Bump.

Having gone through all the Pixar Shorts now, THIS ONE is by far the best, probably one of the best bits of animation I've seen in a while. So lovely, I wish real-life things were that cute. ♥

Two of my images are on the Vice Student photo channel - they didn't put in the other three. But I'm happy with two. There's not that many photos on there yet so I won't quite drown just yet - I'm on the first page today :)

Out of choice I'm still working on the Project Management RDB - typing and dragging and dropping pictures is much easier than cutting and sticking right now.
Nearly done, then I'm giving myself a break, I've been sat here since lunchtime, just doing work. Wahhh.

I'm feeling happy.

My research & development folder for Project Management 2 is looking much better than it was. Due to it having to be in PDF format (I'm doing it digitally), I've decided to split it into three separate files for ease of reading - otherwise everything just get's squashed into one massive file together and it makes it very unenjoyable to read.I've written all my seminar notes into it, now all I have to do is actual research, which won't be too difficult, although I've seen a lot of people around who seem to have done LOADS.

I'm going through the Pixar shorts back catalogue. (1984-2009)
They're quite enjoyable but the early stuff is unbearable, it's amazing how far everything's come though. If you can guess what these stills are from I will look upon you fondly.



Back to work I think.

A girl from Wednesday.

I saw her, her top was odd.

Let's Wrestle!

I think this is quite a wonderful set on it's own, it's a shame that for the project I kind of have to limit myself to 'only Moon' - I'm not changing it but in terms of images like these, it's a bit annoying.
The lighting in these are quite good as well. I enjoyed taking them, and letting other people take some of them.
Last night was a good night. I have almost no idea why everyone is arm-wrestling.

This is my favourite.

I'm glad I have images to show on Tuesday now, I was so panicked, half the time they don't care about your research - but there are so many people who've not even begun to think about starting yet. My research needs to get a move on though, but with this weather it's hard to find the motivation and not just go back to bed where it's warm.

Some more of my lovely life.

Yesterday was a pretty productive day in terms of taking photographs, and not just photographs, photographs for university work. Exactly why, documentary photography is great.
These are some that I took during the 'day time' - it was pretty laid-back and lazy yesterday.

I've spent all afternoon listening to Paolo Nutini.
I'm putting up my Christmas decorations tonight. This is a 'sculpture' I made from my horse mask.

Productivity.

Yesterday, I was in my lounge from ten past three in the afternoon to half past 3 in the morning. It was quite nice. Pics later.

Thank you Mr. Postman.

These came in the post.

From It's Nice That.
From Vistaprint.

I don't know if I'm obligated to promote Vice as a Vice student ambassador, but I'm doing it at every opportunity anyway. Apparently they're not taking that many on anymore.
Quite like my business cards, feel so professional, they came with a neat 'business card case' too, but that's too shiny to Photobooth. I'm not sure if the cathedral will let me use them at the exhibition because the woman that works there didn't want 'undesirables' getting hold of our information and ringing us etc. How would 'desirables' be able to get in touch though?
Regarding the exhibition, most things are going alright, but my group has to wait on the others for information on sponsors and guest speakers, as well as addresses for who other students want to invite. It's got kind of tense between the group as well, which is a bit annoying but I can deal with it because I don't actually care enough.
Brief two is coming along alright as well because I have plenty of research - I still need to put it in my RDB, but once it's in there it will look badass.
For tonight though, I am going to drink wine in my pyjamas and watch Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, because it's the weekend and I have actually done stuff today.

I slept 11 hours last night - I went to bed at quarter to 11. It was quite good. But I think it's slightly too much sleep. For some reason I was mega-tired yesterday.

Climate Change Mexican Wave.

Unless you are guaranteed that hundreds of people will turn up to your flash-mob, it's going to look pretty anti-climactic.
I thought at least 200 people were going to this, kind of glad I just snapped some photos and wasn't participating.




Street photographs when I have time, am too bogged down with research etc to get annoyed when Photoshop decides to shut itself down (yeah that's already happened twice tonight, so forget about it).
Found these, they're so neat, there's a Martin Parr pair too.

'I am trying to sleep!'

I think I'm obsessed with beds..

Kind of like that these are bit blurry, and red. I could have changed them but I didn't want to, we'll see what Judy has to say about it before I go deleting the RAWs though, haha.
Moon was quite cross with me when he woke up this morning, even though I took these after 8am, typical.. even though they were before 9am...
