I have pretty miserable sleeping habits. This is actually a picture of the sun rising - not setting. I began to realise just how messed up my sleeping patterns were when I was still awake at 4:30 AM doing not very much at all, and somehow thought this extremely normal somewhere in my convoluted little mind.
Although, I haven't been completely unproductive.
"Lady Boat Woman", April 2012
This is a piece I completed recently, I actually started this in Rye when I had nothing much to do one night.
And that's LADY BOAT WOMAN, as in Lady Margaret or Lady Sophie or some other posh name - not one long adjective lady-boat-woman as you might think.
One of the many stores around my campus is a store called Handworks, "Nouveau Paperie". As the name implies they sell high-end stationary products and unique journals, as well as scrap booking stuff. I stopped by and bought a plain black journal, had to get something simple as the more expensive handmade leather journals were somewhere in the region of 200 bucks a pop.
Anyway the reason I wanted a journal with a lot of pages is so that I can write down my dreams properly. I have small notebooks by the side of my bed where I jot down important words when I wake up to remember the dream later, but they're usually haphazard phrases and broken fragments of sentences. I don't really have a notebook where I can write my dreams down in detail. Hopefully it'll help me improve my creative writing skills as at the moment they are virtually non-existent.
This book is made in Korea, and it smells like kim chi too.
I thought the Handwork's business card was really interesting.
You can see the little toy thing I picked up from an op shop the other day, it's one of those children's toys they let you play with at the doctor's. I used to absolutely LOVE these when I was a kid, they were endlessly entertaining, so of course when I saw this miniature one for $1 I had to grab it immediately.
Oh and the reason that the video looks old is because I accidentally left the vintage filter on when recording; please don't think my room is lit by glow worms or some strange coloured lightbulb.
Bought this interesting photo album the other day.
The photos of the end result turned out pretty weird looking so I just ran them through random photo shop filters.
OH AND YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I FOUND IN AN OP SHOP THE OTHER DAY.
Isn't it beautiful??
Literally walked past the window and almost didn't see this sitting there. But it like, called to me. It was like fate or something.
It boggles my mind that no-one else bought it before me, it was only $20.
I still don't know if it functions 100% or not though; they don't sell the batteries for this model anymore since they contained mercury - I had to use a different method involving aluminium foil to get it to turn on. I guess I'll find out if it works or not when I get the film processed.
Speaking of which, does anyone know where I can get film processed cheap in Melbourne? They're only small rolls.
I'm not sure what I should name it. Since it's really old, maybe a really old British name, like Trafalgar.
Yeah, I like Trafalgar.
Well here's a shot I snapped coming home from Uni the other day. Since I opened with a sunset I guess it's kinda fitting that I end with a night shot?
God I'm so lame.
