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.

So I have two new years resolutions, one which will probably fail because I’d forgotten Mars eggs existed is the no buying chocolate resolution – see here. The second is Project 365 (I guess 366 this year).

The objective is to take one photograph a day to help you grow as a photographer, learn what’s important to you and to keep a visual memory of your year.

I only discovered this today so I’m a day late, but it’s a leap year so I’ll still have 365 pictures.

I also plan to blog about each picture, so here’s the first one, and it’s not pretty Came home to my student house today, I’d left some wine glasses in the mister’s room because they were mine and didn’t want them breaking, turns out after a week they grow mold!

Gross but interesting. I also like what the flash did with the glass! I used my phone camera for this cause I had it handy

And yes that is our kitchen sideboard, but we’ve not been here so it’s not our mess

As an aside I had a wonderful, romantic new years and feel I started this year really really well. Happy new year everyone!
