The Down-Hearted.

Corr I've been some-what busy.

-I haven't, I've just been extra lazy.

But I just found out today that I probably not going to Paris with some friends in January, great. I don't know, I really just wanted to get out of here for a week, my first proper holiday with friends and not family. Guess I'm either going somewhere on my own or walking around London for my project... Most likely on my own.

My final pieces for todays due project were absolutely crap. I didn't put that much effort into it but I did get a really nice comment from a boy in the crit about one of my pictures, but I'm a little suspicious he was taking the piss...

Went shopping today 'cause of this whole Paris thing I figured I could go shopping and a girl in my college gave me a 25% discount for H&M, so I bought some jumpers and a top. Got some shoes an all.

-More like beasts! Got to tame them you see...

Didn't really spend that much but deffinately taking a top back from Topshop. My stomach just currently ruins outfits.

The Critical Me.

So, what've I been up to lately? Mainly work.

- Getting drunk and singing Placebo to myself, more like!

I really want to do well, I don't know what's suddenly changed... I guess I can't risk the same-old me being lazy and risking everything for a last minute work load.

But anywho, the photo above is one of my final pieces for the latest project. Looking, and responding to Andy Warhol's theme of death (in some of his work) I came up with my own view. I guess I'm calling this series of photos "Didn't Mean To Scare", or something along those lines. I've not really decided.

This project looks at the fear of death (obviously). It's common in all of us but it's a natural thing. We accept nature. But not that part. I just find it strange. SO, I looked at horror films, the old ones bare in mind, Nosferatu, for example and I even looked over Sam Taylor-Wood's Bram Stoker's Chair.

The photo above is the unedited version. I photoshopped this photo to look like an old film but that's currently still at work as I'm not sure if it's... Too much?

A project still on-going, I guess. I'll leave you to think whatever you like, over one photo.

- OHH! I forgot to mention. This series of photos is the "next step" to the photos on my last blog.

The Trying Photographer.

Question: Why do I keep writing my titles like that?

- 'Cause I honestly have no idea.

Anyway, today has consisted of mainly rain, photography and more rain. The rain was nice though, I was tempted to run out in my garden but there was always people in my house who'd be like "Lara, what the hell are you doing?" or, if you're my mother, would have had a fit.

The photos I took are for an on-going Photography project that I hope will get better. You know, moving my ideas on, etc, etc. My project theme is Death and I'm supposedly responding to Andy Warhol. The photos I took look nothing like Andy Warhol's stuff, but do not panic! The next series of photos will look a bit more like Andy Warhol and the next, and hopefully the final piece, and then Voila!

- I'm not that proud of these photos, but I needed something quick and done for tomorrow!
