Hello bloggers!
Life is still manic for me at the moment! Although, these last couple of months I have been ‘LIVING LIFE’ instead of being so bothered with ‘the perfect snapshot of this moment’. But, I miss my camera being my constant accessory. I miss almost falling down stairs while trying to change lenses or load film. I miss tripping on the pavement while looking for the perfect location. I miss remembering the colours of doors on streets and not what the name of it is.
So here I am.
I AM BACK!
I am excited.
I am ready to EMBRACE the world again from behind my camera!
 
I’ve still been taking pictures (obviously!), and to inspire myself, I’ve been slowly uploading to my photo blog. And I’ve been relatively good at uploading from recent parties.
Um. I just have to share because…


how cute is Geo to capture this moment? Thank you!
(at Jon’s best friend’s birthday. They had a UV light, so we got UV paint and got everyone’s faces! More here. And- how cool are they? They make CHAI at like, early hours of the morning. Ohh. That’s what I’m thankful for this November. Chai at parties.)

I have been glued to my fisheye&ringflash when I go out lately, but yesterday was the first time in ages that I’ve just got really trigger-happy and recorded all my friend’s beautiful faces. Lunches are such happy times for me lately. It feels nice to give myself this break everyday (I used to work solidly from 8:30 to 4:00 at school). Which, obviously means I’m not getting as much done, but my heart is much happier with these lovely folk.

I have a million updates, but basically, my mission is to get snapping again! I need my groove back! I’m pretty sure that my new iPHONE has inspired this itch!!!!

It is my babybaby and my trusty steed and I LOVE him to pieces. I finally have my ‘Mr. Steed’. We’re needed!

Oh my- and I have spent the day in the darkroom today. There is nothing like getting smelly and spending hours alone in the dark! Haha. Some loves from my Apple Cider Party ages ago. [: Black and White is my friend for winter!



Well, my dad has just walked through the door with 5 rolls of film processed for me, so see you later!!!
LOVE, kimxxoo
p.s. who’s shooting film this winter? I DARE you!

Blogging from my new iPhone?

Oh yes, that's right! I am really really ridiculously excited about this. I've had a superb weekend so far! (don't forget to check Work Your Soul- new challenge!!!) early morning painting and boyfriend visits and iPhone photos and creating my own ringtones and meatloaf and uv paint and did I mention I got an iPhone? :D more updates from my computer soon! Lovelove, kimxxoo

JINKIES!

Hey everyone!
Goal for nov; keep up with pictures!
 
First of all, we had a fancy dress day at school, heroes and villains themed. My partner in crime was harri;

Seriously too much fun! There were some amazing outfits, I was impressed. (also pleased that all of my costume could be found in my closet… haha!)

(More here if you want to see.)
I am also so in love with my fisheye camera at the moment.

My lomo lc-a is broken so I’m taking Myles and Mitch and Rod out more. (these are from sep/oct though) Filmfilmfilmloveeeee.

This weekend I have a few projects I’m working on (a new one for graphics, which I got to jump into recycling bins for- inspired by keri smith), and a play to go to and the boy is coming over on Sunday for food and maybe a doubledate with laurie&maddy;

(taken at a lovely party last weekend.)
I could get used to this.

good morning.

This is getting ridiculous.
My emac is sooo slow. Just typing takes a year.
This is a small post because I have about 10 min before I’m hitting the hay.

Time is so strange to me right now.
It slips and slides.
It is here and it is gone and it is never moving.
I have a firm grasp, I am holding air.
I am too fast, too much. I am so slow, not enough.

I don’t quite know what that is. Not really a poem, but lately I’ve wanted to just melt into pages.
The Time Travellers Wife is so comforting in my mittens-covered hands.
It is cold.
I am wearing jumpers a lot now. It is so nice.

I have been taking walks to get coffee. I think it is doing me good.
This new distraction of mine(jon) is good too. I am not getting nearly enough coursework done, but that’s okay, I am so inspired right now. My journals are personal and pretty.

My friends are fantastic.
Tomorrow I am being Velma and Harri is being Scooby, because we have fancy dress days at school.
This weekend is going to be good.
Love you bloggers, kxxoo
