Leopard Print Girl. 21st November.

I was in Ely today, so I did a little bit of Street Photography (which can be found here) and I saw this woman and I asked for her portrait, because I thought she had a really unique style! 

I also started a little bit of Christmas shopping today too, the thing is I always find it really hard to work out what to get people for Christmas... it'll be worth it when everyone opens their presents and I can see the joyful looks on their faces! 

The Rubik's Cube. 20th November.

I can solve rubik's cubes, that's a little random fact about myself that I thought I would share through my daily photograph! I used to be able to solve one in under a minute, but I've become a little bit rusty at that.

Today my town lost it's water supply, we are still waiting for it to come back, apparently there has been quite a big pipe burst somewhere... you don't realise how dependant you are on things like running water until you loose them, hopefully it'll be back by tomorrow though.

I'm doing some studio shooting tomorrow, which will be fun, and I am also planning on doing some darkroom printing, even more fun!

The Foggy Day. 19th November.

Today was a very foggy day! So foggy that my driving test was cancelled, which was quite annoying as I had driven completely safely to the test centre, just to be told that I couldn't have my test, hopefully I'll be able to book it asap!

I went out in my town today to take some street photographs, as there are some interesting people in my town! I took this photograph and I did quite like it, although it isn't quite street photography... the foggyness of the street and the Christmas decoration make the photograph feel slightly festive... and I love feeling festive :D

Hair. 18th November.

Today I did a Toni & Guy hair shoot with a group of other photographers. It was great fun and we got to be creative with it within our plans for the shoot. This photograph was one of my favourite pictures from the shoot. We had a great model and her hair was styled beautifully, our make up artist worked really well with our directions and she was great to work with. (Make up artist can be found here.). 

These Hands. 17th November.

These are my hands, they're what is behind my photography, my blogging, my music... pretty much everything! Hands are important, I don't know how I'd get by without them! Even though my nail paint may be chipped, my skin may be dry, and the back of my hands are all written over, I still love my hands just as they are!

Noel McGlinchey - Security Guard. 16th November.

This photograph is inspired by Richard Avedon's "American West" portrait series, I took a 5x4 large format technical view camera ( sinar ) into Peterborough and photographed a couple of people who I thought looked interesting, one of them was this man, Noel McGlinchey. I had stuck some white colourama against a wall to serve as a backdrop and got him to stand against it for a portrait. I love the portrait, only shame is that scratch that is on the negative due to the tray developing process. 

I took this photograph last wednesday, but I had only got round to printing it today.. so I think it does count as my daily photo as darkroom printing is a process which finalises a photograph!

I'll be watching you. 15th November.

I went out for a little walk today and this cat was sitting at a window just watching people pass by, so I took a photo of it! I have always liked the idea of having a cat, maybe one day I will get a cat, I mainly like the idea of a cat because they are quite simple to look after, whereas dogs are quite high maintenance (I would prefer dogs though!). Going to be a bit hectic over the next few days, have quite a few deadlines for briefs coming up and I want to make sure that the photographs are as good as they can possibly be!
