Hey anyone who still might have a cheeky look at this if it comes up on their blog roll, I'm currently selling packs of 5 6x4 prints for £1.50 including postage here! Prints will include old, new and never seen before work and I need some money to develop some films, so if you feel like helping a sista out please go to my cargo and buy a pack! And then have a nose round at my new work

this is really lame, but i was wondering if more people look at this or my tumblr, because i want to delete one of them and just get a website. i’m probably going to edit my flickr down to 5 or so photos too. tumblr is easier to manage but more embarrassing really for me because i post a load of crap so i don’t know which to keep, i might just get a new work tumblr and keep the other one for things i find funny, or just delete everything lame off that one and get a new one for things i find funny and keep it a secret so no one judges me on that. COOL. comment on here on message me on tumblr if you feel like telling me.

2011-05-04T16:23:00.000-07:00

i just felt as though i should mention the wedding. i was in london for the day but i managed to avoid the whole lot some how and arrived at charing cross just after the whole thing had finished, right in time for discounted pizza and emptier streets.

I got 16 rolls of film back today and i'm just sorting through them now. being at home is so boring, not home as in the general concept of home but actually being in my house, i can't wait to get back to university.

2011-03-26T10:03:00.000-07:00

this week i went and stayed at a 4 star youth hostel in the lizard, which is the most southerly point of england, for free with uni. we had to teach kids aged from about 8-15 how to use pinhole and digital cameras for 3 days from 9:30-2:30 then we had the rest of the time to ourselves. i managed to get 3 splinters, cuts all over my arms and legs, a scratch on my head, shoot 7 rolls of film and quit being a vegetarian in my time there.
here's some photos from the first roll of film i've got back from the trip

oh hallo

2011-03-20T15:13:00.000-07:00

lately my life has been a bit shit/stressful, well actually this week has been ok. i've been really awful and i've only taken photos one day this week and mainly i've just been hanging out and cutting my own hair. but i guess it's ok because i bought this top for £1, i made a friendship bracelet with laura and i got a free can of coke this week. also i'm in this exhibition, i am on the look out for a hot date, male/female, i'm not overly fussy right now as long as you come with me and you're taller than me in 4" heels.

oh ok, i went to a party as margot tenebaum and i went swimming as well.

hopefully all of these photos will help me convince someone to come with me.

The other day I was in an exhibition for the launch of the second issue of Untitled. It was a fun evening and there were some really good talks and I'm kind of hoping it'll happen again and I can get drunk at another exhibition. (This has happened two weeks in a row, I'm kind of upset that I'm not in an exhibition and getting drunk this weekend.)

a walk

2011-02-28T05:00:00.000-08:00

I took the diana out on a walk on a very nice sunny day in falmouth. the last two weeks have been pretty busy for me i've had a deadline and exhibition photos and things to sort out so i haven't been actually able to go out and take photos very often so i thought i would make the most of a little spare time i had.

this is probably the last post i'll be doing for the competition, so here's the final push! please help me win!

thankyou very much to lomography!

Last week I was mega poor. I went to asda with Charlie and spent £4, he looked poorer though cause he had to use one of these coin machines. I got a load of free food off everyone though which was nice, I got a free mcflurry and fries of Conor, iced tea off Charlie and Pizza Express from James, I'm pretty sure Laura bought me a sandwich or something too. Anyway, here's some more images off my diana courtesy of Lomography UK

I'm waiting for my first colour films to be processed by the lomography store in london so i don't have anything to post about that at the minute. they were very friendly and sent me 3 rolls of colour film and are letting me process my films for free! I went on a walk around Falmouth with my flatmate the other day and hopefully they should come out nicely, but i have been very busy this week with my current university project work as well.

2011-02-16T14:34:00.000-08:00

So, here's another blog for you to comment on to help me win. I put some expired film in the diana i got from lomography uk, and this is the result. It expired in 1994. That's when I was 4 years old, PRETTY OLD. So it went a bit crazy, the paper seems to have printed itself onto the negatives which is kinda weird! If you look closely you'll see little numbers, the grain on these is insane.

Here's what normal, indate film used with a holga looks like in comparison;

2011-02-14T12:18:00.000-08:00

the other week i entered a competition on the lomography uk facebook and i got into the final 10 so they sent me a diana to have a play with!

BASICALLY the winner of the competition is the person who gets the most comments on their posts about the competition, so help me out :)
