just been looking through my old college sketchbooks.
what a difference confidence makes.

this week i've been missing real important things in favour of sleeping and gin.
need to get back on track.

so everything is kinda rubbish right now..
but i just slept off 5 hangovers and lack of sleep from going out every night this week and now I'm ready for anything.
it's just a shame its half four..

still need to get my act together for uni tomorrow morning and find a way to photograph a tea cup :(
nervous.

i need to get a life and stop being so social.

thursday consisted of a cider and sambuca fuelled all-nighter with the most friendly and kind people i've ever met. i came home at 7:30am, slept, went to work and did it all over again.
most of my reading weeks have consisted of: work drink sleep work drink sleep.
i need to get a life and stop being a waste.

i bought two objects for my photography task on thursday though.
a bunch of fake roses and two straw animals.
really not sure what to do with them yet but i'll hink of something this week.
and i'm busy researching 'constructed narratives' in photography
lots of self doubt on how i'm gona portray this myself but the artist's photos are amazing.

anyway, i'd better get to bed..
i have to be up in 4 hours to go rummaging in boot sales for my other three objects for my project, some garish costumes and props for a Cindy Sherman-esque test shoot for my new brief and some little treats and trinkets for myself wouldn't hurt anyone.

awful

I have had an awful day I can't ignore. I can't deal with the real adult world and real decisions like house hunting. I wish I could stay in bed and wait til everything passes me by..

OH
I finally got my inter-semester work sent through.
I have to buy five items in a charity shop (pretty excited) and take them to locations around Bristol to photograph them. gona need to prove i am creative and brave and don't hide behind my research books like last time.

and i found out my next brief will be on CONSTRUCTED NARRATIVES.
it all sounds pretty vague to me, I really don't have any ideas.
I have to shoot loads and read up on loads before I go back to uni, so I'll post my inspiration here for future reference.

First thoughts:

maybe something like a Cindy Sherman study of female characters in films?
OR Luke Mitchell <iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/4401758?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0&amp;color=cccccc" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"></iframe><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/4401758%22%3EYoung Artist Series: Luke Mitchell: Moonshine Series</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/conspirators%22%3EWeTheConspirators%3C/a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com%22%3evimeo%3c/a%3E.%3C/p>
his use of personal experience and feeling and an open story for everyone to engage in inspires me.

OR something really film noir, murder mystery-y.


anyway, cup of green tea and then off to bed, gotta search through all the charity shops tomorrow morning to find five really quirky and cute things to put in locations :).
wish me luck xx
