Sat 23rd July 00:15 - Long time, no see...

Why am I updating today? I dunno, i'm feeling creative but without actually doing anything, and no one is going to read this anyway.

Lots of thing have happened to me since my last update, I had my birthday which went very well and was a happy time around my friends, then someone came into my life that was totally unexpected but then slowly faded away, which has so far left me completely baffled. That, my declining health and finally ending a friendship with someone that I thought I knew has left me feeling pretty crap.

On a more positive note i passed my CBT on 05.05.05 which means I can officially ride a motorbike but alas, I still have no motorbike to ride yet, doh. I also finished college, my final images where based around scrap metal and portraits with the final images displayed on thick sheets of steel, my tutors were suprised and impressed, I think, I was happy with them in the end anyway. I received a letter off the college thats a bit confusing but I think it means i've passed, i'll wait until september so it is all official and I can get my work back.

Hmm, other stuff to talk about?? oh band stuff is starting to happen properly now, i've got something I want to do with photography and i'm really hoping something will happen involving filming some stuff so idea are being put down. Please check out the projects page for more info on this.

I'm still working at ...instore *slaps forehead*

Oh, sorry for that stupid .tk page before you get to the main site, there's nothing i can do about it until I decide to buy a domain name.

bye for now.

Sat 26th March 23:34 - Can't think of a title...

I don't know if they'll see this but hello to Alison, Annemarie and Julie, (the only people who will bother to come an look at my site probably) hope you like my site anyways. This week (my second week off) I have done......... nothing :-) photography wise anyway, had a band practise (see projects page) and been in work, which is a bit rubbish really.

Went to the cinema on Wednesday to see 'Napoleon Dynamite' which is utterly pointless and stupid but very funny so I recommend it. After the pics we went to the pub to watch 'Big Mouse' but a band (well, I don't know if they're a band really) called 'The Naughty Corner' were on first so we sat an listened to them for a bit. The problem was they were so dull (really annoying piano wankery and a not very exciting voice) that by the time Big Mouse came on we were too depressed to put any effort into listening, so we left after the song 'Big Mouse Strikes Again' and went on an exciting trip to Tesco and bought a tub of Tesco Value mango sorbet, which was full of the goodness we call sugar :-)

Anyway, work is boring, we're changing to "...instore" around my birthday, which'll be 'great' oh, my mum is going to pay for me to do my CBT and my brother is going to try an find a cheap motorbike for me, excellent.

Well i'm gonna stop now and update the projects page a little bit, will update again soon.

Mon 14th March 01:01 - Where's my head at...?

Well it's took me another few months for me to update but tonight I managed to add a load of my photographs, old and new. College has been crappy, I can't seem to do any of my own work even though i've got loads to do. I think it's because of all the stupid written stuff I have got to do, i've done virtually all of the photos, it's just I can't write about my work and do the research for it to get it all together. Oh well, i'll manage to do it before the end of the course.

I got Jo to model for me on my 'Music of the Mind' images which you can check out in the photo section. I think just the day after she modeled for me we split up, which is shit, makes the photos quite sad when I look at them. (That might be having an effect on me doing work aswell). Im going to try an add descriptions to the titles as soon as possible so they'll all make sense.

I'm going to try and add info to my projects and design pages, i've got 3 weeks off and i've just bought a little medium format camera that i can experiment with.

Think i've ran out of things to say for now because it's late, will try an update more often.

Wed 5th Jan 00:09 - Took my time...

Hmm, it took me from November till today to add info to my "about me" "links" and "contact" pages. I don't know whats up with me, or what i've been doing since then but it's took me too long. I've got loads of work to do for my photo course but i'm just a bit crap at the moment at getting myself together. Me and Scott are supposed to be doing some portraits for an idea he has, I was going to use this for my "Images to Music" project at college but we haven't had any time to do this yet so i'm getting Jo to model for me tomorrow (i need to get some ideas down).

I should be able to add some new photos as I did my "Faces of Liverpool" and "Towards 2008" and scanned them in at college. I don't think i'll be able to scan anymore because I was (almost, but not quite) accused of breaking the negative scanner and deleting some files off one of the Macs.

Oh well, more updates soon.
