Will you be my model?
I think today is one of the best days i've ever had. EVER.
There was no crazy partying or smoking or drunken fights and no one got killed. ( as far as i know) No dragons were sighted and Hitler is not back to life through a miraculous dragony revival. There are still chavs in England and i still live there.
BUT there are other reasons why today was fabtastic.
I finished my ppp (photography portrait project). :) Cliff helped a great deal, seeing as when i started doing photography, i didn't know that the shutter release on the camera is in fact the big fat button everyone pushes to take the picture. Yes, quite sad, isn't it? :)
I made my project on street portraits, so i had the great pleasure of being the "weirdo with a camera that looks like it weighs a tonne" and that goes up to people to freak them out. Well, not really. It wasn't so bad.
Cliff didn't come up to people, because we agreed that that would just look slightly creepy. I mean.. a 43 year old man stopping you in the street: " excuse me, may i take a picture of your little girl?" - hmmm.. NO.
Overall we only had 3 "rejections" and funny that they were 2 foreigners and a goth. =)
Took some fab shots, even though the camera was pretty ancient and it wasn't digital. (Nikon FG 20)
There are so many strange people in this city.. it's incredible. But that's fine by me, since i got some cracking subjects :)
It was an amazing day from all points of view. I mean.. it included photography, strange people, great friends, Bournemouth, chocolate and better yet: Cliff.
I would write more, but my internet is about to be cut off by evil parents.
So i'll end with this. This day was awesomeness because it had just the right people in it. And chocolate.
Many thanks to Cliff, couldn't have done it without you, me lovies you. *kissezzzz*
Yes, i spell kisses wrong intentionally, got a problem?
