Project One: Transitions


'This ones for you Milo'

Got my first uni brief 'Transitions' and had to shoot with b and w film... something i was never too confident with, mainly cos i've been taught the process really badly, in shit dark rooms, by shit tutors at every college i have been to in the past. BUT, went into it open minded and came out with these images...

I based my work on the transition of day to night and the magical almost eery feel the subdued moonlight gives along with street lamps and car lights.

I shot my first film and got one shot i was happy with ...
so had to go out and shoot a 36 exposure film at twilight in the rain whilst trying to balance an umbrella on my shoulder and judge exposure whilst trying to keep very still for the longer exposures.

spent like 2 and a half hours in the dark room basically vomiting photos in a mad last minute dash to get some prints before the deadline. anyway....

Home/Home

Felt so homesick i came home to Brighton this weekend.
I'm here. And now i want to go back to Uni... feel like i'm missing out loads.

Why can't you be in two places at once???

Oh, also, used my credit card (which the bank really shouldn't have given me) for the first time today... not cool.

Don't you hate it when...

...you speak too soon?

Today has been okay...



Been living here, with company now, for almost a week. So far, so good.
Feeling pretty chuffed that i'm still alive.
Was majorly homesick a few days ago though, guess it's normal.
Pretty happy at the mo, things are nice :)

Brought a bike today and went on a bike ride with Emma around Portsmouth, lifes good.

Quitting smoking, been 3 days.

As i'm writing this Emiliana Torrini - Today Has Been OK just came on...
