A few years ago, the first time I did a masterclass at SWPP I met a girl called Jayne. I had finished my presentation and this beautiful girl came up to me at the end, tears and snot streaming down her face.  The photos and the presentation had her all emotional and we had a really nice chat.  It’s something I will always remember. Her reaction had validated my photography. I always said I wanted people to feel something when they look at my pictures and she clearly did!  She and her husband Joe are photographers and I’ve watched them build a lovely business over the past few years.  She has been taking some beautiful detail photographs recently and she inspired me to do the same.  I’ve been playing out this morning and have taken some photographs of things I have around my home. Treasures that I love including my favourite shoes, my best birthday present (a papier mache elephant!) a car we dug up in the garden, a Tiempe Passate bottle, an old milk bottle from the 1950s that I bought on Ebay last week and a book that my friend Rachel Hayton gave me.  Thanks Snotty Jayne for inspiring me to take some photos for fun.  They won’t make you cry but I hope you like them!
