm feeling rotten too. I'm not sure if I also have a chest infection, but I certainly have a stinkin' cold. Anyway, we visited the doctor yesterday, and Jack is doing a bit better on the antibiotics. The little jumper he is wearing is another vintage find from the Rusty Zip, and I always put him in it at the first sign of a cold. It's so cozy, and I like to think the turtle neck helps a sore throat.

News! After a lot of research I have just invested in some gels and a wireless flash system in an effort to give me more colours and effects. They haven't arrived yet, but once they do, I'll post my attempts up here. I have also finally bought a green backdrop. However, after yet more research, I couldn't decide between the nice summer green, and the happy sky blue, so... yes. I got both. This hobby of mine is an expensive one.

  1. Love that vintage turtleneck! I hope you guys both feel better soon. Love the background treatment.

    Oh yes... this hobby is an expensive one. I added up my "wish list" from amazon the other day and the camera gear could buy me a decent car.
