Day 64 – Weekly Photo Challenge: The Golden Hour

Day 53 – Weekly Photo Challenge: Nostalgic

Some photographs of the christening I went to today.

I took some portraits for my boyfriends family (It was his nephew that was getting christened) but I also took some photographs for myself of the church. I feel this fits in to the nostalgia theme because although I have never been religious I went to church occasionally with my great grandparents when I was younger and I was christened at age five or six. I remember being asked whether I wanted to be christened and without knowing what it was about I said I did want to be christened because all of my friends were christened. That probably made my grandparents and mother happy and I’m OK with that. I have not been to church for a long time and the times I have, since I was too young to remember, have been funerals and possibly a wedding. As an atheist (sometimes bordering on anti-theist) going to church for me has always been somewhat of an interesting experience, I am torn between thinking of church and religion as a potential force for good and a community space for older generations and my head telling me its all rubbish and a method of control that’s holding back a thirst for knowledge in many.

Day 48 – Weekly Photo Challenge: Companionable

When I first saw this challenge I was struck with the desire to photograph Salt and Pepper Pots… Then it struck me that I didn’t have any so instead I decided to upload a photograph that I took on Pen Y Fan.

Day 41 – Weekly Photo Challenge: The World Through My Eyes

Today I discovered the Daily Post and was inspired by the weekly photo challenge. I decided to take the theme very literally and take a photograph after I had seen the blog post. Looking up from my bed at my curtains.

The way the light shines through the curtain is my favourite part of the images.
