Feeling the hippy-type love today. I drew these freehand and scanned them in and played around with the saturation and contrast. I love the thought of these three apples, I feel the foundations of human kind should really be based upon these key ideas. Alas, it is in human nature for us not to be peaceful - survival of the fittest and all - and maybe love and hate come hand in hand, but surely we all deserve to be free. Society is a very stifling organism to those who feel the need to express themselves in extraordinary ways. I'm not saying that we should be allowed to go blow up a building, shoot someone in the head or rob a bank; all I'm saying is that if I want to put an Adele song as my facebook status and say that I'm a little down, not to get a billion hipsters on my ass telling me what a conformist I am. I'm sorry but they can fuck off. Rant over. Peace out ;)
So lately I've been getting the feeling that I need to get away. Not sure why, but it's there. I'll be off to CERN for 4 days in a couple of weeks, so I'm really looking forward to that! I love the feeling of just getting out of the country and away from everyone for a little while. Also, have you noticed how these have become less and less about the photo and more about my sorry ass? Ah well, I enjoy it just a little bit more than talking about light shadow and composition ;) Although, speaking of, isn't this photo beautiful? I love the light/shadow and the weird angle and composition of this photo. AND the blue sky... Only in Madrid!
"'Cause baby you're a fiiiiiiirework, come on show 'em what you're woooooooorth, make 'em go oh oh oh as you shoot across the sky-y-y!!!"
Yep, you guessed right! That is me singing Katy Perry in the shower! Well, not really... I sound much better than her ;) Anyway, this is actually a close-up of a dandelion seed head; you know, the ones you blow into the wind and make a wish on when you're a kid - I still do it, but whatevs trevs. I just love that in black and white these seed heads actually look so much like sparklers! (Ah! You now see the connection with Firework!) Nature is beautiful. Too beautiful for any more words from me, so I'll see you all tomorrow!
It is here!! Woop woop snow! Yeeeeah bitches!! So it started snowing yesterday around 6pm and stopped some time en la madrugada (that's early hours of the morning for those of you not knowing any Spanish) and I'd say there is about four-ish inches of snow! Anyway... back to the photo, it's a little squirrel I had chance to photograph last year when it came traipsing through my garden. Enjoy his little squirrelly cute face!
So it's probably going to snow... That's what they're saying anyway! It has gotten pretty dark in the last 10 minutes and apparently it's already snowing in Reading... I guess I'll have to wait and see! Obviously this photo was taken... hmmm, a couple of years ago? Yeah winter 2010. Good times :)
Ever get that feeling like you're falling and know you can't do anything to stop it? Well, it's called a kick. You're probably dreaming, and if you feel like you're falling right now you're in a dream. Bam. You just got Inceptioned.
To my dearest darling Katie, who can always make me laugh and will forever be my Spanish twin! This photo was taken in el parque de Retiro in Madrid and the building is called El Palacio de Cristal. I think it's an exhibition space, but either way I love the sunlight and the structure of the building! Tis just beautiful (like Katie)!
Finally! January has finished and spring is nearly here! Or so the majority of us hope. What has actually happened is that we've had one of the coldest weeks of the winter so far and next week it will be getting colder. Fun times. Ah well, here's a little apple blossom to cheer you up! Today I dedicate my post to my most caring and kind friend, Kinda. She be awesome and you all need to know this!
