Artful weekend in Amsterdam

20/10/2019

0 Comments

 
I visited Amsterdam for the first time in my entire life in May. It is a less than 2 hour flight and there are even direct trains that run from London to Amsterdam but surprisingly, I had never visited. I always thought that Amsterdam was for bachelor’s parties/stag do’s. I thought it was a place that you went to get stoned. I based my view on a stereotype, which is unlike me, as I travel a lot and have learnt throughout my travels that people, cities and cultures never match their stereotype. As part of my tribute to Brexit, I decided that Amsterdam would be on my travel list for spring/summer.

Shadow play

I have started a new photography series - Shadow Play - where I'm hoping to capture light and darkness. Unfortunately England's summer has started out very badly so I have not had many opportunities to go outside in the sun and capture light and dark in the streets of London. So instead, I am starting the series with glass because I know it captures light so well and because I can play with light in my back garden. I have taken a few photographs and I will be updating the blog post as I go along. For now, here are a few photos.

My Glassware Collection

My mother loves glassware. She collects colourful glassware but she especially loves Swarovski. For years, I never understood why she would shriek with joy when given a Swarovski rabbit for Christmas. However as the years have gone by, I have started to understand the beauty in glass. I visited a glassmaking factory in London last week and I was really impressed with how a glass vase is made, never mind the complex glass with different colours and patterns. It is an art and a skill. I have been collecting some vintage glassware, or at least vintage-looking glassware.

I have been trying so many things during my maternity leave. Right now I am infatuated with flowers and I am learning to make potpourri. I bought some beautiful pink flowers and I let them die.

Hi, have you met... Darth Vader

I came across Pawel Kadysz's artistic photography work when I was going through a creative block. I have been on Instagram since 2013 and I like to think of myself as a connoisseur to photography series and projects as I have seen so many of them. However, I have never done a project myself so I took to the internet for some inspiration. I found Pawel Kadysz's Darth Vader series on www.tookapic.com. This app and website are for photographer who like to challenge themselves daily. It is different from Instagram in that this app is like old Instagram which used to be about photography and creativity.
