The trouble with film photography is that you spend an hour running naked round your house, racing against the self timer to climb into the cupboard or the washing basket, posing correctly, and then have nothing immediate to show for it. The waiting is worth it mind you; the results are always much nicer than digital. Time for a cheeky nap.
Having one of those nights where your brain gets knee deep in philosophy. One thing on my mind in particular is friendships, and what you have to do to be a “good” friend, well, the parts that really matter. I spoke to a friend recently who was having some trouble, whilst I was going through some of my own. We talked about their troubles, but I got no “how are you?” back....

The first time that I met her I was convinced I had finally found the one. She was convinced I was under the influence of all those drunken romantics; I was reading Fante at the the time, I had Bukowski on the mind. She got a job at Jacob’s serving cocktails to the local drunks. Against her will, I fit the the bill. I perched down at the end of the bar, she said, “Space is not just a place for...
Beauty School, Crotch Out →
“If having it waxed is what it takes for someone to love their vagina, then so be it. Maybe this is me rationalizing. I guess I’m old enough to be OK with my own hypocrisy to some degree. Still, I fantasize about making my future clientele watch a brief film about why pubic hair isn’t somehow unfeminine or gross before I agree to remove theirs for them.”
2 tablets of Fluoxetine every morning - check One little purple pill every morning - check 6 paracetamols a day - check 6 Beechams a day - check 8 Penicillin tablets a day - check. If you turned me upside down right now, I’m pretty sure I’d make the noise of a Rain Stick.
I am now refusing to take paracetamol/ibuprofen for my fever because that is just too many chemicals that...
Little Hell
I haven’t slept yet but I have read a book from start to finish - Looking For Alaska is a good book. It’s weird to think that 2 weeks ago my family were feeling the same things. It’s even weirder to think that 2 weeks 1 day ago I wouldn’t have been able to identify at all.
So it’s not even six am, but my dad and brother are up and getting ready for work. It’s...
I am one sick pup right now.
I wish I had a house elf that could play with my hair until I fell asleep.
Sometimes you know you’ve got a chance with a girl because she wants to fight with you. If the world wasn’t so messed up, it wouldn’t be like that. If the world was normal, a girl being nice to you would be a good sign, but in the real world, it isn’t.

It`s not about seducing men, it’s about embracing womanhood.
Your Body Is A Wonderland
I’m snugged in bed and next door are playing John Mayer very loudly in their conservatory… oh God it’s changed to Michael Buble, change it back! Change it back!
Tonight I was supposed to transcript my interview from yesterday but I was dead on my feet when I got home, and then got distracted on Skype. The interview went so great though! It was so relaxed and fun, everything you...
I don’t want your blessing. I don’t need caressing. If you find me guilty then I don’t want your sentencing. I don’t want the seasons. I don’t need a reason. Only want your pressure if it’s to stop the bleeding.
Friday: Bristol to shoot Flood Of Red Saturday: Full day of work Sunday: Trek to Southampton to shoot Your Demise.
Gotta fit in an interview/photoshoot in Oxford over the next week as well.
Oh boy.
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts...
So good news for everyone who’s been hassling me about nudes/self portraits; my next college project is about Constructed Forms, and mine is going to based around human form, using a medium format camera à la Francesca Woodman. I’m kinda excited :)
Francesca Woodman - On being an angel, 1977.
Well, Sunday definitely did not disappoint. Apart from the fact it was too rainy/not enough light to get any decent shots, I had a wonderful day.
Adam and his band came down from Oxford and it was so good to meet them all, especially Adam whose music I have loved for the past year. We headed straight for Nando’s and did the obvious; see who can eat the most XXL sauce. I took it like a man,...
I think it's time you let go, and I promise that...
I’m supposed to have a shoot today but I don’t really know what’s going on with it, and I’m unimpressed to say the least with how rainy it is. It sucks having your mood affected by the weather, as all I want to do right now is stay in bed and hide. None of this is helped, of course, by the fact the tax man has taken all my wages and I’ve just woken up from a dream...
Need to finish this one at some point too - the whole banner needs re-doing so it’s going to take a while.
First coat..
I’ll take a proper picture once it’s finished :)
Write one leaf about time travel.
Me, my friend and my tutor were discussing this the other day. “If you could go back to any decade, which would it be?” They both said the 60’s, but my instant reply was the 40’s, for the fashion, the morals (well, some of them, mainly the chivalry) and the music. I wouldn’t want to stay there long, mind you.
My problem is with people that say “I was born in...

“It’s just hard to see a friend hurt this much. Especially when you can’t do anything except ‘be there.’ I just want to make him stop hurting, but I can’t. So I just follow him around whenever he wants to show me his world.”
I’m sat at work wishing I was sat at home because I just feel so sad. My brothers partner took his own life last night,...
