Things I love

24/9/2013

Well I am currently meant to be packing for my holiday (I leave tomorrow morning) and instead I am creating more chaos. My latest internet addiction is Pinterest. What is it about this website which can turn minutes into hours?

Always a good procrastinator I created a few 'mood boards' as I try and work out what I really need to take with me to the South of France. I am packing my camera and can not wait to be inspired by some beautiful scenery. Right I better get back to it, a short and sweet blog for you all this week.

Glorious food

17/9/2013

I have started following a few photographic blogs online and recently received an email with a collection of food photography. Some of these photographs were just beautiful and got me thinking that I should have a go. I had an editing job and spent the week attached to my trusty computer and thought that this challenge could not have come at a better time.

I personally love cooking and like to use whenever possible unprocessed food. Some of my friends may call me a health freak but I enjoy cooking fresh food with simple seasoning. I try whenever possible to use natural flavours and spices. I love my fruit and vegetables and believe that when you eat well you feel so much better for it.

So without wasting anymore of your time, please take a look at my attempt. Who said healthy food had to be boring?

As time goes by

Happy 1 year anniversary little Miss Blog! I still can not believe it was a year ago that I decided to give myself the challenge of keeping a blog. To start with, I wanted a regular excuse to ensure I picked up my camera and captured something inspiring.

For me it has been a year of experimenting, leaning, and constantly seeking new objectives. I have come to rely on my blog to push me creatively as well as using it as a platform to share my photographic creations. Sometimes I wonder who reads it but for me, my blog it is something that has kept me sane at times.

I am always thinking, visualising and now carry a little note pad and pen as you never know when you will get inspiration. I look at my earlier blogs where the pictures did all the talking and now I have come to enjoy writing. So I have gone back, looked at all the photos, remembered the fun times capturing these moments and put together a collect of my favourites. I know I have learnt so much in this year and wonder what next year will bring.

Thanks for the support and please leave comments and photographic suggestions,

The Kennington

2/9/2013

So it is not on my door step but The Kennington, located in Oval is well worth the short trip out of SW12. I have been lucky to have shared many special occasions here including Christmas, friend's birthday parties, Halloween (which you can read about here if you missed it the first time http://rozalcazar.weebly.com/1/post/2012/10/any-excuse-for-a-dress-up.html ) and New Years Eve. I first meet the owners and mangers Lee and Steve when I worked in my old bar which was their local. After some time, many drinks and a few crazy locks in we became friends.

In the last 18 months, The Kennington has established and developed an outstanding reputation with the locals. This personal pub offers a large selection of beer, ales, wine and cocktails. The food is always homemade using only the freshest of ingredients. They have some wonderful mid week lunch deals as well as a decent happy hour to keep everyone smiling. You can watch most sporting games and if music is you thing make sure you drop by on a Friday night.

I was asked to take some new photos of the bar as Lee and Steve had made a few changes recently. I wanted to capture the fun and friendly atmosphere which always welcomes me whenever I visit. You can find more details here on their website www.thekennington.com or like them on their facebook page https://www.facebook.com/theKennington. If it is sunny day go on and treat yourself to a cheeky drink and discover one of my favourite London pubs.

Please find my favourite photos below. Now go on and try it yourself!
