Hi you all :)

I have finally come around to editing some photos I took almost a year ago on a trip to Sydney and the Blue Mountains. I am super excited with how they turned out.

Misty Surrealism

 

Road to Surrealism

As you can see I am on a bit of a B&W spree, and ever trying to create a sense of surrealism with some of them.

I really love this next one. It has the ability to mess with your mind until you don’t know from what perspective you are viewing the photo. (It is just one photo, not two  or more photoshopped together – just letting you know).

Fix iPhone 5 Battery Life Problem!!!

If any of you like me have an iPhone 5 or updated to ISO6 which made the battery life terrible, then this post might just help you.

My iPhone 5 battery lasted on average for only about 8 hours under moderate use before it needed another recharge. This was getting really frustrating and I was considering taking it to a shop to get looked at…if you feel the same then don’t worry. It could be a very simple fix.

I followed the simple instructions on this article by Ben Grubb.

What I did with my phone was:

- Go to SETTINGS   -   GENERAL   -  and scroll down to RESET   -   then RESET ALL SETTINGS

Iphone Reset

Don’t worry this will not delete any data on your phone, it just resets all your settings, so you will have to re-enter wifi passwords and re-upload background images – but all these are really easy.

-  After this go to SETTINGS   -   iCLOUD    -  and turn SAFARI off.

iPhone iCloud

And you are done!! That’s it!
Just let your battery run flat all the way (until it turns off by itself), then charge it fully.
After doing this my battery has gone from lasting 8 hours to now lasting more than 2 days – seriously no joke!

I really hope this works as well for all of you as it did for me! :)

Book Trailer: Through the Bleeding Doorway

I am so excited!!! I have just created the first trailer/teaser for my upcoming book!

A little insight into the story, Through the Bleeding Doorway:

Tristan is embraking on a week long hiking trip with his friends. He is hoping that this retreat would be a peaceful escape, but soon finds his inner demons tearing him apart. When Tristan is confronted by the darkness stirring from the inside and outside, he has to gain the courage face his past, present, and future.

Can Tristan overcome when the fight for his friendships, sanity, and life becomes a battlefield within his mind?

Please let me now what you think, leave some comments!!
