well that's it, one whole month of andinmyhandsacamera posts.
i would be lying if i said it has been easy.
we've seen illness, ironing, panoramas, pancakes, valentines day, cycling and joe poole feeding johnny cake.
last night i watched someone jump through a wooden table and tonight im wrestling the beast that is my portfolio.
its been emotional.

in the middle of preparing my portfolio for uni interviews, its scary and annoying and makes everything seem real.

my bands stuff in the hall before we head off to practice this evening.
i've been playing COD all day and it's gotten to the point where a constant red dot sight and cross-hairs intrude my vision wherever i look in real life.
not good.

another panorama, but this time in town.
i love the way it distorts everything so much.
im going to try and do some more soon of interesting stuff where there's like loads and loads of frames and cool stuff happening so its more detailed.
they are so satisfying to create though, again its better if you click on it to see it big.

the laundrette in bridport just because i promised i would.
i do quite like it though, i took loads of others but i liked this one the best.
its pretty calming in there with all the washing machines going and it being nice and light and empty at night.

the final edit of the panorama of joes room that i was supposed to do a while back but couldn't get right.
i had a play with it in photoshop today and managed to get it looking much better, so i'm happy.
although i did'nt technically 'take' this photo today, i did 'make' it.
so it counts.
i think i'm going to make more panoramas next week now that i've mastered it.
it's really cool if you click on it to make it big, more detail.

chris in my room post work, pre public house.

now comes the portfolio and nerves.

today i met this guy called mike wade.
he showed me and this other lady his studio in bridport, here he makes waxworks of celebrities and other people and they are absolutely amazing, he's been commissioned to make 4 Obamas since the start of the year for different places across the world.
you can see his work in madame tussauds and loads of other places.
this photo was part of my project for falmouth uni, its pretty mental that this whole crazy operation runs in a little subtle studio in bridport.

charlie covered in flour after making cheesey straw things today.
its not as sharp as i'd have liked it to be in places, but it was taken quickly and i didn't have much time to focus it properly.
need to do more on the project for falmouth this week.

no post yesterday because the tired and achy developed into something more sinister, meaning that i looked like this for most of the day.

this is a fail.
i tried to do a 360 mega panorama of joes room, but i couldnt work out how to get it looking good in photoshop and it's half 11 and i need to upload a photo today.
this will have to do, one photo from the potential panorama, i'll do it properly another time.
i like the wall with all the stuff on it and the door.

the new bar/eaty place thats occupied the space the imran restaurant left when it closed down.
this is going to be another photo for the series i have to send to falmouth uni, about the recession.
people are still opening shops and starting new businesses in bridport, i think how much you feel 'the pinch' all depends on location.

joe feeding johnny cake in costa today.
i love how film-like the 50mm makes everything look, i'm going to start using it more often i think, i want an autofocus one though because manual focusing all the time is hard work when it comes to getting quick shots like this.

this is what's left of the old woolworths in town that is now being turned into a spar, equally as useful i suppose.
i liked the builders lights behind the dirty windows and how run down it all looks.

this is the mirror in my front room, i've taken photos of it before but i've never really been happy with them.
i am relatively happy with this one, its funny how really defined borders make things look like windows.

i have been getting complaints because i've not been updating this blog enough recently, so in honour of this i am going to take and upload a photo everyday this february and this is the first.
this was taken today in london and it's phil and rhia walking towards waterloo station, i like the sunlight and the way the film makes the colours cool and real looking.
