MOOD: Productive
I feel as though when i write my blog, the title and music choice is influenced by the "30 Day Song Challenge" me (and the rest of the world) is doing on Facebook at the moment. You are given a phrase for example "A song that makes you happy" or "Your guilty pleasure" and you have to find a song to fit the phrase. Today was a song you can dance to, so Warriors Dance was an obvious choice to me. Since seeing them at Leeds Festival 2009, i am totally in awe of them, fantastic stage show and fantastic music.. I am still sad about not going to Leeds this year. Boo hoo. Still no developments on the Benicassim front though. Sadly.
Maybe no developments on Benicassim, but i do now have a problem on that front. I quit my job. They were absolute tossers to me for being ill and the so called "managing director" couldn't manage an egg in a frying pan. Arrogant and self centered are two words that spring to mind. Although i will be about £60 poorer next week, i do have my WHOLE WEEKEND free. Hurrah. On this free weekend, i have so far listed 20 items on Ebay, done most of the research for my log book and cut up magazines. The weekend is still young, i have so many plans!
I've got another one of these really daft "mini brief's" this week, this is the penultimate one, so 1 week and 3 days and i shall be free of them, probably not forever. This weeks however, is more interesting than the previous 2, infinitely more interesting than the one last week, that i actually haven't even completed (yet). Maybe that can be another project for this weekend of freedom... This week is "Memory Triptych", create a triptych that contains images of a positive memory from your childhood or younger life. I have decided to base my idea around learning to swim as i feel this was a very important part of my childhood, i learnt to swim at a very young age and don't actually remember it, but i do remember being one of the only children at school who could swim, i remember my step dad not being able to swim and it made me feel so grown up. I remember loving water as a child, so i felt as though this would be a good idea to explore for my triptych. I'm shooting on Sunday in Blackpool sea with either my housemate or his friend, depends which one of them i can bribe to do it. Either way, we're all going to be soaking and freezing by Sunday tea time. I'll update as soon as possible with pictures from the shoot, wish me luck!
I have however been down to the beach again (surprise, surprise). I think i am obsessed with it. But the weather has just been so nice these past few days that it is really hard to keep away. Its my happy place. It blows away all my cobwebs and clears my little head. I took a blanket there on Thursday and sat on the beach for a few hours doing University work, its sounds so cliche but it helped me clear my head and dream up some new bits of inspiration, which was very helpful.
The weather turned a bit sour on Wednesday afternoon, and what i thought would be a beautiful sunset, was suffocated by cloud. It did however, make for some interesting images...
Not amazing, but successful nonetheless (i think).
I've started getting really into Flickr. Got my first comment the other day, and someone favourited one of my images. It was ever so exciting. Check it out... http://www.flickr.com/photos/poppy-fields
