Over the years, together we’ve dabbled in graphic design, photography + film work, illustration, and web design + code, trading first as sole traders with our own small businesses, then combining them to form a partnership under the name Lightbulb Head. Since having children we’ve folded the business so aren’t currently earning money from our creativity, but that hasn’t stopped us from creating.

In this section there’s a selection of some of the projects that we’ve worked on over the years – scroll down for the most recent, or use the categories on the left to see specific projects.

Penhurst Retreat Centre Orchard – 2018

In 2017, we wrote a small python script for a RaspberryPi that would take a photo every 15 minutes in the daytime (calculated based on the python astral library) using an attached webcam and add a watermark and upload the picture to the web. Then, once a month in the hours of darkness, the code would generate a video timelapse (averaging the white balance of each picture) and upload that to the web. In 2018, we set up a raspberry pi and webcam in the orchard at Penhurst Retreat Centre and set it going… with limited success! The above is one of the resulting videos where the whole month worked!
