All made up, and nowhere to go.

It suddenly occurred to me, I haven't even put up any pictures of me on here. Well not of my face! I really need to get a tripod and find somewhere good to take pictures. My flat sucks for blank walls or natural light. Today I did my standard make up ready to go out to town but the weather looked so nasty I just couldn't bring myself to leave. Even thouse the handbag I saw in Accesorize yesterday has probably sold out. I will go see tomorrow and if it's there, it was meant to be and I'll buy it and blog a picture.

So this is my everyday make up. Quick enough to do for work everyday, usually without the blusher though as my old manager always commented on me looking flushed. Um yes? It's supposed to be a nice natural flush of colour?




Rimmel Fix & Perfect Prop Primer
Max Factor Xperience foundation

Please excuse the frizzy hair :/

I want to frame you, put you on my wall

I bought my self a bridge camera as photography has always interested me and I really don't have a hobby, a side from spending money! My two friends Tom are both into photography too and have been on Euro trips to take photos and often go out and about in the Chilterns / skate parks to get shots. I started bugging them about taking me as soon as I got the camera and we've been a few times. They have been really ace with me, giving me hints and tips but mainly letting me get on with it and ask for help. I think I'll need to go places and find shots rather than just going out and hoping to see something good. I also cant wait to go to some of my boyfriend's gigs so I can practice photographing live music. I love live action photography, especially at amazing gigs where you can capture such a range of emotion and movement.

Here is a selection of photos I have taken and liked. I am by no means any good but it's fun getting up early on the weekend and going walking with friends and having a laugh.

Any hints, tips, locations or blogs you'd like to share will always be greatly appreciated.
