The first session features some of the photos I shot with my friend Veronica in the little beach suburb Cottlesloe. I had to feature at least three different garments but I choose also to have at least three different locations for that shoot. Joshua was with us to assist me with the flash.
The second series of photos features the WAAPA-dancer Alissa (Wester Australian Academy of Performing Arts)
. On this shoot I worked together with a fashion design student; Anita Gadenne who had made these really cool dresses. So the assignment was to showcase her dresses in a way that suited her and my taste.
Alissa was the perfect model for this shoot coz i really wanted to show the dresses in a "flowing" kind of way. I first had thought to use a ordinary model from the agency and to shoot it at the Art Gallery. But when that model didn't show up because of some miscommunication with the agency we had to cancel that shoot, which was really sad because the Art Gallery would also have been a perfect location to show off Anita's dresses. But it worked out anyway, I'm pretty pleased with the result anyway and I think Anita was pretty satisfied also.
This third batch of pictures is from my Images & Narratives assignment where we had to tell a story with text and pictures. Or at least with pictures. First I an idea that was about this character going to the European Space Agency's radio telescope (Space :P) close to New Norcia and his dream of coming as close to space as he could right now.
But I ended up doing another idea I got and did like a mystery novel containing pictures and journal entry's in this character Henry Bukowskis journal. Above is just a few pictures from the 23 double page spread story. I tried to make it as "multimedia" as possible by using photos, drawings, notes, maps, real letters sticky taped on the pages itself and other things. I also wanted to make a homepage for it which would've the reader be a part of the story even more but unfortunately I didn't have time for that.
Right now I'm forcing myself to drink this weird lemonish tea I got from my nice house mate Emma. I'm having a nasty cold and I'm on day three now which really annoys me. It disturbed my "going-on-a-walk-each-day-schedule" and some other stuff I really had to do.
OH by THE way. I'm moving out on December third! Me and some other people living in the village got a nice little letter a few weeks ago saying that we couldn't live in the student village anymore because we had lived there to long now and had had the village "experience". But on the same day as we got the notice Gordon found a really nice apartment that his friend was gonna leave behind. Sooo, me and Paige who also got kicked out, got to move into that apartment because Gordon could live here in the village next semester coz he's a newbie compared to me and Paige who have stayed here since mid 2007. But anyway, It feels great to finally have an own place to live in. We have a balcony also and it's really close to the liquor store and a supermarket :D.

Read about the real story
here. It's really interesting and a bit sad.
PS: Oh yeah, my website was up for a few days, or maybe just one as you may have noticed. The owner Uber.com went bankrupt or something some days after I joined them. WHAT ARE THE ODDS?!
A letter I wrote for to Caroline a month ago. Scanned the letter and put it on a nice old texture I found somewhere (?), made it more dirty and old looking, added pictures I've made inspired by her. Scanned flowers from outside my apartment and put some song lyrics in it also and finally made it into a little booklet. The white and blue pictures on the package is just paper I cut from a design magazine as wrapping paper. The package contained a a Wire in the blood t-shirt and a really cheesy fanpic of one of the actors from the show lol :D In the pic I've included some of the pages from the booklet.
