monday

Today went alright.
Was pretty much dreading it as I hadn't had a chance to edit my shots and well, my RDB work is far from done.
Pretty much all constructive and positive feedback though, which is nice from time to time.
(Might have something to do with the fact I shouted that I wanted to kill myself when photoshop 'wasn't working')

Had a pretty lovely day outside of uni too :)
Got free dinner, had an adventure and beach trip with Emma, Yasmin and Dolls which has definately lifted my spirits.
Oh and the news that I'm going to watch Jedward perform at a gaybar in brighton friday with Lizzie lol. Normal.

So yeah, not bad at all. Even if I did just have to read some dull text for tomorrows ridiculous seminar.
Oh, and I have to tell me landlord that I made a hole in the wall by mistake the other night as I was too lazy to carry a stoll down the stairs so threw it instead :S
Joy.
Was gonna say I fell and knocked into the wall but then realised he will probs not believe that as I have no bruise and the dent is pretty substantial lol.

Oh well! I'll sort it.

In the words of Tanny Chiu:

Over and out x

uni

There's a reason people abreviate it.
Uni - One.

Gonna sound like a complete baby but, too much work! Get so stressed and then lonely.
Talk about a shitty cycle.

Probably doesn't help that I went to a hippy college last year.
Or the fact I have a sickeningly short concentration span.
Or the fact my depressions been ridiculous lately.

Why did they name it 'university' ? Why not 'duoversity' ? Then maybe people would feel less alone..

All in all. A big moan lol. Apologies.

On a positive note...
Back to brighton this weekend for mum's bday.
And staying with Lizz on the 1st and going to see Ellie Goulding :)

Maybe my dad will even try come see me next week, eh!...

Fuck.
Ciao x

Second Brief : Digital

So, we were given the theme

'Interaction'

for our second project so i chose to interact with the locals of the wreck hole they call 'Portsmouth' and ask them first if i could take a photo of them and then secondly

'What is your aim of today?'

My final piece will have these images and a caption with their responses with the image.

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...
