Good Afternoon my friends.

Today the sun is shining and warming this little town to 13 degrees! this aint jacket weather!

I am busy busy busy with uni. Not too long to go, 34 days till i leave Halifax which i have grown to love. As a type away i am sitting amongst mounds of paper cut outs, books, scissors, glue, cameras, electronics and photographs are spread accross the floor. Only a couple more weeks of uni, i am very excited about our exhibition in april. I will definately send photos!

I guess not too much to report. Send me emails! i want to know how you are!

update.

hi!

so what have i been up to in the last week to ask? well! it just so happens that i have all the answers! here we go...

So i have been working hard shooting a series as the moment, i have been shooting 'undie portraits'. The model writes the name of their crush on some undies (33cents at the dollar store!) and i shoot from belly button to mid-thigh. i am trying out some Kodak E200 35mm. I am using my Nikon with flash and sx-70 polaroid. These images will be used in the exhibition that my printed matter class will have on the 12th of april, you all better be there! They will be in the form of a book while i'll have one large format print (from this series) on the wall, which is a photograph of an old lady hanging out her baggy silk undies on a pully clothes line. As for the rest of the show, well, you'll just have to come on opening night ;)

Last friday i did some volunteer work at Eye Level Gallery. They held an event called 'Dear Diary' where they asked people to read out old diary entries. It was quite funny, some people were very animated.

I am building a dark activated circuit in electronics, with the idea that when you cover something up (that has the photoresistor on it) the circuit will open, allowing it to switch on a projector i found. I am also working with these counters, little black boxes with white lettering inside.

The time has gone so quickly! i only have five weeks left of classes, it is usually this time that goes the fastest with so much work to finnish! I am really looking forward to moving to Holland, and i think Wouter is excited to see me aswell :)

talk to you later.
