O hai.

I loved my week 2 photography assignment so much I bought the company. I mean, I did the whole thing twice, once at the beach of the abandoned Shoreham Fort (these here are my favourites from the fort, which I took to class tonight) and once in the woods. As usually, they’re a shitload better uncompressified and on Flickr. I think I’m becoming obsessed, which is just as well because I mostly feel sad at the moment and taking photographs is something that makes me feel less sad. The way I figure it, the more photos I take the happier I’ll become. I heard that’s the way it works for humans so I thought I might try it out and see if it works for me too. You never know.

Isn’t it strange the things that can save you?

To happiness, then. And a kiss on both cheeks for you.

Hello babies.

So for my photography class assignment this week I had to produce a fuckton of self-portraits, literal and non-literal, no post-processing (ack!), with my amazing new/old Canon EOS 20D. I am loving doing this so much, learning so much. I feel so happy, so calm, so right, when I’m making photographs, it is just the best thing. Though it is weird spending so much time thinking about yourself and how to comunicate you through images, composing those images, taking them, looking at them, deciding what is right. My hour with my camera in the woods (top right) playing and messing about and setting up the self-timer and running away was the happiest I’ve been in ages. True story. I can’t wait to do landscape. More clouds! Whee! So I’ll put a few up here every week, my favourites, but if you want to look at them properly, and see the others, have a look on Flickr because the compression on Tumblr is shocking. Shocking, I tell you.

Some of these I really love, some of them I don’t, but I’m learning and loving it which is the whole point. I’m presenting the final 18 in class tomorrow (I’ll be calling them GPOYW because I love confounding people) so why don’t you come watch me stammer and blush and laugh and I’ll let you buy me a pint afterwards. If you can’t make it tomorrow there is always Flickr, if it do ya and thankee sai.
