For the past few months I have been re-designing my website. Initially I started out thinking it would only take a few weeks, then the more I looked into it, the more I found that I wanted to change.
The easiest part of the whole process was coming up with my new logo and colour pallet. I approached Ellen Conti, the lovely designer where I work and asked her if I she could design my new logo. Fortunately Ellen knows me well, so we were on the same page right from the start. I love my new logo and the colour we chose for the website. I also really like how simple my website is to navigate around which was definitely what I wanted to achieve. I am still playing with the galleries. Photos kept going in and then coming out. I have decided I will just leave things be for a week or two and then revisit it.
While all the work was going on with the website I used the time to experiment with a type of photography called ICM (Intentional Camera Movement). I really enjoyed my first attempts. There are no rules for this style of photography and it certainly can be a little hit and miss. Below are two of my first attempts which are completely different, but I like them both. The first which I took at Williamstown beach looks a little like a water colour painting and the second is of my ornamental grape vine. I love the way I have captured the colours of the leaves but the movement has created an image that looks like big bold brush strokes.
