feeling a little odd.

The rain doesnt help and im still getting over a cold. Im currently single but remain good friends with Laura, on monday we are going to the cinema which I am looking forward to. We're going to Leeds to see it which is convinient as I feel the need to buy some new clothes.

Yesterday I bought a vintage electric guitar from Oxfam, a pretty high price for a charity shop but hey whats new there. Ive tuned it and tested it through my amp. It needs a little TLC but i can tell she'll be a lovely guitar.

Got a roll of film developed yesterday too, I shot a whole roll of Kodak Professional T400 CN [now discontinued] Expired in 07/2004 and the pictures are mostly without noticable grain on my 6x4 prints. I got them processed at Max Spielmann as its a C-41 process film. Unfortunatly some pictures came with slightly odd hues to them. Most pictures look fine. I will be posting them when I get home from work. Taking self portraits on 35mm with a manual focus camera was an interesting experience, and I felt it went pretty well with some good results.

When I got back home I made myself a drink and checked what was happening on facebook. Hannah posted a picture of herself with some crazy glitter makeup and a plea for someone to save her from boredom. So I came to the rescue ha ha! We watched Dont Look Now and laughed most of the way through it [we watched it on possibly the biggest tv I have ever seen] then we lounged about and caught up on what was going on in life. The deep meaning of the end sequence to Dont Look Now is still something neither of us can decifer

Yesterday was a fun day indeed!

however today im feeling pretty adverage and I still have 5 hours to go before I finish work. I want to go back to bed at the moment.

Edge Cut Fun

So this morning after watching a John Pertwee era Dr Who Serial I made some coffee and harassed Laura to get up . Laura had brought over her Polaroid camera and it was loaded with a pack of "Edge Cut" (one of the 3 packs I bought from The Impossible Project a months ago, packs were like £8 each so I snapped up as many as I could) We descided to take some pictures indoors first as it was raining heavily outide. then we went to an abandoned caravan nearby to take pictures there. The caravan is no place for a girl, its probabily the most disgusting place ive ever been in. Anyway we trod carefully avoiding the bird poo and the broken glass and shot lots of pictures. I took my Minolta X-700 and Holga CFN with me aswell as the Polaroid P-Cam.

London pictures need to be developed and also my black and white 120 roll which should be developed by me by the end of the month. Come on Darkroom =P

London

Ive been away for a while

Last week I had the week of as of Tuesday. On Wednesday I went to a nursery school to shoot pictures for the headmistress there, it went pretty well and I got some really nice shots I think. Thursday I packed my bag for London and got the train to Laura's. That night we watched Aristocats and played numerous board games which was pretty fun. Friday morning bright and early we set off an after a tiring train journey we arrived in London. That afternoon we explored some of the city and discovered the delights of Hummus Bros a restaurant near our hotel, they served allsorts of hummus delights. The next day we headed around the city again taking in the sights and sampling delicious foods. Our stay lasted until monday afternoon. The weather was wonderful and sunny (which unfortunatly made the underground a little uncomfortable temperature wise). We crammed in a trip to the Movie Museum, Tate Modern and alsorts of other exciting things. We also made a fort in our hotel room. It was a great little break and I was happy to spend it with Laura.

Here is the cute teapot I bought alongside my new pocket watch.
