8 - I'm going to live in Hamburg for 10 weeks at the end of this year, as the second part of an exchange.
9 - I've been single for almost a year.
10 - I favourite too many things on flickr.

12 - I'm really claustrophobic.
13 - I love traveling, a lot.
14 - I think that happiness is the most important thing a person can have.
15 - I'm very introverted and very quiet when I first meet people.

17 - I probably AM wierd.
18 - I can't wait to move in with my best friend.
19 - My hair is naturally blonde and curly.

In the end -

it's not going to matter how many breaths you took, it's going to matter
how many moments took your breath away.

Do you ever

want to throw out everything you own and just start again?
Because i do. All the time.

Watch this, until the end

Personally I think it's reeally beautiful -

Me trying to explain why i prefer film photography -

I never used to. I used to be really into macro and bokeh photos, and really want a DSLR camera.
A few years on and now I love film. What I'd like to be able to do with my photography is capture the atmosphere of a candid moment - that's my goal. I think that's easier to do with film, somehow.


Okay, my thoughts are jumbled, I'll just make this into a list form here on in.
Reasons why film is better than digital:
- You get more quirks and imperfections on film, that can only be imposed onto digital photos - they aren't natural on digital photos
- I just think films more ... for lack of a better word, atmospheric
- Nothing beats the anticipation of waiting for film to be developed
- Film cameras are cheaper than a DLSR. It'd be nice to own a DSLR, but I'm sixteen and unemployed. So.
- It just seems more real
- If something goes wrong with your computer or whatever - all your photos are gone forever. Whereas I have a complete draw of film I've had developed.
- When you carry around a film camera, you're more careful of what you take shots of. Which, for me at least, seems to improve my photography
- There's probably more things, but I want dinner now

ps - I actually researched this blog! - and loved reading http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/filmdig.htm :) - you might not if you aren't really into photography haha

I don't remember favouriting this on flickr - but apparentally I did.

There is this girl on my train

who I see every day after school. She always seems sad but today she's
smiling and it's beautiful.

Excerpt from my myspace blog.

And I quote, "the value of education is priceless. You should always be
doing something to stimulate your mind, whether it be reading, writing,
or just surrounding yourself with intelligent people and knowing what's
going on around you"
It never really stops, does it.

Writing this from my phone?

not sure how it's gonna look, but if it works, you can probably expect a
lot more blogs from me on public transport haha

Tim burton alice in wonderland?

Looks alright, i suppose. But can it seriously be better than this?

I don't think so, the original is fucking sweet!

Stumbled across this while writing a history assignment.
