I’m all up to date since the last update I think, here are the thumbs. Actually this is going to turn into a massive post now that I think about it, interspersed with thumbs of my 365.

I had this photograph featured in a piece on NowPublic.com about the government maybe enforcing some kind of smoking licence scheme. I know it’s not that big of a deal, but it’s really nice that they asked to use my photograph. Also VOTE PETE for student support officer. This be him, pictured here.

I saw Sweeney Todd. Whever it was, with the Mister. I thought the movie was good. Not my favourite Burton, but it kept me entertained. Here I tried drawing with white on black paper, which is much harder than it sounds. I will post the finished piece, when I finish it, I guess.

The Mister’s mum sent us pressies from Egypt. This is the little wood camel we got. Name suggestions in the comments please!

My best friend came to visit that Friday. Haven’t seen him since Christmas so it was a blast. The Mister cooked us up a good dinner and good times were had by all. These are some of the flowers he brought me.

I honestly adore how in England going to the beach in winter isn’t a bad idea. I spent the best part of my day down at the beach whichever day this was, just listening to music and sleeping on the pebbles. It was awesome. The weather was nice too. I love this photo.

My Valentines present was oil pastels which I asked for. Expect an art in the next few weeks This is also the card I made for the Mister, the idea for which I stole from Dinosaur Comics. Check that out. Hilarity with dinosaurs. It’s hand painted anyway. Check me out. Little miss artist.

Valentines day itself, the Mister cooked me a lovely meal, we had lots of wine, and watched Lost in Translation. I quite liked the film, it kind of reminded me of Eternal Sunshine in the way it was formulated and how it was two people making a connection.

Massive emo moment, haha! I’ll post when I have the rest of this set up, I have a few of them. They’re sort of a sequel to my Descent themed set and part of my Self Elected project.

Today’s picture is about something so exciting, it’s getting it’s own post.

I was playing with shutter speed with this. I happened to glance out of our kitchen window and spy the interesting clouds. It’s been quite a grey day here in Portsmouth, but I liked this sign that the longer days and warmer (well not much warmer) weather will return.

I’m not 100% happy with the composition but I didn’t realise until it was dark that this was the case :S I don’t like that that top left part of the clearing is cut off, but other than that I quite like it.

Also looking at it afterwards, I wasn’t sure if there was too much light in the bottom half of the picture – I think I need to experiment further with this.

All in all, a learning type day

I had to take my car home today which meant coming back on the train – something I’m very familiar with as I commuted Guildford to Portsmouth for two years. A boring photo for a boring ride for a reason which took up much of my day.
