Late last night I was playing around with imagery, and this happened. I don’t know why I always go back to this same theme, making hints at consumerism and making point of the nation being clones, or sheep, as I have commented once before. I’m a hypocrite, I love fashion, I love shopping, I love buying things even when I don’t need them. I don’t know why I do it.  I just don’t know! The photograph I used wasn’t taken by me, I don’t know who it was taken by and for what purpose, but it suited my needs at the time.  The montage isn’t a neatly put together image, nor is it of real artistic talent. But I thought I would post it , to show you want I am questioning to myself. Why do I always go back to this theme?

I contacted Out Side Room about photographing them at their recent show at Dogma, Reading. I thought that getting experience in photographing a band would be good and beneficial to me as I had never dabbled in it before. 

I found and learnt from this experience that it is all about keeping things natural, being familiar with the band and not standing back in the corner. I feel from experience that, looking at a shot of a band,  I want to see something from each of them come through. 

Here is a couple of shots which I took, I am currently in the process of editing down the imagery (so Out Side Room - if you’re reading this, they’ll be done soon!).

Untitled Project, an idea and intrigue.

Recently, I have been doing a project based on self-portraiture and I have been using my  phone and DSLR as my mediums.

Whilst using my iPhone, I constantly switch around the camera view from the back of the phone to the front so I can see myself clearly when doing a shot. Yet the amount of times I have got unwanted photographs of my bedroom or the bland living room wall is massive, all for trying to vainly photograph myself!This annoyed me. 

Yet this annoyance is now beginning to intrigue me.

I have taken so many photographs and deleted them purely because they hold no interest, they are unwanted photographs of moments in time which show no story, holding nothing but the vision of “this photograph was a shit mistake”. 

These shit mistakes have become interesting, and I am going to pursue this interest and make these shit mistakes into ”Happy Accidents” because that is how I have started to view them now. 

Below is an example. In beautiful low resolution quality with thanks to the iPhone.

Ambition.

I feel ambitious right now, and I haven’t been able to grasp onto this feeling for quite a while now. In fact the last time I felt like this was when I was at college, in 2010. 

I feel young, and feel that the world is my oyster again. And I am so pleased this feeling has found me again. 

This is my life.

My dreams should be able to come true.

and why shouldn’t they. 

I’m living MY Life.

I only ever will be living MY Life.

My Life.
