Mo

canon eos 40d, sigma 24mm

today is the last day of november so i thought i would show off my attempted moustache that i have been sporting this past month or so. it is more impressive than last years, i can say that for sure.

my essay still isnt done. i only have about 400 words left to write though and that includes another image analysis and a conclusion so. yeah. that'l get done later.

right now i am heading out to complete my photo story (also in for tomorrow) and then to play a show at the star of kings with our good friends goodtime boys. i cant wait. matt pc of run, WALK! fame is playing bass for us as well. ive wanted to share a stage with him for a long long time, so that will be awesome.

Grime

today started well. i eventually woke up after a fair bit of poking and prodding and saw emily off on her way back to hatfield. i spent the rest of the day getting angry with codecs and wrestling with photoshop plug ins.

also my first ever graze box arrived; basically a load of tasty and most importantly free (for the first box) food in a neat little cardboard box. if you wanna get one for free and have some good old munch then enter this code at graze.com - ZDMM4RRD. you can cancel your subscription after the first box and they wont take any of your money. thats what im doing.

i am now fighting with an essay i have to do for thursday, its only 1500 words but it is prooving to be a pain. this photo is what my life has looked like for the past few hours.

Fair

a photoset usually means that i have actually gone and done something with my life. i did.

me, emily, emilys dad and his other half val went into london and had a look around the national portrait gallery, there was some good photography and some bad photography. i waited outside a toilet for about half an hour and then we went to hyde parks winter wonderland tacky christmas fair spectacular. it was the worst and best thing ever. horrible faux wooden huts housing food outlets, fair games and even cash machines, a big light up turny wheel and pretty much everything to do with christmas you could ever want ever and more. it was pretty good to take photos at as well, im going to go back there at some point.

im now really quite tired as i havent been sleeping well recently and walking around london all day makes the legs ache. me. tired. 9.30 pm. what

last night 171 went to see 171 dweller joe play some music at the camp in shoreditch. it was pretty good if not quite a late night. listen to his stuff here!

today i got woken up by another phone call asking where i was but from an emily rather than a toni. i am now in hatfield watching QI and avoiding writing a certain essay.

"i swallowed water right in front of her face, just to show that she had nothing to say" that line has been in my head all day. its a good one i think

i slept past my alarms and awoke to toni ringing me to tell me that she was in the library waiting for a lens that i promised to lend her. i got my self organised and went to fulfil this promise. on the way i saw a man get knocked from his bike by a bus, it was pretty shocking but he was okay. the bus didnt even stop or anything either, terrible people.

i got some books from the library full of joel meyerowitz's photographs. i am gradually falling in love with his work. it reminds me of my own but a million times better, this is both great and depressing. colour

we are going out tonight to a place called 'camp' in shoreditch, i reckon it'll be quite fun as there will be some good people knocking about. i think we might be home quite late.

someone buy me a 8x10 large format camera please. thanks
