Fun with noodles

I know he’s my son and I am most probably biased, but he is seriously the funniest 15 month old that I know. Sometimes he looks at me in a way that makes me realize just how much mischevousness is going on in that little head. I think this child is going to be a [...]

Just enough time for a photo

Life is crazy right now:

Mum is visiting for three weeks from Australia
Thomas starts pre-school in 3 weeks (gasp!)
Samuel will not. stop. moving.
Kei is working on a film school project that never seems to end.
I am busy with work and also trying to get a few more photography clients (for fun more than anything).

Just enough time [...]

Under-Appreciated Beauty

I have recently come to the realization that I take a lot of photos of weeds. It’s not surprising given they are the most common form of life in our yard. Taking photos of weeds, though, has given me a true appreciation for their beauty.

15 Months

At fifteen months you…

Make me laugh every day

I am also feeling very inspired to take some photos so I may have to see if [...]

Fan – Such a Strange Word

However, word on the street is that anyone can now become a “fan” of Lyrebird Images thanks to [...]

Beating the Heat

One of the great things about Portland is the little nooks and crannies – the treasures hidden away in back streets, just waiting to be discovered.
Another great thing is the number of fountains that are dotted all over the city. And, when you are a Portlander, there is nothing that is going to stop you [...]

Morning, Noon and Night

I have already mentioned that we went on a quick trip to Lost Lake with friends. I even posted just a few of the hundreds of photos that I took here.
One of the traps of going to such a beautiful location as a photographer, is that it is just so tempting to take hundreds and hundreds [...]
