For the theme 'Comforts'...
I didn't actually stick to my theme but here are some photos for my new project.

Bye bye Christmas. This probably would have been more relevant in January.

 

 

I did actually want the trees outside to be the main focus of this shot but mehh.

Probably one of the only shots that goes with the theme.

That's my hair in the toilet, no biggie.

Peeping Priya.

I had some photographs that I really didn't want to use for my project (because they sucked). I took some inspiration from Wolfgang Tillman (again), and also Peggy Preheim. They are a bit rough around the edges, but I preferred the manual approach than doing it digitally.

Hair.

Inspired by Wolfgang Tillman's 'Urgency' pieces. I have no idea how he created his versions, but I decided to experiment and make the most out of my newly blue hair.

Attempt 1.

Attempt 2.

Attempt 3.

I did some 'Windows' improvised editing.

Black and White...

So I finally got my precious black and white photographs back from Dunns and I'm really happy with the results. Obviously not everything was perfect and how I wanted it to be, but shit happens.

Nests. I don't have an A3 scanner but I tried to make this look how it does in my sketchbook.

I know that Bruno is a bit out of focus, however the shed through the window is his house. Therefore he needed to be in this shot. (Plus he's so cute).

I love bananas, I love milk, and I love eggs.

I didn't like this much. But I had three photos I wasn't keen on, so I decided to combine them.

The two photographs on the outside didn't turn out as planned. Rather than throwing them out, I combined them with this photograph of all the things I put aside for charity after cleaning out my room.

Again, I had two shots that I wasn't completely happy with blahblah combined blahh.

My Favourites....

No editing was done here (or on any of the photos), I just held my arm up against a white pillar. I didn't expect this shot to turn out so clean.

Here I was trying to created a double exposed shot of the clouds, and the holes in my favourite socks. Although you can't see the holes, this is definitely my favourite photograph I've created in a long time. I do love those socks...

Hope you enjoyed these, any feedback (especially negative because people are too scared to do it) would be much appreciated.

Trying to find work to do whilst I wait for my photo...

I couldn't develop my photographs yesterday because it was Sunday, then I couldn't develop them today because Max Spielman didn't do b+w, then neither did Jessops. Then the woman at Calumet told me to go to Dunns. So i had to go all the way to Cradley Heath and leave them there overnight. Whilst I was waiting for them all these days I decided to make myself a title page to display the type of film, worked out quite nicely.

I just created it on the computer, printed on tracing paper and then stapled it to the page.

2004 India

In 2004 my Dad took me to India, just the two of us. I can't really remember much about it other than that it was awesome and so chilled. Today discovered some photographs under my bed that I took whilst I was there. I think they kind of sum up the whole experience.

I made some cute friends...

 This dog was lovely.

These two aren't the best quality but I thought I'd throw them in too. 

 I can't remember who the man in this photo was and I didn't really like it, so I decided to do some more mediocre editing on paint. I'm still not sure about it though.
