Updates

It has been quite a while since I've updated this thing. A hell of a lot has happened since then, the most important and exciting thing being that I found out I got a place in the student village at uni. You have absolutely no idea how happy I am about this, I was getting so worried that I would have to start looking for a flat with people that I haven't even met yet which would have been so awkward and inconvenient right now. But hey, I now have somewhere to live and what's more, I can move in on the 31st August which is precisely 38 days away. I am both excited and scared and also a little bit sad. Though at the moment more excited than anything and I intend to leave those other emotions until much nearer the time, by which time I will be crapping my pants!

This Sunday marks one year of being with Erd. It has all gone by so quick yet at the same time it all feels so new, which is definitely a good thing. I hate to be all gushy but I really do love him and am so incredibly happy. Big cheesy grin! Oh and he's taking me to the zoo on Sunday so I can see the gorillas. LOVE!



This is a self-portait I did for a project quite a few months back now. I have been thinking about this and my reasoning behind it and generally how much fun I had pushing myself creatively to get the desired result, and it has made me realise that the reason I haven't shot very much lately is because I simply don't get as much pleasure out of shooting a simple scene or portrait as I do coming up with a big idea and spending a long time creating the perfect lighting and creative effects to get something quite different, something I can really be proud of. This has been a barrier for me recently because I guess I think that as I don't have the convenience of college equipment anymore, I can't be creative - I've realised that I am wrong and this shouldn't stop me. From this point on I am going do tons of research and tons of thinking and coming up with ideas, then shoot shoot shoot! Lighting fascinates me, which is quite evident by this self-portrait, so I know that's definitely the first and foremost thing to think about.

I will hopefully update this soon, with some new pictures! xox
