obligatory about info

lorissa (also referred to as lor or lols) is a south african (and a very proud one at that), living in oxford, uk with her husband and cat, pelei. she is a freelance web and graphic designer, and photographer (currently rather interested in food photography). she co-created expressions which is the photoblogging system that powers this site. she spends her days in front of a computer or behind a camera - not a bad way to pass the hours. she has various interests and is inclined to: illustrate a children's book, establish an animal sanctuary, design a greeting card line, create a photography book, travel the world and learn other languages (she's actually busy learning xhosa). she's an agnostic, vegetarian, rugby-loving, coffee-addicted geek. she tends to worry too much, stress too much and laugh a lot.

her greatest passion though is photography and she never leaves home without a camera. she fell in love with photography at a young age but was always rather nervous handling the family camera due to her knack for dropping things. it wasn't until 2000, when she got her hands on her own little camera (her canon powershot s30), that she began to truly explore her love for photography. she now owns a variety of cameras from a snazzy canon 30D to her somewhat broken holga (she dropped it - surprise surprise).
