Change

What often seems like the scariest six letter word in the english language, "change" has been my friend for the past 12 months at least.

My beautiful boy Cullan seems to change every day (his look of surprise captured above has remained pretty consistent though). As I write this he has managed to throw and break a cup in the kitchen, which is probably a good thing because we might not have otherwise noticed the shoe he decided to hide in the bin! Bless :-)

And amongst all this chaos and amusing mania, I've been busying away a few hours a week setting up my own photography business. Whilst now probably isn't the best economic time to be doing this (even with one whole shiny penny back on petrol), it's something I love so much and feel absolutely compelled to do.

Already armed with my business name, I've been trying to come up with a logo since Christmas and have finally managed to create one I like. Below is the result of my blood, sweat and late-night profanities :-)

I wanted to keep within an Irish theme and decided celtic swirls was the way to go. The spirals are usually associated with life, birth and growing (to me the very thing a business is about and in particular what mine hopes to capture). The colours I had actually decided in advance, as I wanted them to refer to photography (RGB - the way light is captured on a digital camera's sensor) and also use the colours most associated with Ireland and Britain. The final flourish I allowed myself was to finish off the spirals in a kind of heart-shape, I'm all about the love! :-)

I'm still busying away on a business website and am hoping to have that online by April, so there'll be a few late nights coming methinks. I think I'll leave the blog design as it is. Still like my cloud picture and then there's that horrible word - change ;-)
