40. Easter eggs, Russell Brand and Blackberry Set Up

Went shopping with Dad yesterday for a new phone for him, he bought a Blackberry! Rediculous! So ive spent the last two days helping him set that up and teaching him how to use it. Hayley didn't go out so we have spent another day of divulging in easter eggs, playing on the wii and watching stand up comedies.. awesome times. However finding out i have Bronchitus has not been too fun and i feel ill quite alot of the day :( I miss hanging out with friends without a care except the fact is.. they all have jobs! or im not really close enough with them just to "hang out" See in a way.. it's why i miss being back at uni, because if i was bored i can jsut give a mate a call... and go and chill with them.. here.. everyones at work or doing revision.. or i dont feel close enough to thos epeople who arent doing anything. I know i can see hayley.. but i sort of want to hang out with a group of people in a field in the sun... it'll never happen. BLERGH anyways, whilst shopping yesterday found some NIGER SEED it made my childish mind laugh. On top of this the other photo resembles my entire evening Stand up comedy and a massive chocolate egg.. WHOOP. Now.. i will try to sleep.. although my stomach ache is KILLING me. :'(

39 Polaroids!

38. First Day

First Day of Real Holliday time, Went To Uxbridge with James, and Looked for a few mess around cameras to fuck about with over easter since my digital has gone :( I need to order that charger tommorow and sort out Student finance. Bought nothing in uxbridge but my local charity shop had litterally like 50 cameras! so i got a basic point and shoot - Canon Sure Shot AF-7, a kodak Instamatic 25 (SO OLD SKOOL) - Yashica DX 38mm fixed lense (yummy little camera) AND a Polaroid camera WITH film still in... way poutdated and got some funky yellow exposures from it but.. off to buy some REAL polaroid film tommorow!
After the day of shopping had finished James came back to mine and we watched various videos online Religulous documentary being one of them, Triggered from our debate about Christianity in the halifax Bank (which happened to upset an old dear also in the queue) Today was fun, was nice to get out and chill in the SUNSHINE finally... hopefully more of these days to come.

37.Easter

Today didn't consist of much, helped Mum type up her Cv's, wallowed in self pity, took some photos, went to Nan's to do the usual giving and receiving of chocolate eggs, came back.. I cooked for everyone (again) and then spent the evening gazing at cameras i want... but i found one i NEED... The Horizon Kompakt... its... awesome and looks like so much fun. Wish list item *1










Someone Buy me this please. x

36. Easter SO far..

I managed to take a small amount of photos on what was left of my battery of my SLR.. so ive been shooting Film all holidays so far except these few photos.

35. SO... I decided to take a month out

Yeah so the whole keeping up with Blogging has been a bit of an issue i've gone off of, Mainly because the past month has been extremely depressingly boiring and shite. Here's Some photo's... from the past few months

34. Today i learned..

I dont keep up with posts.. because im too busy watching movies. Had a great couple of sunny days it's been awesome, i have a video to upload.. so shall do that when im not in bed and tired.
I've decided that i really have learnt to appreciate what i have got over the past few days, my friends, my relationship and my possessions. Loving life right now.
Yesterday was a day of morning lecture and spending the whole day in the sun playing football drinking a few beers and playing rounders.. with alot of people i havent really "clicked" with from halls. Was actually a really awesome day.
Realised im gonna have to get doing work soon, me and claire have devised a 2 day a week where we're gonna make sure we both do work for a couple of hours a night.. bulk up our workbooks or work on our written work.. we're not doing enough basically. Last minute is no fun for anyone right?
Watched the dark knight last night till 4am probably one of the best films this century im glad i took the time to watch it.. is it bad i find the kJoker incredibly inspiring?
Today i went to uni for a couple of hours to get our new project and then went to work 5-9... i must admit i was a bit cranky.
managed to get skype working so i could chat with hay, but she disconnected at 00.00 because her netz is shit, talked on the phone for a bit but it just upset me. I hate being so far apart when im so close to her...
Love her to bits.
Night x

33. Feeling like im a day behind at a time.

Qotd; Nicole: My Leg Is Not a Religion, It's Just a Leg!

What a severly chilled friday, woke up at 1 had something to eat, found out i got some hours down for work, money coming in, i am happy. :) Spent the day relaxing, chilled in the evening after my big shop at sainsburys bought two crates of stella that were on offer, stocked up the fridge as you can see had a couple and played some halo 3.. then BED. Relaxed evening before knowing what lay ahead for nadias tommorow/today.. shall prbably have avideo to post up tommorow :P we shall see

32. i dont have words

31. I've been a busy bee

Made some edits in ID or In Design today, first time using the software, it was amazingly difficult to use. I love the versatility of the programme this is just a quick preview/edit to a final article im gonna produce for the LAW and their gig the other day. Cant wait till its done, should be epic. Casino Rooms tonight so i think this may be the only post of the day, video's etc shall probably be uploading tommorow.

30. Memory Loss and House viewings

Today consisted of me and josh trying to piece together what the hell just happened last night? So far we have concluded that, we DID drink Kopperberg at one point, We had a scuffle and Josh hurt my leg, i fell in a bin and told everyone i facy them. I'm a loving Drunk.. and Josh is a violent drunk. Nicole woke up to find some HENCH bruise on her arse from the super mega whipping of wet tea towel that Josh gave her.. badtimes. This and the fact i woke up this morning hugging a pair of trousers, fully clothed (including my shoes) must mean the night before.. was a good night out.

