High school graduation is four days away.Final exams are less than a month away.And then begins, well and truly, a new chapter to my life. These were taken this afternoon with my friend's EOS 7D. Something else to imagine myself spending imaginary savings on... ...
Instead of studying, I am reliving the moments of sun, warmth, friends and when everything was soso much easier. I am also fixing some of my truly atrocious edits from this shoot in October last year. ...
"What you can have is determined only be the lengths to which you will go to get it." I think this is how I will choose to live my life from now on. ...
Erin of our shoes souls noted me a few days ago requesting I make some summer playlist suggestions, odd since its just entering into winter for me and bloody freezing. =P I haven't discovered any new music lately, having been restricted by capped internet and exams, but its not a bad list of artists, haha. She & Him Paper Aeroplanes (I blogged about...
So, I should be doing much needed studying but I thought I'd share with you guys one of my favourite artists at the moment, another one of those bands with songs that just make you feel that little bit more optimistic. Love it. ...
Autumn, the year's last, loveliest smile. -- William Cullen Bryant I am a girl of winter but Australian winters are quite frankly, wet and cold and never quite cold enough. I don't often get to see the colours of trees on fire, but plenty of trees actually, well, on fire. So on this lovely overcast day in a country of contradictions, I took...
Rain of stars by Mar-ka "can we pretend airplanes in the night sky are like shooting starsi could really use a wish now" ...
So my musical moods have been a tad sporadic lately...I spent all of yesterday practically weeping over Josh Groban and Il Divo, and so upon discovering this collaboration, a smile has not left my face. Yes, I would even go as far as to say Zooey may have just overtaken Emily as my favourite Deschanel sister, even if Bones is still my second...
My comfort zone doesn't quite extend from Photoshop to Lightroom just yet, but after bit of tweaking with the presets option in place of homework results in this. "Bleached Vintage" (I'm so creative with names, I know) lowers the saturation of your image and adds some warm chocolate tones. Tweak to your hearts content to make it suit your individual images - you...
I am not fortunate enough to grow up around horses, but on the rare occasion, perhaps once a year, that I find myself surrounded by these animals, I get a sense of complete and utter euphoria. Even if I am not the one in the saddle, I am the girl with closed eyes just breathing in the smell of warm flesh, leather, hay...
Went for a walk with my friend today, some 7km along the waterfront which turned more into a hilarious chase for birds. Did I mention I am very much in like with telephoto lenses? All I need to work on now is my reflexes as far as tracking said birds and clicking the shutter goes. My favourite: Also witnessed the most spectacular...
I want to live life. I want to live wide. But these days, it feels as though to 'live life' as a teenager is to go out, get drunk and make out with someone random (or not so random) so as to provide entertainment for bystanders. I wonder if my tone reveals just how disenchanted I am with all of that. I suppose I...
I had forgotten how beautiful the Royal Botanical Gardens are. Woke up and the sky was grey. Exited Wynyard station and it poured. Walked to the gardens, my friend Amy got changed and what do you know, the sun came out. Had I not ended up melting in jeans and a black shirt, and WANTED to shoot in the rain, I would've been...
There are a lot of people in the world. Too many, really. Of these six, almost seven billion, souls, more than one billion do not have access to safe drinking water. Twenty four thousand, eight hundred and fifty five people died from starvation just today, whereas another billion are overweight. The scary thing is that these figures creep up every second. From the...
