Barcelona

and the rest of the photos from Barcelona are here too. Honestly, every single building is beautiful in it's own way, maybe I just don't get out much but I wanted to photograph all of the buildings and architecture I saw

Barcelona

Phew it's been a while, I promised these at lot sooner.

Went to Barcelona for a long weekend with my parents, saw the Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, Hard Rock Cafe all just as packed as the other with tourists ate out a lot and got bitten excessively by bedbugs (It got much worse when I got home, Kate told me I had the plague and took me to A&E)

Enough of my jabbering, here are some of my photos (Holga Mixture of Lomograohy Colour Negative 400 and Kodak Portra  160 Medium format film)
The Following are just from the Sagrada Familia (inside, out and a lovely view across the city.)

Art Foundation

I mentioned in my very first post that I was going to do an Art Foundation course at Southampton City College in september, finally the letter telling me what's going to happen, what i need to bring and stuff came through.

It's quite exiting really, so today I went to town and bought some (not all) of the supplies i'll need for september, they include a set of pencils 6B - 4H Derwent 12 Graphic Medium, a box of 30 Coates willow charcoal, some super cheap paintbrushes from WHsmith's and 3 sheets of pastel paper.

The summer project is this;

• Visit as many galleries and exhibitions as possible (awesome!)
• Make a list of all the things on your mantel piece/shelf/windowsill from left to right, then make a drawing of it using a 2B pencil on A2 size paper, spend a minimum of two hours on it, it's important to get shapes and proportions as accurate as possible. So now I'm doomed, I can't draw in proportion even when I trace things.
• Draw a self portrait of yourself using charcoal on A2 paper, use a mirror not a photograph or imagination, spend 2 hours minimum on this
• get someone to take a photographs of your head from the front, sides and back and print these as 5x4 images
• and a list of 5 things you like and 5 things you dislike. (weird) 

Should be fun!

I just have to ignore the fact i've never used charcoal before, only used HB pencils and don't have a pretty enough windowsill and no mantelpiece and oh the supplies are really damn expensive!

I also bought a new bag and a pair of earrings, and picked up my prints from snappy snaps, and the guy who gave me my prints asked me what kind of photography I liked I said fine art/experimental and he said you might like what I do, and gave me a card.

the website was soultrader.tumblr.com have a look if you dare...

I mean I can appreciate the images artistically like I can with Rankin's work, but I'm not into bondage thank-you very much.
