Tripod anyone?

RAWRRR.

Im considering starting a new project while i'm stuck here in Cornwall. It would be another night based series. Not entirely sure why i like night time so much, but i think it has something to do with the absence of people, which has always fascinated me. When I was little and saw Jurassic Park 2, I thought it was just sooo awesome to see all the visitors reception and buildings all overgrown with plants and run down-ness. Maybe i'm just weird.

Anways,
I have one major hurdle, i don;t have a tripod as its in bournemouth, just chillin in my studio. which by the way currently has some awesome lampshades in it, as instead of taking them apart to store, i figured i would just put them up xD.

Another Anyways s,
The part of the world i was bourn in & currently live in, is quite different from most other parts i've been to. People find it really hilarious that theirs only one shop (spar) within miles of my house. I just find it inconvenient.

so yea, was thinking of taking some photos of it at night.
since you know, i cant seem to find any people still awake after dark (except on friday nights).
And everyone knows, i'm busy on friday nights ;]
lalaala


anyone spread some thoughts on my most primitive of ideas?

London, calling.

Well.
So i finished uni, that was fun (it was not fun at all).
Now what?

The plan!
1. Move to london.
2. Get a job working as a studio assistant (since thats actaully what i'm best qualified to do)
3. Be happy (or be miserable)
4. Get a cat. (meiow meioww)


So now you see it.
thats my master plan.

Currently i'm having a mini break in cornwall with my parents, as they miss me (so i'm told). Lucky just for a week, as the lack of anything interesting going on is already getting to my head.
I shall be living with my friend Chantell (http://chantel-beaven.blogspot.com/) who makes many random and wonderfull things out of other things. Go check her outtt.

Have not been doing much photography recently, as have sorting out my affairs for my old house which has been veryyyy time consuming, 3 years of stuff bulding up, one month to sort it and only a small amount of space to put it all in.



GOOD NEWS EVERYBODY
-------------------

I forgot what it was tho. But i'm sure it was amazing.

Anyways,I realise its been farr to long since i last posted, so i shall try to post more this week xD

Hope everyones good, leave a comment below if anyones got any ideas for things to do whilst im in cornwall.

See ya laterr (dumm dee dumm dee) (decepticon, le tigre)

Its been awhile

It has indeed been awhile since I last posted anything. So I thought i'de upload a bit of my old portfolio.

This was all shot in a week, at around 1-4am, it was based on the nightlife in bournemouth, specifically that of an event I extensively worked with - Big in Japan.

Anyways.

Specialist Practice.

My last project in uni was the Specialist Practice, which is basically just a test shoot for our Final Major Project.
Anyways, heres a few images from it. The idea was documenting the music scene within Bournemouth (in a less obvious way), all the images from the project were of musicians/DJ's&VJ's etc.

Sneeky peek at Big in Japan from January.


As I sit down tonight to edit around 900 photos down to 90. I find myself procrastinating (nothing new their).

Anyways, I felt like doing a blog entry. This being the first one I have actually written in haha.

Ive been working on my book (btw i'm making a book about my 3 years in Bournemouth), all morning, so got bored of that and needed to get all the Big in Japan piccys ready for Jason (master of the blogs).

Heres a little sneeky peek at whats going on. I seem to be reverting back to standard 35mm 3x2 format for my club photos. Although i'm still working in square format for all my other work.
