I have not written much on here recently, but that is because I have been writing other things. Firstly research proposals for Masters at University, but secondly I have been writing poetry and some new songs. I am feeling a whole new wave of inspiration flowing over me recently, and I feel sometimes that expressing myself through my imagery (photography) is just not enough. It all seems to be pouring out in song, which is wonderful. This weekend (apart from working) was spent recording music with my very talented Dad, he really is amazing. Sitting down with my guitar in my lap, singing my new work to my father (the coolest musician of all time) is such an amazing experience. One day I may just have to share some of it here.
I have been listening to Joni a lot recently and have been reading about her life. She really went through a hard time as a young woman and musician. So inspirational, so much in fact that I have some really cool news to share, but perhaps I will mention this in a few posts time when it is a little more certain :) ... I am sooooo excited about this.
Until then I am thinking I am going to have to get myself a little bit of a trim at the hairdressers. My hair is so long at the moment... I miss having a fringe... I am thinking I may just have to channel a bit of Joni.
Just a quick post to share something new.
I would have to say one of the hardest things I have found so far about moving to the other side of the world would have to be, not having all of my photography equipment with me. I must say thank you to all the lovely people out there helping me find places I may buy film from and get rolls processed. I am especially lucky to know a lovely man allowing me to borrow his scanner whilst I wait of a box of my photographic goodies to be sent over from Australia... scanner included (sigh)!
Here is a frame from a body of work I have been working on... I do love the results I am getting, I really feel as though my work is evolving, I am very pleased with the direction it is going in.
Here is a frame from a recent photoshoot conducted in Paris last month - Please excuse the dust marks.
