This sea urchin picture started with Scott messing This sea urchin picture started with Scott messing around taking phone pics of a sea urchin he picked up during lockdown. Once he edited it in extreme high contrast, we couldn’t believe how well the spikes photographed. One afternoon all of us went to the beach with my nikon . They gently lifted the urchins out of the water and I photographed them in the few minutes we had before the spikes start to droop from  being out of the water and needed to be returned to the sea. So a real family effort 😊

I watched a toddler today sit at his mothers feet I watched a toddler today sit at his mothers feet in a coffee shop happily playing with a toy catamaran. Pretending it was sailing along imaginary waves. These island children of ours have such a unique lives. They identify with boats like city kids would to cars and are used to discovering starfish at their feet during a swim. I hope they’ll always remember this magical time

“At our core, I think we feel pulled to document & share things that remind us of what it feels to be a kid again. It doesn’t matter the artform or the medium - a good memory is usually comprised of something that we feel compelled to remember. Sometimes it’s silly, other times serious. “- thats just how we felt riding along empty Tamarin beach just for the fun of it. Lovely little clip by@jobirtuk
