THE GREATEST SONG IN THE WORLD

2010-12-06T23:51:00.002Z

So I'm back, to the velvet underground
Back to the floor, that I love
To a room with some lace and paper flowers
Back to the gypsy that I was
To the gypsy... that I was

And it all comes down to you
Well, you know that it does
And lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
oh, and it lights up the night
And you see your gypsy
You see your gypsy

To the gypsy that remains faces freedom with a little fear
I have no fear, I have only love
And if I was a child
And the child was enough
Enough for me to love
Enough to love

She is dancing away from you now
She was just a wish
She was just a wish
And a memory is all that is left for you now
You see your gypsy
You see your gypsy

Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you
And it all comes down to you

Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you

I still see your bright eyes, bright eyes
I have always loved you
And it all comes down to you

this week

2010-12-06T22:43:00.004Z

the past week I have been snowed in, cabin fevered, insane, drunk. I've took lots of photographs (when I got out the house). I realised that the only thing i'm able to walk outside in is...

I feel invincible in these. doc martens, saving jess riley's life since 2002.
so when I have money to develop my films, we'll see what boring objects I took photographs of in my delusional state. can't wait till the snow to melt so I can get back to wearing desert boots.

my friend The Secret Stylist, (follow her blog; http://thesecretstylist87.blogspot.com/) sent me this video which i'm intrigued and shocked and have loads of different emotions about. I love Kirsten Dunst though.

Excited about this film:

so so so so so so excited. should i download or wait for it to come out in january? help. i've not been this excited about a film in years.
got a cold and a cough and i'm dying in my freezing living room. i'm full of shit today but i just want to say...who's voting for cher lloyd? i swear to god, she's not a nice person!

last but not least INSPIRATION FOREVER . NAN GOLDIN .

big love

Wild At Heart

2010-11-29T14:26:00.002Z

I'm feeling strange and only having thoughts about Wild At Heart and Wagner (is he ok? will he recover after the hate from Simon Cowell and Dannii (waddabitch) Minogue? ) and that I have to do a uni project based on Virgin with studio lighting. I HATE THIS. what a shitter.

gonna take pictures of frost and birds and my beautiful sister in law today.

spectra

2010-11-26T12:25:00.003Z

okay so I bought a polaroid spectra and used some expired film that i've had for a long time. I just can't seem to get the hang of the lighting. but I guess the expired film isn't helping. guess i'm gonna have to fork out for some non-expired film. blergh.

Fire Walk With Me

2010-10-12T14:50:00.008+01:00

Been really terrible posting on here over summer. I have alot to post so this is what i'm going to do this week! Back at uni and started my first project, portraiture, which i'm loving.
I needed to post some photographs from this shoot I found on Vicestyle.com by Jonathon Leder

ahh they're incredible.

FIRE WALK WITH ME

I now have some amazing ideas for our narrative project coming up in the next couple of weeks.

Inspiration of the summer. Big love.

Too many photos I know but I love her! Black and white roll of film from York should be ready on Monday. Exciting.

Laura gets a scare

2010-05-21T12:42:00.002+01:00

I've been wanting to take this shot for a while.

2010-05-21T12:20:00.007+01:00

Ah lark it.

Here are some long exposures Andrew did in my back garden. The best view ever, i'll miss this when we've left.

Landscape

2010-05-20T15:50:00.001+01:00

Here are my favourite images from my Landscape project which we where set last year. Here they are, black and white 35mm. They where taken at Grimsby docks except for one which was taken down Cleethorpes seafront. I love the little out houses there, i'd love to own one! Imagine that...Have a day at the beach and go back to your miniature house for a cup of tea and a wash. Lovely.

Such a wonderful woman. Wasted life and talent.

Holga...

2010-05-19T01:34:00.000+01:00

Here are some of my favourite images from the two 120 films I got developed last week.

Linsey and Sophie at Luke and Jenny's leaving party.

The Bommy.

The abandoned shops down our way (Norfolk Park, Sheffield)

A tree shot for good measure.

Only action sampler shot that came out from Ed and Anne-So's wedding. I love it though. Oh and this one of Andrew's face!

Pint of Jupiler, Belgium, I miss you.

And here's some from when I took my Holga to Corporation. We met some people and took some pretty cool shots...here they are.

Sophie and Laura

Adam Lond

The lovely man who works in Chino's. Shame it's a complete dive.

Hopefully my other film should be ready to pick up on Thursday and i'll be printing some of my black and white 120 film which I shot on my Diana. Fingers crossed for a productive day in the darkroom sometime this week.

Abandoned cinema and Park Hill flats.

2010-05-13T01:06:00.000+01:00

A couple of weeks ago me and my friend Sophie took a trip up to this abandoned cinema past Hillsborough. It was a pure pain in the bum trying to find it, but we eventually did. It was a pretty rough area, but such a nice night so we bought a capri sun and some snacks and we where laughin'. We originally wanted to try and get in, but sadly we found no entrance and it kinda felt weird trying to get into an old, abandoned building in broad daylight. It was built in the 30's as a cinema and ended up a bingo hall at some point (not sure of the exact dates) so it would of been amazing if we got in. I'm gonna try and go back on a real mission and get in.

This is the front of the cinema. I took this photograph from the big roundabout across the road. Here you can tell how big the cinema really is.

Park hill flats. Pretty much all the blocks are abandoned except for one I think, maybe 2. They're really weird. Interesting to document, i'm definitely gonna go back here.

These ones are still occupied. Something really strange about this flats. They are totally uncanny! Here's a toilet that we could hear dripping water in, scary! I love these ones though.

Today

2010-05-12T16:58:00.001+01:00

The lighting was lovely today in my bedroom so I decided to take a few snaps. I've also borrowed my boyfriend's mac so had a little mess about with Photoshop. Nothing major though, i'm not a fan of heavily edited digital images...

Black and white..

Only 2 in black and white, but I thought they worked quite well. And here's the rest...

This one is behind my curtain (inspired by Birgit Jurgenssen), want to work on more like these over summer.

Baring my soul and that...

Last one

I'm quite pleased with these. I find it really hard using myself as the subject. But i've decided to start a 'self exploration' project over summer. Learn how to photograph yourself! I've been using Francesca Woodman, Jo Spence and Birgit Jorgenssen for inspiration. I'm going to shoot a a role in film sometime this week. Eeeeee. plans!

fresh start

2010-05-12T12:52:00.000+01:00

I've now finished my first year of university. Which means I have a full summer to experiment and work and make and create and just be generally productive. Read read read, shoot shoot shoot! Today i'm going to pick up two 120 films. One black and white shot on Diana and the other colour on Holga. I haven't developed any 120 film since last year (I developed my first in the darkroom, it came out blank. My developing was fine...my Holga just needed taping at the back...well I hope this is the reason or else the film i've just developed will be f'd!) Wish me luck!

I love Anders Petersen.

i like the idea of a triptych of eg. my room and have only one of the photos including me. my inspiration for this is "My time to go, self portrait" by Youssef Nabil.
