lazy me

Hm..first post in the best part of a year!! Disgraceful. So post uni life is shaping up to be pretty damn wonderful! Very fortunately, the week following my university degree show I got a job on a local short film ( It's Cold Outside ), followed by thriller feature film ( The Holding ) then another short written by the lovely Deborah Haywood named 'Biatch'. Love it's name and such a great little story too. One day was particuarly enjoyable and I took this snap at a nice sunny moment just before wrapping.



Not quite sure how to summarise the past few months.. Think i'll just include some nice photos.

Seeing these 2 graduate was so amazing <3>

I am currently desperate to return to this hotel and indeed Austria in general. For 11 easters me, my family and a big group of friends, work colleagues, relatives have descended on this hotel ( for 6 consecutive years ) and others nearby and had the best times that at the moment i can't seem to shake from my head. Which is nice as I am eager to hang on to these very fond memories, but I am totally saddened that these holidays will literally never happen again. I took these family holidays for granted and though I had many tear tantrums, tired and cold and young, they were invaluable and lovely times. Austria is so wonderful and I have countless memories of everything I absorbed as a teenager and child. I loved the hotel rooms and their wooden ceilings and single pillows that were super thick, and how the hotels kind of scared me too. And the smell of suncream on my nose and my parents in their ski jackets and mums head bands. And my instructors and how much i thought they were the coolest people in the world because of their accents, tans and sunglasses! And skiing through a forest where i couldn't see another person so sang really loudly haha.

PENTAX ME SUPER

My grandpa passed away 11 years ago, and so i would have only been ten. Of course, old enough for ample memories of my grandpa. Amongst trips to the park in his maroon metro and birthday parties at my grandparents house, the underlying main memory is his use of his cameras. I wouldn't have taken much notice at the time of him taking photos of me, but i know he was a keen snapper. Fast forward 11 years and now i thoroughly enjoy taking photos, not that i am particualy skilled in this field i may add, but I feel to an extent that I am now passed on with the photo-geek-gene baton! Which i am very happy about. It never struck me until the last month to actually chase up what happened to his cameras. My uncle passed on my grandpa's camera bag and it is quite the gold mine. The bag includes an expired film from '94, unused. 2 flashes, another japanese camera, some books, cable releases etc. It's all very exciting. So I have put a film through it, and here is the result. Unfortunately grainy and underexposed in some cases, i think potentially a result of not having batteries in the camera which power the light sensor LED thingy. But I am still fond of these photos :)
