Instagram and the 365 project!
I've decided to take another stab at taking a photo a day for a year, made much simpler by the fact that I now own a smart phone with a ok-ish camera and I have Instagram - a free iPhone app that adds filters to photos and shares them on your Instagram account and with Facebook, etc. (however you configure it to). I'm enjoying taking photos again! Yay!
So, without further ado, here are some of my fave pics so far. If you have an iPhone with Instagram installed, you can follow me on Instagram, my username is Sheeeva. Be warned, I take a LOT of photos of my cats!

Testing my zoom

Ready for your close-up, Miss Lily?
After the burglary, I had to get a new camera. I've been playing around with it, trying to get to grips with how it functions - it's a bit fancier than my old beloved camera. This is a pic of Lily, taken with the super macro function (fixed lens - I have to physically get close to the subject to take the photo), aperture priority mode and natural light. Isn't she gorgeous?

One year ago
One year ago tonight, we lost a friend. Ivan was killed, I'm still not sure how or why.
I don't understand why someone like Ivan had to die. He was only 38, he had so much life to look forward to. I totally took for granted that we would attend each others children's weddings - that we would be friends until we were old.
There are so many other people who deserve to die, why him?
Last year we had such good times together - memories that I will never forget. Ivan showed us Cape Town and he showed us, by example, how to live. How to be spontaneous. How to laugh! How to accept people.
I miss him, I miss our friendship because, even though his wife and girls remain, it's not the same. Something is missing. He is.
