Uh oh.
I just realised. If my photography isn't good enough to get me into uni, them I'm seriously screwed. My whole life plan [what I've got palnned so far] will be fucked up. That scares me an awful lot.
I just went on a massive flickr deleting spree. I went from 190 pictures to 76.
I go through moments of absolutely hating my photography. I sort of know what style I want, but I can never acheive it. Ever. At all. I just end up with more crap pictures.
I want to be sort of like these two people:

It'll never happen though. At least I don't think so.

Insence
This is an incredibly old picture. It was taken with my Canon.
School is taking over my life. As usual.
I've been unmotivated. As usual.
I've been baking. As usual.
I've not spoken to my father in a while. As usual.
My mother took my camera off me. I don't know when I'll get it back. Hopefully today.

Bunny Ear Flower.
I've been contacted by a book publisher and might be having 5 of my pictures published!!!!
This isn't one of them. I don't think.
My mum walked into my bedroom as I was taking this. Let's just say it was awkward. She wanted to know what I was doing 'waltzing around the house in a short short skirt and her high heels.' I hardly ever wear skirts. I kinda like how this turned out. It took a lot of trying. I don't have a tripod yet, so I was balancing my camera on a chair. It wasn't straight so the background was screwed up. Then I tried the ground. It was too low. Finally, I got our huge esky, shoved a book on top and then I had my make-shift tripod.
But my camera decided it needed more than the wall to focus on, so I had to have a painting in front ot the camera, then focus, set the auto timer, run to wall [on the carpet in heels], move the painting, bend my knee and wait for the camera to actually take the picture. I was happy with the results though, so it was all worth it.

Missing deadlines isn't much fun.
So, I found this Canon [*cringe*] competition, and I was going to enter the portraiture contest, but I missed the application deadline by 2 DAYS. That 'sucks' majorly. There is an open competition, I believe it's low light, but I'm not sure if I want to enter it. Oh well. Maybe next year.
My new camera is going great.
We're moving house. Sorry for the lack of posts. Or the lack of content in the posts.

And I'll give a flower to you.
Bokehlicious.
That's what this is. Well, not really. Bokeh is over-rated in the world of photography. At leat, I think it is. But I've seen some flickr phostreams with some amazing bokeh. I don't know. Good? Bad? I think it depends on how the picture has been executed, what it is actually of, whether or not it is fake [the stuff people 'make' that are shapes - now that's what I call trashy]....
Anywho, I'm really enjoying my new camera. I love it a lot. I just need to learn how to really use it. It can be slighlty frustrating sometimes, but I am new to DSLR photography and it will get better the more I use it.
