I am super proud to have been a short listed finalist in the Head ON photographic competition with this image I took in Laos. I didn’t win the competition but feel really delighted to have an image sitting amongst some totally amazing photographers in the 40 shortlisted images. We went today to see the selected images and it was inspiring!
I have been working on some Low-fi film-making. Something I totally enjoy doing!
We are creating a super cool tutorial on filming and editing with iphone or ipad. It should be out in the next few weeks and you’ll be able to buy it from our shop.
Even better, if you’re really interested in making your own films, come along to this amazing Pro Blogging event. I will be showing you HOW to make films on a shoestring!
So extremely excited to be invited to speak!! Hope to see you there!
Here is a little film I did a couple of weeks ago. It is something that has been on my mind for some time. I think 365grateful taught me so very much… and keeps on teaching me so much. This little film about finding hearts… it’s my little reminder that I will keep finding what I look for… such a powerful and amazing concept to grasp.
This was made on my iPhone and edited on iMovie (which you can use on your ipad! for only 5.99!)
In three weeks of walking on our beach every couple of days we found 352 heart rocks (thanks to the kids and friends who helped too!).
I also used this cool app, 8mm for making my iphone footage look a little old fashioned.
Here is a little postcard we did with some of the hearts we found.
IF you want to share with us your natural heart photos, please email me at hailey@youcantbeserious.com.au or hailey@365grateful.com
Amazing thing is it seems a similar theme has been on my mother’s mind too! She just spoke at a TEDX talk in Noosa. You can see it here. Great minds think alike! Speaking for TED talks has been one of my mum’s life goals and I am thrilled she did this and so amazingly well. But then again no surprises there. She is pretty amazing at anything she sets her mind to. Please do check it out. Check it out here!
So today on Instagram I had the funniest experience.
I was tagged in a photo of some street art in Istanbul! Lo and behold I recognized this artwork very well.
So hilarious to see my photo inspired a bit of street art on the other side of the world. 
You can see the artist here.
And here is the original shot!!!!
Amazing to see how far and wide this shoot went!
Whenever I work for TEAR I am so challenged and moved and pushed to grow. I LOVE IT! 5 days in very rural villages with limited water and no electricity is a very fun adventure!
I can’t tell you how much I admire the work they do! Really big post will come sometime soon. But for now here is a little taste of Laos. While there I also made a little film. So more stills and a film coming soon!
We have spent the last week trying to judge this competition.
There were so many amazing films that it was incredibly hard to pick a winner. Over 100 entries and so many so so so many wonderful ones!
Really this is just a small selection of many creative and fun films. I hope you are all encouraged and feel very proud of your work… you sure did make my job hard!! GREAT work!
