First Italian Shoot

Ever since we've moved to Milan, I've been so busy with first unpacking and then school starting seemed to make everything very busy. I've been very fortunate to have met some wonderful people in our new location and they've made me fall in love with Italy altogether. Last month, I've been slowly starting to get the photography going again. Of course I'm never really without photography, which my Flickr account can vouch for. And although I take lots of pictures of my own children, it's always different to do them for someone else. It almost felt like getting on a bike again after 20 years. Not that I've ever been without a bike for that long, but I can only assume it feels like having to get adjusted initially, but fairly quickly getting the hang of it again. I'd have to say that the children I got to photograph are first of all extremely nice and did exactly as I asked them to and second of all it certainly helped that they are all very good looking and thirdly the girls had the most adoring matching coats in different colours! I'd say see for yourself.

Fun

The fun thing about blogging is, that you get connected with people with similar interests all over the world. Somehow I stumbled upon Susanna. After following a while I noticed her winged messengers and when she offered them to anybody who was interested in putting them somewhere, I immediatly jumped at the change. Soon two beautiful winged messengers were sent my way. I had fun deciding where to put them. In the end I put one and the other in the British Museum in London.
