I still don't have any pictures to post.
This is partly because I have been a combination of total lazy arse and crazy busy for the last few days.
But mainly because my funds are rapidly depleting and, since I am insisting on being 'authentic' and using film cameras, this means no picture developments as of yet. I'm planning to go get the first roll from my Diana developed tomorrow and pray there'll be at least one useable shot amongst the mess.
I am sick of people phoning up wanting to book the centre being so damn indecisive!
I'm going through what I like to call a 'creative tsunami' at the moment. The literal opposite of a 'creative drought'. In case you hadn't already figured that out for yourself. There's no problem of lack of ideas here. Only problem is my perfectionist nature and the fact that, in my head, everything looks so professional and polished. The fact that I'm using a film camera may be my (and my poor models') saving grace. If I was using a digital I'd be there for hours trying to get every little detail right, constantly picking out imaginary flaws. But as I won't know how they've come out til they're developed I'll just have to deal with it. That wonderful nugget of added excitement and mystery.
New Florence & the Machine track on the radio. Mix 96 you have redeemed yourself!
I need to buy some film. I know I can't really afford it but I need something to fill the empty voids that lurk between sleeps these days. My weekend will be no doubt spend wandering around looking for dead animals to photograph and desperately scribbling in my tatty old school notebook.
Once again an incredibly banal blog entry. Hopefully I'll have pictures to share soon so this meaningless drivel can cease.
