Lucie Loves... Photography // 01.07.12 :: #PhotoDiary A Sunday In A Million, Cats. Friends. Fields. Heather Tait. Photography. Hasselblad. Polaroids & @FrostandSnow Meringues.
Meet Patricia. My good friend and fabulous Photographer Heather Tait’s new kitten.
A whole box of JOY! It was so exciting to go to Heather’s and get her Hasselblad’s out and then finding three unexposed Polaroids left in the Hasselblad!
We took to the garden and made the most of the beautiful summer sunlight and her gorgeous Medium Format film camera.
These are the three Polaroids that Heather took of me wearing my new Topshop Khaki coloured Casual Military Shirt, £36.
We then headed off in the car to a nearby farmer’s field to shoot some more portraits using her Hasselblad. Alternating between some 120 B/W and Colour film that will be sent off to Peter Gaffney’s metro colour lab in Birmingham for processing. Heather also took her Nikon D3 DSLR and experimented with the flashes of sunlight that kept trying to peek through the cloud-heavy sky.
I love the texture and depth of Heather’s work.
She also has the CUTEST little boys!
Meringue Time!!!!
Everybody tuck-in!!
After spending a wonderful day at Heather’s, I then nipped over to see my good friend Joe Mitchelmore @MadeByOthers & @mrchrisdesouze (aka @studiobonito) and was just in time for dessert! (How convenient!)
I also got to meet the fabulous gastronomic genius that is Sarah Frost of @FrostandSnow Birmingham Bakery Fame! WHAT A WOMAN!
Sarah had whipped up some homemade meringues dusted with cocoa, and filled some rather delectable Anthropologie bowls * Bowl Envy * full of pick and mix-esq toppings such as:
- White Chocolate Cream
- Dark Chocolate, Cinnamon and Creme Fraiche Dip
- Fresh Raspberries
- Pistachios
- Toasted Coconut
- Mascarpone with Passion Fruit and Mango pulp
Frost and Snow is a Social Enterprise Bakery in Birmingham that creates job opportunities for previously homeless people. They also cater for Weddings and Parties…
I know who I’ll be calling when the time eventually comes…
