The Light Fantastic


It took Gemma to point out to me today that my images would look better on black. So here, meet stage 5; Guilt.

Started to spraymount my portfolio and think i may have wrecked it :/ not cool. 
p.s. lunchtime nachos are a life-saver

Panic Stations!


I just put Central St. Martins down as my fifth choice.
Sorry Acid Bear, you just don't cut it.

Bonkers.


Portfolio's aside, i realised i have done next to no photography since September. Bit of a bugger, when that's what i intend to do with myself. So i did a collection earlier; The Process of Personal Change. Below is stage 9 - denial. This is a kind of more in-depth spin off from my transitions project.

Laura, can you spare me a dime?



just when i think my portfolio is complete, there's always something else to add.

i seem to be going through a phase where i keep having personal questions thrown at me in the light of day. a new experience i must admit. How do you answer such things?

Winnah.




After a night riding the nausea boat, i managed to get myself together and make a start on the Portfolio. Here's a couple sneaky items that are going in - not the best but deffo the smallest (pretty much the only 2 things i can fit in the scanner)
UCAS is now all sent off, and all i can do is sit.and.wait.

Real Deep Depths


For the first time today, the hugeness of this year became clear to me.
The life i have lived for the past 18/19 years is coming to an abrupt end, and a whole new one is about to start. Everyone and everything i have known is about to become almost irrelevant. I think this must be what i've been waiting for. cool.

Tshhh

My luck officially ran out today. where do i begin? lets just say anything that could go wrong, did go wrong.

However.

i think everyone should get involved in this - i think it's an awesome idea:

Beer Cans & Pins





make great cameras apparently. Mine didn't work so well. This was my best image aha, nevermind. I'm more impressed by the guy who made one out of his wheely-bin and insists on dragging it round Brizzle. His stuff's pretty awesome though.
i did have a bit more success with these polaroids, though I promise thats the last time i do this, it's just because it's still got novelty to me.

Mother Theresa




what-oh-what do you want for your birthday? 
(I'm having one of those days where ideas just don't come naturally)
On another note, if i could produce images of this standard, i would be ridiculously proud;

Eurgh.



I simply cannot cope with this weather.  snow is magic for 5minutes, and then you see it settle and think 'shit. now what?'

We Are Family



So we inherited a collection of old film cameras. So while i was messing around with one of them earlier, trying to figure out how it worked, i popped open the back to find a film that had been used before the man died. Sadly, i wrecked it.
on a good note, my grandad came home from hospital today.
