And then suddenly, it was basically over.

So, I think somewhere on my memory card are my final images for this project and I have no idea how this happened. After lame a background change to changing back, I'm suddenly ready to buckle down academically again and let my creative side lay dormant.
I have no problem that this has happened because it makes what I need to do over the Easter holidays a whole lot easier, all I have to do now is preview everything and print off some samples for the 'Final Crit' on Tuesday, should be easy.

I'm relieved. It's like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders, once again I fear my coursemates will think I'm a nerd. I don't deserve this after the drunken wreck I was on Tuesday night and the Tuesday night previous. I guess I just can't help what a undeniable genius/amazing Photographer I am... *sarcasm*

An Instax shot of all the name labels and sharp and hurty pins in the bin, hurrah!

Bonjour.

I feel like this 5 and a bit week lead-up is allowing me to settle in to being more Christmassy. Paris/Disneyland are going to make me feel even more so, I'm so excited now that I've found out that Disneyland Paris has a Tower of Terror. AHHH, so close, only one full day to go!
Here is a great photo of Moon.

I'm so pleased I have enough worth handing in as a draft for my dissertation, even if I don't write any more, which I probably will anyway. Guilt-free Paris, especially when realistically I can finish my other project super quick if I needed to (I just won't).

YOU ARE NOT A SINGLE LADY.

D'awwwww! ♥

I found another 30 day challenge which I think might be more up my street. But I might do it in a couple months as A) I'm right in the middle of doing this one which I'm doing with a few friends and B) August gets a bit hectic at points and I'd like a bit of a break from being so meticulous and rigorous.

Cross.

Fairly sure that my face isn't usually like this;

I don't want to go back to that mall,

the photobooth was full of eels.


Hahahaha!

Wow, lol.

I didn't notice this yesterday, talk about advertising.

This is me reviewing how well another shoot went..

..it was ok, better than the last one.
It was interesting to be thrown into everything and be given a ready-styled model. We were shooting this mini brief based around the film The Hunger - which the clothes were inspired by - for Dazed&Confused/I-D, the images were quite blue.
No photos to show you this time, we weren't taking them on my camera, and as a matter of fact I wasn't really taking anything.

At least there were less rows, even though the same person who was annoying the first time is even more annoying this time. No research, again. Nice one.

I wish I'd found this myself, I didn't. I love Lily Allen. I hope this photograph is up at the NPG, I can't wait to go home and see it if it is.

I have to really prepare for my shoot on Thursday, it's not too hard, just need to get around 20-30 questions and mix them up for each guy to answer, I think it's much easier to get them to fill it in rather than record them, I bet it could get really frustrating having to type it out, plus it will give each of them something to do while I'm photographing another. I can't wait to do it though.

I went to the doctors today and they are giving away a free cinema ticket in exchange for a chlamydia test. Bizarre, it's to give people incentive so they make their 2000 quota.

Polaroids.

Should get one of me and Gabriella to complete the set and put them on our mantle.
These are difference responses to the same thing, Stacy's face was better the second before I clicked the shutter.

I love Polaroid, I fail to see how film that expires in 2006 is being sold for more on eBay than the films that expired in 2009. We're running out, man, I think someone needs to get in gear about making a cheaper substitute, it doesn't matter how costly they are to produce.

What?

I'm currently going through psychology journals to look more deeply into the idea of the 'couple world' that I'm basing my project on, this came up.

I have some photographs to upload of some street stuff I took today, as well as images of the flash 'mob', will do this when I have at least 3 articles to reference from as the one useful one that I could access is basically against anything to do with couples.
'Couples create their own world, an autistic world rather than a transitional one, they are simultaneously stuck together and isolated from one another and the external world. Claustrophobia and loneliness ensue'
So bleak.
