My Sunday Movie...

As many of you know by know I'm a great fan of Woody Allen movies, so much so our cat is called Woody!

Last night we went to see Blue Jasmine, Woody Allen latest movie and all I can say is that I highly recommend it! The movie plot and the all the cast was outstanding but Cate Blanchett was amazing as Jasmine and I wouldn't be surprised if she is nominated for an oscar for the role.

I love Woody Allens movies as he doesn't need to spend big bucks with special effects, car chasing or violence..just good old fashioned story telling with interesting and complex characters that whisk you away for a good couple of hours to another world.

A little peek into my workspace....

Today I have been updating my 'about ' pages in all my websites  which also includes an image of my studio. This is a little peak into my workspace where I usually sit and write my blog, edit photos and write emails to some of you out there.
There is a window on the left which I usually leave open to hear the birds melodies come through which I find very relaxing when  I need  a quiet time to reflect on errands. Various radio stations also filter through the day from Buenos Aires, Barcelona and UK and my collection of ITunes soundtracks when I need inspiration.
Above in the shelves is a collection of my diaries, ideas and sketch books. Bellow on the wall images is an eclectic mix of photographs; inspirational images, Woody Allen, childhood memories and some of my travel images from South Africa and Buenos Aires. Also a photograph of my father sits there as it is the closest I can have him since he passed away. I use the mug from NY everyday when I have my coffee to remind me I did visit the city and it wasn't all a dream!

My Sunday Movie...

As some of you might know by now, when possible I try and stick to my Sunday afternoon plan and catch up with the magic world of the movies. Whether it is on DVD or cinema, preferably the later one...Sundays is a must!
Yesterday I finally managed to see Vicky Cristina Barcelona, set in one of my three hometowns, by one of my ultimate favourite film directors-yes I know!...I have mentioned him before, good old Woody Allen. A charming movie with great cinamatographic backdrop and its complex characters a la Woody style. Vicky Cristina Barcelona is the best movie Woody Allen has made in years. Although 2006's Match Point was just as brilliant. If you are a fan give this one a try...
