“I am a reader, a writer, a photographer and a mother to 4 beautiful
children: Molly, Jacob & Findlay and Pete.
Photography has been a hobby of mine since 2007 when I give birth to
twin boys Jacob & Findlay. To our great shock and sadness Findlay was
stillborn at delivery. I picked up the camera in response to the
overwhelming grief that I felt at the loss of our precious son.
Beyond that first year I discovered I love photography and that it is
a wonderful way of using my creative side which doesn’t require the
intensity (always) that sitting down to write demands.
Earlier this year I took a series of photographs of letterboxes in our
area. In the back of my mind were thoughts about mail and the lack of
now we are in a digital age and that perhaps one day we won’t even
have a letterbox in front of our houses. I also love the way people
individualise a utilitarian object.”

Thanks Tasha. I’m just delighted to be able to share my photographs through Juie’s wonderful blog. I love the other posts so far.
What a wonderful collection Rebecca – I’ve never paid much attention to letterboxes… they’re just ‘there’.
I do love 112a – so whimsical with it’s butterfly-leaves.
Wonderful to have found you too, through Julie’s blog. From someone else whose least favourite time of year is Christmas, may yours be as relaxed and stress-free as possible.
Cheers,
Tasha
