紙可說時我們工作上不可或缺的東西，有沒有想紙做剪紙也可成為一種工作呢？

Santa is going to be busyyyyy with my list this year!⁣ ⁣ AD| Just after summer I switched my camera gear to the @lumixuk S1R. To make sure I'm putting it to good use the team from LUMIX set me a creative challenge every couple of months, and this month's was all about "noticing details", which was perfect because my style is all about picking up on patterns, shapes & how I can play around with them. I came over to Vejle in Denmark with my camera because I'd always been fascinated with this building, The Wave, and the town is also home to Olafur Eliasson's first architectural project which I wanted to see (check out my stories to see that). ⁣ ⁣ My first idea with this was to design a surfer, but that seemed obvious so then I wanted to do something around making the building look like monster's teeth but with it being December it made sense to start thinking of festive ideas and this is where I landed. What idea might you have come up with? #shotinmyworld #LUMIXS1R

There were two toilet paper related stories that went viral recently: one was about a group of adults fighting in Woolworths over loo roll, which initially really confused me 'cos Woolworths shut down years ago and I was surprised that the journalist had brushed aside the time travel aspect of the story (until I realised the story was from Australia and that the Woolworths there is different to the Woolworths that shut down here in the UK).⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The other story was about two girls, also in Australia, who spent their pocket money filling up a cart with loo rolls which they then dragged around their neighbourhood offering a roll to any of their elderly neighbours that needed one. How charming is that? (swipe for a photo. Credit: Facebook/Petrina McGuire).⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ No one's got any idea what's going to happen over the next couple of months but we're all in it together and acts of kindness like that one will be needed more than they ever have before.

AD| It took me a little while to realise how I could step up my photography game with @photoshop because when I started I was simply taking a photo with a cutout, posting it to Instagram and that was working for me, but I was throwing away loads of ideas because I couldn't figure out how to get around some depth of field problems. Then a friend told me about focus merging in @photoshop and it opened up a whole range of possibilities with what I could do and what ideas I could pull off.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I've just posted a little behind the scenes on how I edit in my Instagram stories so you can see what I mean about the depth of field issues. I also use photoshop for colour correction, tidying up and other small tweaks but the key for me is balancing keeping the analogue nature of the real paper cut-outs on location with also using the tools in the software to enhance & improve the scene.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Photoshop is celebrating it's 30th Birthday and the team from @adobe would love to see what you do with Photoshop (as would I), so share your work with the hashtag #PsILoveYou30 and they might feature it.

ad| Over in the US it's National Travel & Tourism Week and since my last trip before the lockdown was to Tampa, Florida I thought I'd share a few more photos from my week there in the #SpiritofTravel. ⁣ ⁣ I didn't know much about Tampa before I went, but I left the city knowing: the Yankees train there in spring, the giraffes at @buschgardens love lettuce, more about the Cigar business in 1920s than I thought I'd ever know, exactly what goes into a Cuban sandwich, how good @cigarcitybrewing's Margarita Gose tastes (I have one can left in the fridge here that I'm treating like an expensive champagne and I'm saving it for a special occasion) and also that surprisingly a week in Tampa still left me with plenty more I want to do. Man, I can't wait to travel again #UnlockTampaBay #LoveFlorida @visittampabay @visitflorida

The one thing Harry Houdini couldn't escape from…⁣ ⁣ I made this for my friend @mr.kriss' brand new project @createsmartart where he's encouraging people around the world to make art with everyday objects.⁣ ⁣ On the topic of creativity (and escapism), I'm loving seeing people lean into their creative side to get through the past weeks. Here's a few things I've seen that I've enjoyed: @the_socialdistanceproject has been documenting people's dramas in lockdown, @robsayart has been keeping his neighbours smiling with new illustrations in his window each day, the @gettymuseum's followers have been re-creating iconic paintings with household objects, @whitecube have been letting well known artists such as Tracey Emin take over their account, @damienhirst designed a rainbow for people to download & put in their windows, Tom Croft set up #portraitsfornhsheroes where artists are paired up with NHS workers to paint their portraits, @adobe encouraged people to #honourheroes with their creativity (which I got involved with- see my last post), Jamie Wardley created a 100m long tribute to the NHS in grass on a field in Yorkshire, @rachthepachel (and others) have been painting murals celebrating the NHS, @saatchi_gallery have had a wide range of artists (including me) host Instagram lives inviting virtual audiences into their studios and of course when Captain Tom hit the headlines there was a plethora of art celebrating the man. More than ever I'm grateful that I've got my paper/photography hobby to keep me occupied, otherwise I'd be scrapping the barrel of Netflix shows.
