ELAINE BATISTE PHOTOGRAPHY·TUESDAY, 28 FEBRUARY 2017 I spent Saturday wandering around Bexhill and making some new photo buddies from the Brighton Photography Events group led by Shane Wells. A small group of four, we met at the station and then made our way by train (and then replacement bus) to Bexhill. I had spent my… Continue reading It’s better together…
Resurrection and revamping: the mannequin dossier – part three.
Well here we are ready to get a girl back on her feet. In part two I showed you how I re-covered both upper and lower parts of the dress-form. It now just leaves her tipsy stand to be sorted out. There's often that moment when you have dismantled something and you realise you don't quite… Continue reading Resurrection and revamping: the mannequin dossier – part three.

I'm still musing over what should be the ten more things I need to make my list… Continue reading Starters orders ….
It’s harder than you think …
Blogging...! How to convince myself that anyone gives a monkey's about my day which seems so mundane that I'm too timid to start writing it down. Well it's hard. I tell myself I'm writing for myself and not to hope or even care if anyone reads it, but I can't kid myself. I want somebody to read… Continue reading It’s harder than you think …
Getting it going
The fact that I'm 50 is hardly news anymore but after a few months of easing into it, I have decided I have to make it count.

However, my sort of retirement has… Continue reading Getting it going
