026.365. Have you ever? 27.01.09.

So, so disappointed. Looking at yesterdays photo, this is so ugly, dull and boring. That's why photos like yesterdays are so bittersweet... I absolutely love them but am always extremely disappointed when other pictures don't match up to it.

025.365. Magazines. 26.01.09.

I think this is probably my favourite of all the photos I've taken. I loved how it came out of the camera and I love even more how it came out after post processing. If only I could take 365 photos exactly like this! Haha.

024.365. Just wait. 15.01.09.

I really like this one.

The past few days, taking a picture has been a real chore. I've really dreaded it which is why, I think, my last couple of pictures haven't been that great; because I didn't really want to be taking them.

But I was looking forward to getting out and taking one, today. I tend to stick to my backyard because it has such different, awesome textures for backgrounds. This is one of them. I think one of the main reasons I've been dreading taking pictures until today is, for some reason, I wanted to get pictures where I wasn't all bundled up and where I was just in a t shirt. But today, it had been snowing all morning and there was a breath takingly cold breeze; it was positively freezing. So I put my jacket, scarf and hat on and went out.

I was out there for a long time and, as the sun began to set, I began to see the pictures were getting better and the lighting was getting better. Usually, I take my pictures when the sun is at its brightest (between around 12 and 2pm) but I didn't get out until closer to 4 today. I much prefer the lighting from just as the sun is starting to set so I think I'm going to continue to take my pictures around then. Which will mean checking BBC weather every morning so I know exactly when the sun will set that day.

I'm so happy with this.

023.365. Ghosts. 24.01.09.

I really didn't have the time to take a shot today; I wanted to get a natural one of me curled up on the chair with my blanket but my batteries were dying. I would turn my camera on and it would go right back off again so I only had time to shoot one picture and hope for the best. Hopefully tomorrows will be better.

022.365. Argh. 23.01.09.

So it's now the 24th and I've been putting off blogging this because it's getting to be a bit of a chore but I know it'll be nice to look back on.

Anyways, today is the first day in the (almost) two weeks that I've reeeally wanted a cigarette. Had there been one in the house, I would've smoked it. First time! I hope it doesn't happen again. The day did, however, go super fast. One minute I was eating dinner at 6pm. The next time I looked at the clock, it was 11:30pm! Crazy.

I'm tired but The Hand That Rocks The Cradle is on TV. Oh, and my mum is at work. This is the first night I've been home alone in the new house and, I have to admit, I'm pretty scared haha.

If I don't leave this city soon, I never will.

Today, I'm really missing home and it shows.

019.365. Marla. 20.01.09.

I've decided I might as well do a Fight Club week. So yeah, I'm portraying how Marla Singer comes across to me and, ironically, it's the way I come across to myself. Having two completely different sides and no one is really sure what one they're going to be faced with yet always seem shocked when they realise which one it is.

018.365. Self. 18.01.09.

Yet another Fight Club related one. I can't seem to get it out of my head, haha. I like the top one but I'm not too fond of the bottom one. I was going for the "going insane and losing my mind" look but I don't think I quite hit it. Oh well. It was too cold to try again. About 2 minutes after these were taken, it started snowing really heavily.

017.365. Months. 18.01.09.

I told you I'm on a Fight Club fix. It also fits with me and how I'm feeling lately. The quote used in the description is perfect for me right now; insomnia down right sucks.

016.365. The First Rule. 17.01.09.

I got this one done super early (around 8am) but have only just got around to posting it because I'm super tired and literally kept falling asleep during editing, haha!

I have Fight Club in my head 24/7. I've watched it more than once a day, everyday for about a week. I can't begin to express how much I love it.

Today is an alright day, despite being so tired that I am falling asleep constantly. And it's extremely windy outside so the sky satelite dish keeps losing signal which is super annoying. I'm also really hungry but, because I've stopped smoking, I'm not sure if it's "fake" hunger in that I only want to eat because I can't smoke or "real" hunger. Either way, I'll wait till mum comes home for dinner just in case.

015.365. Arrested. 16.01.09.

I seem to be getting into the habit of taking the picture then not uploading it until hours after it. I should really stop doing that. Anyway, I'm not quite sure what gave me the idea for this one. Nor did I actually do anything today. I fell asleep for about 2 hours and had the most amazing dream that would make an even more awesome movie but I'll write about that on LiveJournal. I'm not even sure what day it is; they seem to be moulding into one. It's a sad state of affairs when the highlight of your day is taking your 365 photo, haha.

014.365. Perfection. 15.01.09.

I'm kind of sick of the strive to perfect myself and the daily pressures to lose weight, have prominent cheek bones, big boobs, thin thighs. Whatever. I am who I am.

It's so, so cold outside and I'm extremely tired. I was in bed at 4am then up at 7:30am for the doctors at 8:30am. Finally got my knee seen to and am going in for a scan whenever the hospital book me in. I'm likely going to need an operation. I was told that'd be today but... nope. Apparently not. Anyway, I had an idea for a photograph but I couldn't find the perfect "prop" and my mum would think I'm a weirdo, haha. So I braved the cold and got a pretty average but every-day-shot of me.
I love this new wig.
