Similar to a photo I took earlier this year that didn't make the cut. Ideas are on the slow side for now so I'm doing what I can to stay in the game ;)
Much love,

161/365 night fog
Via Flickr:
It was evening, I looked outside and there was fog everywhere... I HAD to get a photo so I dragged my friend who had come over to chat outside into the cold for a shoot. Unfortunately I am a wimp when it comes to the colder temperatures so we didn't last long... but I tried :)
Much love,

Okay guys, don't say I didn't warn you that today's description has absolutely 0% to do with todays photograph. Its very personal, although not altogether serious... more suited to a diary entry so you will be given a free pass to ignore it. Okay? Okay. Now that that is over and done with we shall continue...
So the other week I was sitting down at dinner with some of my pole friends and within the context of the conversation one of the girls made an offhanded comment about being doomed to be single for all eternity. Now considering the way it was spoken I would usually just let it slide and continue the original conversation but on this particular day it occurred to me that this was not an isolated incident and maybe my friend was starting to think her prophecy was true. So I decided to be cheeky interjecting (as you do) with:
"Well if thats really what you're afraid of why don't you try online dating?"
This question was met with nervous giggles on the part of the other girls at the table, and a mortified stare from it's recipient.
"No seriously, what's the harm?"
Anyway, apparently in this day and age of 2013 'that kind of thing' still isn't done, and if men approach you online then they only really want to use you for your body and we women deserve more... or some such thing... it was confusing, I couldn't really follow the logic of the argument although I am sure there must have been some there.
Anyway, thats not the point of the story. The point of the story is that it got me thinking about doing the whole thing myself *shock horror* It was an off the cuff kind of thought - because I'm in no way looking for any sort of long term relationship but dating could be fun. I think dating itself is a lost art form... if it ever really existed in the first place - but I did get so far as to think about the kind of profile picture I might use were I to embark upon such an adventure. I mean, I've spent the last half a year doing a self portrait project, one would think that finding 3-5 appropriate pictures of ones self would be easy after all that...
he-he.... bahahahahahahhahahaaa!!!! Not so much..... not. so. much.
:S
I found myself looking at all of my photos with new eyes and while I'll stick to my earlier comments about the collection as a whole rounding out to be a pretty descent portrait of myself, at the same time on an individual level I was looking at them screaming "NO DON'T JUDGE ME BASED SOLELY ON THIS. PLEEEEAAAASSSSSE!!!" :S eek.
And that is my point ladies and gentlemen... 160-182 days later (depending on your point of reference) and yet at the same time, nothing. lol
Much love,

Ahh I remember this day. I remember it well. This day was the day I drove into uni to hand in 3 out of the 4 of my final assessments :D!!!!!
Random side note: does anyone know why, when walking down the hill to get to this little stream and take photo's, one might discover that the top of the hill is dry, the bottom of the hill is dry, but the middle of the hill is a big boggy mess? Why? Isn't water supposed to flow to the bottom of the hill? So why is it only boggy in the middle? Any answers will be greatly appreciated.
Anyway, it was actually quite a warm day this day and all of my class finished the week before and I was feeling lazy and I didn't think I was going to see anyone I knew on my walk back to the car. So I managed to convince myself that post photo-shoot it would be perfectly acceptable to not bother getting fully dressed. No! Get your head out of the gutter, I was perfectly decent... just not fully accessorised, no shoes or stockings or jumper or belt or hat, etc.
You can see where this is going right? After an entire day walking around campus, perfectly dressed and not seeing a single person I know... I walk back to my car looking like a barefoot homeless person and see friends all over the place. I am not ashamed to say that I ducked my head and kept walking away. There is always next semester for catch-up sessions right?
Much love,

157/365 leafy textures
Via Flickr:
I just felt like something a little bit different today so bare with me while I learn how and when and how much to use textures as a creative element in my photos.
I have a story to tell and its almost killing me not to write it down here but the story just somehow doesn't seem appropriate for right now. Soon though, soon :-P
Big thank you to Virginie Moerenhout who has some beautiful textures on her stream for a) sharing and b) allowing the rest of us to play around with her work. Check out her original picture here.
Much love,

156/365
Via Flickr:
Sigh. One day I will remember to leave over exposing my photos to post processing. Until then you will have to deal with the occasional loss of detail in photos like this one. Nevertheless, I still like it :)
Wow, uploading three whole days worth of photos today, I'm on a roll!
Much love,
D.
