In The Wind

Ramblings, dreams, and more ramblings.

Good Evening,
                      So today I took this photograph as 64/365, and I actually am pretty happy with it. I haven't liked my photographs for a week or so, so I am happy that this went well. I am going camping next weekend. I love to camp, there are always places to walk, forests, beaches, rivers, lakes and all kinds of places. These places are so pretty, and next weekend a friend called Tia is one of the people going, she is 11 and she wants to do some shoots, so we are going to do a few. There is a beach where we are going so I need to come up with some concepts. I hope that my sister will be modelling too. I will try to take lots of props, and I'll also be trying to use my film camera, as I haven't used it properly in a little while.
                      (you can't 'tab' on here, and i always want to 'tab' my paragraphs, so spacebar x22) So, I wish I had the ability to write a book. I do not. But I wish. I wish I could write a book that I could live in. Thats a bit mad. But I want to live in a book. I may have mentioned that before...
                      Last night I had this dream, it had one of my friends in it, and its weird because I have dreamt about this friend before. And When I have before, (more than once) I wake up feeling weird, and think about that friend a lot throughout the day. These dreams are peculiar. Also there are those dreams you have of people, when you know who the person is but it doesn't even look like that person. Once of the most annoying things to me, not just in the dream area but in general, is when you wake up from a dream thats not finished, and you try and go back to sleep so it'll continue, but it never continues. I really hate that.

I don't even know what I am talking about.
                     
                   

I used to do a lot more photographs like this. Grainy are much more raw than my recent photographs. I also have so much film that I've not developed for about a year or two. I've got some black and white stuff I'd like to develop. I can't remember whats on it, but I don't think I would have wasted black and white film. 

So I am going to try and take more photographs in this style. 

At the moment I have this love for the band 'First Aid Kit' and I think that anyone reading this should go take a listen to them. Their lyrics are so beautiful, not to mention their voices. They are just completely inspiring. They make me want to go live in the woods, burn fire wood and climb trees. 

Beginings Where There Are Endings

Oh hello blogger,
                          You look different, what have you done? Changed your layout. Well this was confusing, and very different to the old blogger. I am yet to decide if I like things like this. I guess that its kind of cool.
So, my college course is finished. It was such a busy week, running to this shop, running to that one. Spending money here, spending money there. I spent so much money on printing and hanging, I hope that it was worth it, because if I do not pass I will be angry that I spent so much money. So that was my last year of education.
So I was scrolling through facebook, just because there was nothing to do and came across David Talley's 365/365 photograph I read the caption and it was so inspiring and motivating. I have followed his 365 project since I discovered his amazing photographs on fickr a while back, and stalked his whole photostream. Each photograph is completely unique, powerful and visually beautiful. Looking through his work makes me want to push myself, and become the best I can be in my art. I want to start a 365 project. I have tried before and never had the time. I always gave up, and I know from various other photographers how hard this project is, but they have pushed through and I know that I can too if I put my all into it. So I will hopefully be starting the project soon. I can not promise one photography every single day. But there will eventually be 365 photographs.
This is all I have for now.
Goodnight

Seeing Things And UFO's

Today me, my mumma, dad and Shanice went to Great Yarmouth, a tacky beach town. We have to drive around half hour to get there, and on the way we go through a lot of countryside. We went through a field and it was very picturesque. I was looking at it and suddlenly saw a model and myself in the field doing a photoshoot. There was a whole set and so on. This happens to me a lot, I see something I find interesting and suddenly I see a set and a styled model and a whole photoshoot happening. I wish my life was that program, that cartoon where the girl has a magic pencil and whatever she draws comes to life. That would be amazing. So many beautiful things would step out of my page, that I could photograph.
Did I mention how beautiful the moon was last night? My oh my it was so beautiful. It was a full moon and it was really big. It was beautifully mesmerising. I really want a telescope but they cost a few hundred pounds and I do not have that kind of money. At the moment I have three pounds to my name, until I get paid.
I need to make a UFO, it needs to be at least half the size of a car, but I have no idea how to make it. It doesn't have to work obviously. I would like it to possibly be made in 2-3 weeks, but I don't think that is possible as I haven't even a clue where to start. I want it to be the traditional saucer shape with a glass/plastic roof/window. Thats the difficult part. It doesn't have to open or fit anyone in it just has to be UFO like. Does anyone have a UFO they can lend/loan me? Or any suggestions as to how I can make one, considering the size I need. I would appreciate any suggestions or spaceship you can give me.

I Want To Make Things Grow

Hello,
Today I got up early(ish) and went shopping with my mumma, I really like going shopping as I love supermarkets. I don't know what it is about them but they are so big and there's so much to look at. I went into the supermarket and they have these new things to keep their vegetables fresh, they blow out a damp cool mist, which looks great. The whole area was covered in a yellowy lighting and I felt really odd. It was something I'd never felt in a supermarket before. It was as though everyone were not real but I was, and they were just figments from a computer. I don't really know why it felt like that, it was almost like a dream, or like I was stuck in a game.
Today it is raining a lot, which it hasn't done in a while. I don't actually remember when it last rained properly, but it wouldn't of been that long ago. I quite like it to be honest, I mean as long as I'm not going anywhere I need to be dry for then I do like the rain. I made dad come out in it and we went to the alotment. We found out what number it is, so we wanted to go look at it to see how much work needs doing to it. The answer to that is, a lot of work, but I am quite looking forward to the challenge and the work. I am hoping to make it look really nice. At the moment it is over grown with weeds, has piled of rubbish on it, old rotten chicken eggs are in a small shed and the gate is made from an old red door that is rotting to pieces. When the weather is a little better me and dad are going to go and start clearing it out. We need to take out the thousands of nettles and weeds. Clear out the piles of rubbish, make plots/boxes to grow vegetables in and consider buying a greenhouse. Its all going to be a lot of work, and going to take many hours of getting covered in soil and dirt, but I can not wait to get started and finished. I have taken some before photographs on my 35mm camera and I will take an after one when we have made it beautiful. I want to make things grow. All kinds of weird vegetables and flowers.
