Impromptu

This was a completely spontaneous shoot done when I went to my friends for dinner this evening. I was so pleased to have my camera on me, as I suddenly felt very inspired.

Twitter

I finally got a Twitter, about a lifetime behind everyone else it seems! It may be looking pretty empty right now, but my plan is to be as active on there as I am on here, so...

I have just been given an internship at CollegeFashionista.com. Each Monday I'll take a photo of a Goldsmiths Fashionista/o and write a review of their outfit. This is my first...

Nonchalant, comfortable and above all trendy; this Fashionisto has got the Autumn/Winter look spot on, effortlessly combining a perfect balance of vintage and high street in such a way that would make any man envious and any woman drool.

Although it pains me to admit it, winter is fast approaching, bringing with it an offensive chill to the air to say the very least. You know what that means… say goodbye to your beloved denim jacket until next year, and prepare to layer up.

This Fashionisto is on the money with his high street bought leather jacket; not only is it the perfect item to keep you warm, but it’s also classic, timeless and as trendy as anything.

Underneath this, he wears a checkered shirt; a staple sixties inspired item, which can be seen as nothing but modish and cool. This, teamed with a pair of vintage brogues is positively faultless. Brogues are without doubt this winters most sought after footwear, and don’t think that you have to spend an arm and a leg on a pair of designers, or traipse through vintage store after vintage store tracking them down, high street shops are recreating them left, right and centre.

Complete with a pair of worn jeans and a simple black scarf, we can only congratulate this Fashionisto for his impeccable taste and ability to put together such an awe inspiring arrangement, demonstrating the perfect example of a winter outfit, which is beyond trendy and cool.

I want peace

Take away the 'I'; the ego

Take away the 'want'; the desire

And you're left with peace

I have an oasis

For my illustration project at Goldsmiths; an illustration for a poem named I Have An Oasis.

I have an oasis,

It's up in the clouds

Away from the rush

And the roar of the crowds,

Away from the pushing

And pulling and pain,

Away from the sadness

And anger and strain,

Away from the envy

And cheating and greed,

Away from the pressure -

What more could I need?

I grow my geraniums

And lettuce that's curdled,

In my little garden

On top of the world.

Poem by Colin McNaughton

Fujifilm

I promise this is the last thing I'm posting in relation to the Perfect Day shoot! These are just some polaroid photos I took using Fujifilm. It was quite nice to experiment with a number of different cameras when doing the shoot.

Experimenting with the the new polaroid film, created by The Impossible Project. Unpredictable but lovely to experiment with.

All I Ask Is A Perfect Day

All I ask

Is a perfect day

On a perfect beach

In a perfect bay

In the perfect shade

Of a perfect tree

With a perfect view

Of a perfect sea

With a perfect breeze

And a perfect sky

Read a perfect book

Swat a perfect fly

In a perfect pool

Find a perfect shell

Eat a perfect peach

With a perfect smell

Skim a perfect stone

Dig a perfect hole

Catch a perfect wave

Score a perfect goal

Make a perfect dive

See a perfect fish

With a perfect tail

Give a perfect swish

Then in this perfect world

Meet a perfect friend

And bring this perfect day

To a perfect end

Inactive

I have been so inactive with my blog recently, I blame not having the internet. As of Monday this will change (finally!) and I will make sure that I make up for my inactivity.
