18 wonderful years.

After 18 years as my wonderful childhood pet, Dj my tabby cat passed away the other day. He lived a long and happy life since i picked him out as a kitten when I was only 4 (I'm 22 now) and I miss him so much. Goodbye Dj. xxxxx

fancy some place new?

I love Hillhead Bookclub. It's warm, inviting, has a fantastic, reasonably priced menu and i mention they have a Sega Mega Drive and a ping pong table? Gavin and I had a lovely, romantic dinner there the other nice and I can say it was the best hands down fish and chips I've had in a long time! It's just situated on Vivicombe Street, just off the hustle and bustle of the popular Byres Road in the west end of Glasgow.

easter present.

My wonderful mum gave me this wonderful easter present the other day, much better than a chocolate egg! it was a beautiful little metal heart shaped basket filled with cute little bits and bobs! It included socks that looked like cup cakes, hanging heart items, heart hankies, a fridge magnet lots of little assorted chocolates and a lovely mug :) She also included a meal for 2 at a swanky restaurant for my boyfriend and I, we can go when we like, we just need to book it! Thank you mum, you are the best!xx

did i ever tell you.....

that my flatmate has a frog? Meet Cow, the frog. Yes it's a funny name for a tiny little tree frog but she also had a friend named Duck but unfortunatly they died. She is 3 years old and she loves to eat crickets and get sprayed with lots of water. When she feeds at night, as she is nocturnal, it's sounds like as if you'd throwing a big clump of dough at window and every so often the poor thing thinks she's caught a cricket when in actual fact it's a bit of bark and you have to force it out of her mouth. Meet Cow our resident flat frog. :)

super fat lens.

Pleased to come home to find that my Superheadz camera had arrived! Whoop. Complete with film :)

  

Not only did I get my awesome camera but there was also a tiny little toy dinosaur at the bottom of the box!

At first I thought it was a mistake but it's not as it's on the contents list on the top of the box! Nice wee addition to the package.

Thank you Photojojo, we shall do business again soon! :)

Photos to come once I finish the film and get them processed! I love the element of surprise with film and polaroid.

weekend bits and bobs.

This weekend it was my very very good friend Joce's birthday so we had fun in the park with bubbles, cameras and a frisbee and then on out for a good ol' boogie. :)

Last photo is of  Clare (Left), Myself in the middle and Joce the Birthday Girl.

real inspiration.

I know Tommy Ga Ken Wan through a friend, he's a brilliant professional photographer who is based and lives in Glasgow and he recently did a talk at The Glasgow Art School for a Media Week about being a pro photographer and how he got there. It really inspired me to do more with photography as I would say it's definitely one of my main passion in life and I'd love to do more with it. Tommy gave a lot of excellent photography advice in just 25minutes of his talk such as these wise words he read some where... " The amateur worries about equipment, the professional worries about money but the master worries about light." The video of his talk in 50mins long, it's definitely worth a watch.
