A room full of jellyfish

A room of floating jellyfish

I have met some amazing people in the last 10 years. Creative people who have opened my eyes to the world.

Today I had the honour of photographing the latest exhibition by one of these creative people. A girl with blue hair, an enormous heart, a love of rabbits, some awesome boots and a skill with a crochet hook.

No boring granny-rug squares for this girl. Instead ………. jellyfish. Hundreds of jellyfish. Crocheted and created from yarns of similar shades of the one colour, but different textures. And then there are the red ones!!  No two the same. Each one with its own style and story of creation.

There are the jellyfish made during lunch breaks. The jellyfish created on the 2 hour trip to work on public transport. (And the 2 hour trip back home) Let’s not forget those made while a passenger in the front seat of her boyfriends car. The artist can probably tell you where and when each one was made. She has her favourites. There are those that have special memories for her.

All I know is, I walked up the gallery stairs and into a room of magic and serenity and I got to photograph it. 🙂

A latecomer into the world of photography, I have found something that excites and motivates me. I proudly own a Nikon D5100 and last year upgraded to the D750 and it is my constant travelling companion. Wherever I go....it goes. I have done a CAE beginners course on DSLR photography as well as a 6 week class with the Moonee Valley Incinerator Gallery. Both courses taught me heaps and the two teacher were both incredible in their own ways. I am using this blog to develop my knowledge and my skills. It will probably become both a diary and tutorial for me so please be prepared for both. My friends are very encouraging and supportive of this path that I've decided to walk. They seem to think I'm a great photographer. I sincerely thank them for their encouragement but am acutely aware that I am a 'new' photographer not a 'great' photographer. I've seen great photography......I have a long way to go. And this is why I have taken up this challenge. I don't expect to create art every day, but I do believe that opportunities for capturing 'that' moment are right before me and I hope that I am able to capture with a lens what I see in my heart and mind.
