LEMON WORLD

Photobucket

I promised to let you know how my photography class is progressing...well I'm currently in the process of un-enrolling. Yeah I know, only three weeks in. What a cop out. But I went to my second class this afternoon and decided that it wasn't a good fit - I don't have a camera of my own to play with and that's pretty much what you have to do in the subject; play around and experiment with your camera. Plus I'm probably the most technologically-challenged person EVER and all the buttons and functions were kinda overwhelming! I think I'll stick to "appreciating" photography instead ha.

It's rare that I have an OVER-abundance of good photos to choose from but that's the predicament I face when it comes to Li Hui - too many pretty pictures! Her work has a dreamy, out-of-focus aesthetic (which is everywhere, I know) but she throws in these vibrant colours - a lot like Sharon Gong's older stuff.

Speaking of photography, I'm actually doing a photography class at uni this semester. I haven't had much experience taking proper photos so this could be interesting (although I did work as a Santa's photographer over the summer haha). My first assignment is to take some pictorialist shots. I'm getting my lovely friend Faye to dress up in Victorian-esque garb and I'll take some snaps...if they're any good, I'll post them here for all to see. xx

KING'S SPEECH

Photobucket

I finally saw The King's Speech yesterday. Now I know what all the Oscars buzz was about - such a good film! Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush were fantastic. Go watch it if you get the chance, before it leaves the cinemas.

PAROXYSM

Photobucket

Wow it's been more than two weeks since I last posted...I apologize profusely for my slackness! I think I just didn't have anything that merited posting - things in my life were plodding along the same as usual (working/bludging) and I also hadn't found any pretty pictures for y'all that I personally liked.

Anyways, I'm in my second week back at uni which is going good so far. I've seen people I haven't seen in aaaages which is always nice and I'm feeling nervous/excited about the creative writing subject I'm studying this semester. I'll let you know how it all progresses...
