I never use this anymore, I'm pretty busy with Japanese at the moment. I start University in 13 days, I will blog try to about Japanese studies and me. That should make it easier to post photographs without a photography head.

trip to the zoo

This is a little bit out of the blue, I've been having a difficult time with photography of late, anyway I was flicking through some photos on my laptop, seeing if I could trash a few random digital snaps and I came across this little set. 

I went to the zoo for my 19th birthday- ignore how sad that is I freakin love the zoo. Anywho's I found the photo below, i'm so lucky to have gotten this shot, this photo just warms my heart. Found this young orangutan just chilling on a hammock, I got so distracted by it I almost forgot to photograph it, I only managed two shots and this was the best, the other one there was too much of the glass sheen visible. Anyway about 5 secs after this some guy with an basic nikon came up with his 2 ft long telephoto lens and sat infront of the poor thing for 15 mins. I wouldn't have minded but why get such a fancy lens when your camera is like 6 megapixels. pssh rant, anyway I love this photo and here are some more hairy beasts below.

I get that these photo's arent so great but im really feeling pretty low about conceptual photography atm and theres nought wrong with some happy nanimals. This was my 5D's first proper outing, i'm so paranoid about damaging it, i will deffo get snapping soon though man up liz.

architecture?

 

most recent photos from Birmingham and around my gaff. feeling very stale creatively, really need a trip away, i have run out of themes and ideas i'm just photographing vaguely aesthetically pleasing images.

yay, i drew some things for my folio as i have a couple of interviews, the last one isn't great but w.e. I am running out of images to draw, as i can manage profiles but straight on portraits are pretty much a no-go. plus these drawings don't actually relate to my photography very well, bet hey ho. better than nothing, all drawn with a 0.2 uni pin fine line, which is a beaut far better than the pilot liquid ink I've been using before. Inspired by ekaterina koroleva , at some point i'm going to try to draw hair :(

i really have no idea how to compose this post these photo's are allll over the place, anyway square format, these are the images i will use for my pathway project final i think

self portraits

 i really like portraits, but not of myself, its far to difficult and i always over analyse my face. However due to being cooped up at home i tried to take some "honest" self portraits, no makeup. I played with editing again, definately going to invest in photoshop so i can do circles of colour etc, make it a bit more interesting.

these are pretty awkward and raw, i think i would love them if it wasn't my face, 3rd/4th is a classic myspace angle, but i genuinely like how awkward it looks.
