Exposé Live

so today was Xposé Live for STELLAR magazine. i arrived 10 mins early (obv) and waited outside to be met by the lovely Dilan who was to be my partner in crime for the day. he was the "style spotter" and i was the photographer... an unbeatable team! the day was very slow to begin with and kinda continued like that for the day. to be honest it was slim pickings. people where there for comfort rather than style which i found strange for such an event. i can understand why people went for comfortable but would have made my day more interesting if they had have dressed up. so the day was a wave of stylish women of all shapes and sizes arriving at the STELLAR stand, which had myself, Makeup Forever providing free makeovers and STELLAR being sold for half price just €1. it was all go. and the team where very professional and the experience i got was experience i would never have gotten anywhere else. at the end of the day i got the opportunity to photograph the fashion show (pics on flickr), style lesson from Corrina Gaffey and the presentation of the award for most stylish woman that day. I will post pictures from the style search after they have been printed in the magazine. in the mean time check out my flickr!

will you take me back?

have been negligent of blog of late... is all forgiven? so things have been up and down as usual! lot of work (work work) and since the portfolio was handed in not so much photography done although i needed a break! been messin about with it but nothing major. UNTIL two big events this week. one was speakeasy sessions last night where i was asked to be the photographer for the night. was tough. i'd never done an event like that, the pub is small and dark and you can't really move around let alone get candid shots of people in conversation and generally having a good time which is what the brief was. so i adjusted the brief (oops) and did so arty shots, see my flickr, they're up there.

and the second event? tomorrow i will be photographing a style competition for STELLAR magazine. pro bono of course but i will be credited in the magazine! heres hoping it all pans out. ill update tomorrow, i promise!

so very tired...

havin a stressful one this week. for a change you might think. stress for no reason. i'm eating more than i would care to admit. exercising less than i would like AND sitting in on st patrick's night on my own. sad. tired. but warm thanks to my super new electric heater. productive evening though. researching art initiatives i would like to get involved with, stalking the competition and all that so not a total waste of time. tomorrow i shall plan my next photography jaunt. must maintain journal so photos do not seem so one dimensional. enjoy your paddy's day one and all. (probably the one person that reads this really)

standing tall

tomorrow will be a first for me. im goin to croker for the rugby. cannot wait. super excited. kinda tired though. getting lax at the blogging lately. haven't really had anything to say. haven't been cycling. haven't been taking photos. haven't been exercising. have been eating way too much. back on track on monday. no more cider either. although i am having nice thursday nights it seems. there's an event in waterford held every thursday night in murphys on the quay known as the speakeasy sessions and there truely is a great buzz about the place. it's just like minded folk, young and not so young coming together to have a good time. i don't describe it very well because really you have to experience it to know what i'm talking about. so get on down there (plug)

met an interesting artist today. we got to chatting about recession and art and about how often times you will see after any period of economic downturn that there will be a surge in creativeness. that exhibitions and shows will pop up all over the place. food for thought really.

hair hair

today i got a hair cut! nothing special, just more layers, kept my fringe and it is still violently red. i still love it. costs a fortune though. hence the staggering of the dying and cutting. doesnt seem so much when you spread it out. went for a potter around town then. tried on millions (literally) of outfits. bought a skirt, elasticated waistband, mandy will approve. bought a cardi(!) some leopard print heels, to add to the collection and some 50c tights. all in all a very fruitful trip. was a lonesome day. thought i had plans but then realised i didn't and nobody was around so home to watch the biggest load of tripe ever... valentines day! stick to the taking over the world mr goode!

done... done done done

so it's done. my portfolio that is. due in on friday. i am leaving it be. too much messing about with it will just wreck it and my head. now for some ice cream. took everyone's advice on board and don't think i'll be able to thank everyone that helped out. only in helping them out in things that they need. it's been a group effort. time to sit and wait. but in the mean time i have refound my love of photography.
