Some Advice Please?

Hey guys,

It's been a while huh? Sorry about that I've been a bit slacked of late. 

Just thought I would inform you guys of something possibly amazing that has come to me this week. 

So I just received an email (which would have go to everyone on my course) from uni offering a once in a life time opportunity.

It was for a photography competition where the prize is a chance to go to the slums of Armenia, Chad or Sri Lanka and document women living in poverty. You also get mentoring as well as working along a magnum photographer (learning from the very best) and £1,000 with all expenses paid for. The photographs will used for Oxfams spring 2014 campaign, which would be a huge Privilege and an amazing way to get your work out there and get recognised. 

Thing is I'm battling with myself as to whether or not I'm worthy of applying and if they would just be wasting their time on me if I got selected. I love documentary photography and it's what I would love to do once my degree is over.

Sadly my parents aren't too keen on the idea of me going to a third world country for work (they aren't massive supporters of what I want to do, they just think photography is about taking pretty pictures, but it's more then that, so much more!)

So do I go for it and if I don't get it then I can say at least I tried or do I not bother and forget about it with the possibility of 10-15years down the line wondering what if? 

Some advice please my lovely readers

Much love x

OH-MY-GOD!

Hey,
         I seriously cannot believe it's been over 6 months since I last posted on here, sad times.
My first year at uni is almost finished just got to do a few more shoots on location for my current assignment, which is space and place (it's a bit like landscape) and then I am all finished for the summer holidays until October. YAAAY!

I've already done 2 on location shoots and have come up with a rough idea of the type of work I want to produce at the end, when I have to hand all my work in. Sadly I had to get an extension on my 2 current assignments as I was off ill for 2 weeks and so wasn't able to do a lot. I'm still waiting to hear on the outcome of said extension, but the university seem to be dragging it out a bit which could mean that by the time they do decide all my work could well and truly be finished. Haha.

Anyways I'm currently at the parents, as I'm going to London tomorrow to visit family,  and couldn't sleep so thought I would come on here and type a cheeky/sneaky little post and see how you guys are doing. I apologise it's taken me so long, so to make up for it I'll include a few YouTube videos of some songs that I just can't seem to stop listening too at the moment. Most of you may have already heard of these but some of you may not have.

And on that note I shall bid you all farewell for now. I promise you next time I won't take so long to get my arse into gear before writing anything. And lets be honest I have 3 months coming up of doing absolutely nothing (unless I can get a job) so I really won't have much of an excuse.


Hope things are going well for you guys. Don't forget to leave a comment sometime, I'd love to talk to some or my lovely readers especially the ones that have followed me since day 1, which is scary to think was a year and a half ago D: (Life is going so fast, I don't want it too)

Bye Guys!

Colours

Hi guys,

            Long time since I've been on here. I've been so busy with uni and just simply. However, today I got to go to a Holi Festival. For those of you who don't know its an Indian Festival of colour. It's basically a huge bunch of people throwing paint powder around for a couple of ours. I had an amazing time throwing paint at each other.

 Sadly though there wasn't as many people there as I would have hoped and with it being in a huge park, which meant people were spread all over the place.

I'm hoping that next year, there will be more people so i'll be able to get better photo's.

Sorry this post is short. I'll post a new one as soon as my latest assignment is over.

Love you guys 

P.s I wrote this in April and for some reason never posted it :/
