letter from my lover on valentines

m's scribbles and silly poems on my feet

my beautiful girl,

you are asleep beside me, and despite the deep rumbles and grating gears of the passing vehicles on the highway outside our window, I feel so content, listening to your breathing, and the wind in the tall backyard tree, and now it is silent of all cars and trucks and roadnoise, and now it is nicer than it was before. with you I have learnt the most about myself, and consequently the world, and with you I am calmest, clearest, happiest, realest, warmest, and all other superlatives that could be used to describe just how right things are with you. I have said it a few times but I'm not sure I've ever truly been able to express just how much I appreciate you, your presence in my life, all of the things I have learnt from you both directly and indirectly. the world will change and change often, sometimes dramatically, but I know our love will always remain. we are the strongest of the strong, and I will never leave your side.

thank you for all that you have blessed me with. i am indebted to you.

yours for all time, and timelessness,
m

my dear old father

each time he was near (between one of his trips far away) he'd leave me with a world of knowledge. an entire lifetime of experience like no other. i missed him a lot as a small child, but he does more good for society than he would for just me. 

i've been hoping he'd come home since i was a child and now he finally is.

the color shop

'great grandma' example. a free photoshop curve available HERE!

tonight (after many, many weeks of scattered sleepless nights) we are finally releasing our new actions/curves blog. we felt the boring design of our old blog didn't quite match our creative passion.

incase you're confused, the color shop is a website selling (and sometimes giving away- see above!) photoshop presets for photographers. so in a blink (with no effort or skill needed) your images are given color, contrast and tone to match a particular feel. because we're film fans most of our colors replicate old film pictures. most are presets we use ourselves. it's kind of like magic to us.

it has sucked up all our spare time lately, so we hope you can appreciate all the little features we added in and not be mad for any inactivity. with the money i earn i am hoping to buy professional film equipment so i can begin to make a series of short films. matt wants to buy a campervan so we can travel around the country, documenting our life and the lives that cross our own. so we are grateful for every sale and we love to hear how the presets benefit you- so let us know.

keep creating,

nirrimi + matt
