Dubrovnik – at last!

Oops, I haven’t really been up in the blog for over a month and more accurate post about Croatia are nowhere to be seen – sorry! In August I had two wedding gigs as a photographer and photographing and editing the pictures have taken all my spare time. As much as I enjoy photographing weddings it’s not always easy to work 20 hours on top of the normal 40 hour work week…

I’m quite happy with how some of the wedding portraits turned out, so I hope I get them in the blog at some point too. But before that, since I haven’t had time to write more detailed posts about Croatia, here’s a quick photo diary from our first pit-stop: Dubrovnik.

Oh and even I’ve been busy working lately, I promise it will pay off. I’m working hard now, so that the last two weeks of October I can concentrate on enjoying life in SOUTH AFRICA! So stay tuned for more travel pictures at least by then. 😉

Food Cravings

It’s funny that the older I’ve become, the bigger role food has gotten in travels and in holidays. Like always before a trip I think of where should I eat and what special treats that country has that I have to try. The same applies to holidays: Christmas, Easter, First of May… You name it. Even if I don’t like all traditional foods related to the holidays, food and eating are things I’m mostly looking forward to when a holiday approaches.

Is this normal? Should I be worried? I don’t know, but oh how nice it was to do (and eat) donuts after a years break, since it’s May Day again! 😀

 

Chihugram

Since it has been quiet on the travel front after Prague, I’ve been struggling to find ideas to write about. As I have gone through the memory card from my camera, looking for inspiration, I’ve only barged into pictures of my dog.

Like I’ve said before, I don’t wanna turn this blog to be all about dogs. So I continue to write this like I have until now. But I also wanted to have some sort of channel for my endless chihuahua-pictures. So from now on, you can follow my canine photos and maybe get a little insight to my dog’s life in instagram. The account is named creatively “Chihugram” (https://www.instagram.com/chihugram/).

So when it’s quiet on my blog, you might wanna follow chihugram, there might be something going on there. 😉

 

Blogger’s Block

I’ve felt completely out of ideas with my blog lately. And to tell you the truth, I haven’t really even had the time to worry about it. I had forgotten how energy consuming starting a new job might be. I just needed to focus all the brain functioning I have towards that. But now a little over two weeks down at the new place, so we’re already on the winning side. 🙂 And I guess if I want to work in this more and more volatile media field, I better get used to this uncertainty and changes.

The days are also getting longer as we speak, so I’m sure the extra light won’t do any harm to my energy levels…  Maybe soon my head is filled with different ideas for travels and photo projects again. Any day now. 🙂

The Lazy Days Are Over

…Before they even really began. I’m stunned how quickly everything turned out to be ok, how fast I’m a worker again.

I was prepared for the endless days of filling job applications, getting used to the idea of being rejected all the time, counting my money and figuring cheap recipes I could try, thinking about thousands of ways I could spend my time during the long days of nothing to do, and how those days would turn into months. But I guess I got something right in my applications and before I really even had the time to think of all of that, here I am, with a new job starting tomorrow! And not just any job, a job in an international, huge company that I have always hoped would be part of my career path. I can’t be anything else than thankful and happy right now. Hope it will be as much fun as I have imagined it will!

And one lucky chihuahua will get his daily routine back too, naps without stupid human disturbing! 😉
