Preparing.

Next Wednesday is my first personal photoshoot for this year towards my mid year folio.
and i have 2 really great ideas. ( and im sorry aunty Shannon for not contacting you to come in and see me through this photoshoot, but i think i need to get this one right so i can get more confident in the studio. dont take offence! )
 My first Idea.
subject: Sarah (best friend)
Idea: High Key Nude shot.
Point: I wanted it high key because Sarah has VERY red hair and lovely blue eyes with enormous eye lashes. thats all i want the audience to see.
Sarah is also quite self concious but wants to do the nude shoot so high key will take out all the jibby jabbies shes worried about and will only focus on her face.
I also want high key is that i want the audience to imagine her body, it wont be easy to see so they must use their imagination to see it.


ok so picture this. Lady Godiva cross a marilyn manson poster. its hard to picture so i have the photos for you to imgine.
the marilyn manson photo isnt so high key but imagine that it is.

second idea

Subject: Michelle & Susi (work)
Idea: Puppet & puppeteer
Point: i wanted a dark tim burton-ish version of a puppeteer stearing his/her puppet, controling her.
OR a bright, bubbly, fun version where theyre both having fun being silly as most puppet shows are.
ive researched some pictures through google of what has inspired me to do both versions.




1950's

Our first ever photoshoot as a class was themed as 1950's
you know,
film noir.
femme fatale.
 highwasted shorts.
 curles.
fur.
heightened hair.
red lipstick.
when you research it, it's fashion has pretty much done a loop and has become the fashion thats on todays markets.
we mucked around with different lighting which was fun but also stressful.
I felt quite hopeless at one point where the teacher had asked what i wanted to do with lighting and i went blank.i didn't know what i wanted. That was worrying!! but in the end i got some nice shots out of it and i really hope everyone enjoyed themselves.

Gee.

 Matt, Callie

So here they are.

You.

There you are. Now what?
I didn't want to find you, but somehow i always do.
There's your name, It's sitting there.
Warmth fills my heart, though i am still unsure of you.
Did you want to be found? Especially founded by me?
I'm curious if your attitude is like this with every relationship that you have in this world where you result these best of friendships to become non existant in the end.
I wonder if I connect this once more you might accept it for what this beautiful friendship should be, or be the coward you are and reframe yourself from the world again.
I believed this worked many times for us.
I portrayed the best I could be as a caring affectionate friend. Dont you remember?

One click.
It could make things better, It could make things worse.
Should this encouraging thought be lingering in my mind to befriend you, once again.
Being pushed away several times because of your 'state' should be the end of my foolish thoughts.
Should I just take this hint and give up?
 I'm tired of being tired of trying for you.
I want to give up but something has a hold of me.
You.

12 February, 2011

"Where is my sister at a time like this?" i kept asking myself today.
She of all people should be helping her best friend out today to move into a new house.
11 months he has lived with us and my selfish sister does not help him pack, nor move, or even go help him unpack at his new house.
That is NOT how a best friend behaves at this kind of situation. Even if plans were already made that day.
Your best friend is worth the time cancelling plans to helpmove.
I cancelled plans to become an extra on a TV show today with one of my favourite comedians, but i knew Matthew needed my help.So I selflessley helped out moving things for him and to look after his little sister.

It doesn't matter how bad he is with decisions, even if it's about moving house. It shouldn't matter at the time if you're angry about his situation. As a best friend your role is to help and support decisions your best friend takes on in life. It seems my sisters brain does not work  that way. I assume her brain is programmed to constantley and perminantly put herself first before others and that's what is upsetting me and also Matt.
Matt had a dissapointed look on his face all day, hoping his best friend would change her mind and want to focus on somone else and their life for today. Just for one day.

Witnessing my sisters actions today has made me less some what less of her.
It got me thinking of if this situation ever happened to me, what would she do?
Would she actually help? will she ditch me if some other better plans comes along?
I feel she may even be unrealiable because her world seems to matter more than our worlds combined. Apart from Andys world, but thats another story.
As he left for the last time, his voice was breaking with emotion standing at the door hoping this wouldnt be it, but it had to be.
Andy breifly says bye.
my sister walkes down the halway hearing our goodbyes and goes straight to her room.
I had to call out for her to stop and come and say goodbye which shouldnt be even asked to do.
5 long seconds went passed as she stood at her door then slowly came out and said "bye"
I have never seen Matt look so broken after trying to fix thigns with her before he left. Denying the feelings as she does, she stands there infront of him silent. Not budging.
He walks away. friendship like this is too valuable to just stand there in silence waiting.
This is too much like Will and Grace shit. It's ridiculous!

All in all, my sister is a selfish person and letting a move like this ruin her friendship with Matt. Not talking because In my opinion shes not talking because she doesn't want to face Matt moving. Also i feel she's upset because she feels Matt may have chosen Jackie ( Matt's "other" best friend) over Amie in the move when it's not that at all!
Honestly, It's a childish act for my sister.
I hope that one day she can swallow her pride, kick back her selfish-ness and act like a mature adult about this because she needs to face facts. Matt is NOT hers, NOR Jackies. He belongs to himself so Amie should not get jealous because he is not an object nor a dog.
Her behaviour towards Matt is poor and immature and its stupid!
Matt deserves more respect and support from his best friend because if this situation was reversed she would not stand for this.

Matthew.

Dearest Matthew,

Thank you.
Thank you for being a wonderful housemate, big brother and friend.
I have cherished the 11 months you have lived with us, even if you havn't been here that much recently.
Thanks for making the weirdest combinations of rices or stirfrys in the world.,they tasted delicious.. i think!
Thank you for helping me out through hard times with friends and family and even getting my hours up when you didnt have to.
Thank you for putting up with me and my mess and Mojo and his..mess haha.
I feel so thankful you helped me and my sister out by moving in with us in march last year, i have never been so excited to escape the old world into this crazy new world that was about to begin.
Thanks for being a friend.
Thanks for being the BEST housemate.
will see you soon :) xoxoxoxo