Secondly Claire failed to mention about the housing situation so we spent a good 50 minutes of our day travelling to and from an empty house in Rochester which is already LET out :/ Fail Claire, FAIL. All in all besides the mishap with the housing it was a nice chillaxed day. Time for a movie whilst i fall asleep me thinks

29. 30 minute Fashion Shoot and Source bar

To be fair today was pretty damn awesome, i spent £30 on a sick night, source bar was amazing. So basically, had a weird day at uni, studio was double booked so i couldn't get in there, luckily kind fello Stephen let me use his studio for an hour to set up and shoot got it all done in about 30-40 mins, was an epic rush but the photos came out okay i guess. Then the evening was spent drinking large quantities of alcohol resulting Me and Josh getting well and truly SMASHED. I dont Remember much lol.

28. Monday

Was supposed to go uni. I didn't. I was ill. Missed the lectures, Woke up at 1pm feeling kind of shit, looked at some houses Nicole and Claire booked some viewings. Stayed up till rediculous o'clock watching monty python and drinking a couple of cans of fosters with Joshuarr playing Halo and Tetris. Chilled out Montag!

27. Catch up and Drive

My mum is a legend, i woke up at 1pm to find her knocking at my door with a tasty invite downstairs for some AWESOME Bacon & Egg rolls.. BEST.HANGOVER.CURE.EVER. The general day consisted of me editing photos from the previous day and fending off notification overload from Lawson and Harries' Rediculous tagging sprees and waiting for Papa to finish work so we could head back to Rochester :)

26. Freezing photo shoots and messy evenings.

Today woke up with NO hangover, quite proud of myself considering how rediculously messy last evening was.. up at 10 and then off to court park for two when everyone eventually gathered round mine ans we headed to freezing cold Court park where I and the law spent 2hours taking photos in a tree... after this we went to ians to take a few mess around shots on his sofa which didnt turn out too bad. Then they headed off to elise' party and i went back to get ready for the epic drunken night at the hay that lay ahead and fuck me... it was a heavy night with Sean, Joe, James, Henry and Jamie... we got our drinks on. Next day.. i woke up with memories of Sean falling down a step and nearly breaking his arm and spending a good couple of hours catching up with James.

25. Messy, Hillarious & Fun Weekend (part 1, THE Gig)

Haven't posted since Uni on thursday because since ive been back at the birdge its just been go go go. So i will do it in order of how i should've done.
So today was a really longgg day like supremely long because it basically just consisted of getting the Brocolor light set from uni and waiting for my parents to arrive and pick me up. Shot at the gig, ive never experienced anything like it, really high energy from Brannigans law and Far Fallen. IT was crazy cool. Challenging to get good shots, but i think they came out okay. I'm happy with them. That's all there is to say really.. wish i had shot more without flash but do like the vignette effect around the edges of the image.

24. Interior lighting and Financial fun

Song of the day; Jay-z Roc Boys: The Roc Boys in the building tonight, Oh what a feeling, I'm feeling life

Im seriously beginning to think that living in these halls is giving me the characteristics of being able to handle some really awkward situations, like when two people have a tiff infront of a whole room of people so its all public and shiz.. and everyone is quiet because nobody knows what to say.. its happened all too much.. but it happening so much is making more immune to awkward situations, whether i make it more awkward for others or not i dont care.
Today on the other hand was one of those days where you spend an entire day achieving something really you could learn shoot turn over and produce in the space of about an hour or two. The results wern't all that amazing (see shots above) but it was an alright day, another lighting technique learnt i guess.
As for the evening, editing some photos and watching trash tv lays ahead, as i cant afford to head out. Could really do with a night playing xbox but its just not that fun atm.
Financial flaws are beginning to appear in my plan to live off my compensation money as.. atm.. it has all gone quiet over that end, my dad has been made redundant so funds from rents are limited and i havent even paid this terms RENT :O i have £350 in my bank which im hoping to pay but they wont let me... because i have to pay half and not installments and now im being told to go to a "Crisis" meeting.. this is not a "Crisis" people, its just a change of circumstances, my spending habits havent changed! my flow of money has! GIVE ME MORE MONIEZ!

23. Set Build and Campaigns

Yes, Yes, More shall come later.. these rubbish pictures are from my blackberry, apologies on quality. It's basically a visual rep, of the Set build workshop we did today.. spent alot of time building, not enough time lighting so ended up not as well as wished but we found out how to produce a great demo set... minus the lighting. Didn't need to remind myself im a photographer not a carpenter. Ha, my Dad would be so disappointed with my severely limited Chippy skills today.

Oh yeah p.s The Hasselblad is absolutely fucking awesome to shoot on.. was actually really good to use it today.

22. Diesel, Apparel and Set build

Grabbed some awesome ideas off my pals for the Diesel Campaign (Kudos to Ian Harries and Rhys Harries with their crazy ideas) got to see if they pass with Caroline tomorrow. Sketched up some shots of what i want.. so we shall see.
Really tired it is 03:47 and im up to uni for 10:00 so im gonna go grab some z's

21. Valentines

Had a great weekend with teh lover, as it would be. Spent a reasonable amount of cash and DO I FEEL IT NOW!?! but it was al worth it.
Got a bit drunk on Sat night as you can see from my post, however it was a ridiculously good night, even if i am beginning to get a reputation for throwing my alcoholic beverages when im drunk at people.
Shooting the band shoot for Brannigans Law on Saturday, and got a gig shoot on friday, insane weekend ahead.
Today got the brief for Set build, it looks insane, can't wait to get stuck in for this project, however must begin the crazy Diesel campaign for tomorrow first.. AH
