I'm looking at you through the glass.

"Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us."  Pride and Prejudice.

I love the fashion image, i found it when searching for inspirationg for photography. It's the colous that i think make this photo beautiful, the blue black and white, also the indian headress makes it unusual. I think a photo needs to stand out as being different and unique, if you achieve this then you have little else to achieve.

I'm hoping to go out with one of my friends this week, who has kindly offered to model for me, i need to practise and collect some photos for my photograohy course next year, plus i really enjoy creative things, so doing her hair, make-up, taking/editing the photos within itself will be fun.

I found an photographer that is very good. His work is unusual and mut take so many skills when it comes to editing! He takes simple everyday things and manipulates them into something unique.

I can't wait until summer, when i can take some really summery photos.

Once i have photographed my friend i shall upload some of the photos taken! Fingers crossed we get some good ones!

I fell in love at the seaside.

Doesn't everyone love the beach? But when is it at it's best?
 Imagine a vast empty wasteland beneath you, stretching out as far as the eye can see, with gentle waves crumbling onto the shore.  The turquoise blue twinkles as the sun begins to cast its rays.  The waves create a sense of stillness, calming and cooling, gently washing away troubles and worries.
  You love the rush if waves, the coarse sand exfoliating your feet, the feeling of weightlessness.
  Most of all the feeling of serenity.
  The smell of salty air tingles in your nose, the air smells so clean, fresh and open.
  Shells lie peacefully untouched, wallowing in the serenity, they kay there undisturbed. Sleeping.
  Small footprints are barely visible as the waves dive englufing them.
  Nothing is more relaxing than hearing the gentle crumble and trickle of water, it lulls you into a serene place, where every focus is on that calming noise.

 Then slowly you hear them, gradually getting louder.  A swarm of bees to honey.  The vast wasteland is no more and the gentle calming rush of the ocean now seems like a distant dream, for now there is no noise other than the constant buzzing, running over and over in your mind like a stuck record player.  The utter calm and peacefullness has been ruined in what seems like no time at all. 
 Hoarse cries can be heard as water is splashed and fortresses of sand crumble. Laughter is also heard amidst the constant buzz of conversation.
  The previous smell of the beach has been extinguished from your nose.  You can now smell the heat.  The vingera swimming over the fish and chips, stings in your nose.
  Seagulls are encircling above, ready to dive down on their prey.

Instead of the wasteland there is now a row of colourful umbrellas lining the skyline.
Rather than a sea os turquoise and sand, there's a rainbow of colour scowring the beach/
There's a different type of beauty from before.
The lack of serenity will be renewed in the morning.

 

Remember when I was your boat and you were my sea..

Gaaaah! Exam tomorrow, feel so unerved by all the exams looming!  My way of destressing has been to be creative though. I started of writing revision notes, eventually gave up and created this masterpiece...I could definately be the next Picasso!
  Definately been giving a lot of thought to the future recently, I guess leaving school does that to you, there are so many people you are never going to see again. Even though some of them you're not even friends with, it feels strange that you're never going to meet them and they are going their own way to live a completely seperate life to yours. 
Do you ever think about what other people might be doing this very moment? It's like that now, it's all a guessing game..
The good thing about coming to the end of school, is that people put their differences behind them; so they can part on friendly terms, the fact of the matter is though we should have done this sooner, it shouldn't be parting that brings us together.
 All I can say is i'm going to miss these days, the days of being young, free, immature and all the rest that goes with!

I'm swimming in the smoke, of bridges i have burned.

So I felt like I needed to update! I'm slowly but steadily working my way through piles of revision for my exams and music is by far what is helping me complete it! Things always seem so much better when you can plug your ipod in and put it on shuffle, time just seems to fly by!
  Recently i have been playing over and over Burning In The Skies- By Linkin Park, I love quite a few of their songs on their newest album and I think it is amazing how versatile they are. They seems to have a very unique sound and voice, so if they are on on the radio you would instantly recognise them.

Before I share my recent song find, here is a picture of a tattoo I have found, which I absolutely love. I lvoe the floatiness of it and the amazing colours in it, they just contrast so well together! Not sure where I would get it though! Also wanting one of a trele cleff, but I don't want to be covered!

Okay so I have 2 songs to post.  The first is by The Material and it is called before this ship goes down. I'm not normally as keen on female singers, but I think the fact that this is a good song and she can actually sing, makes me love this song!  The chorus is especially catchy.  The singer does remind me of Hey Monday's lead singer though!



Cassidee Pope- Leas singer of Hey Monday

The next song is by This Is Freedom and it's called Bitter.  It was only released a couple of months ago, but it deserves way more views then it has!  I think it's a reall good song, and the video is simple but nice to it too!

Been listening to Kerrang! Radio alot as well, practically all day! It's good as I listen to new songs that I bookmark and then download later!  BIG LOVE FOR KERRANG!
That's all for now,
