Back in the room


BACK IN THE ROOM

So I think I can safely say that I'm now 'back in the room'. I've purchased some superglue from the local 99p shop, and I have successfully glued back the pieces of the broken heart I had. I wasn't sure if 'GloyGum'* would do the trick on this occasion, so I made sure that I bought some of the really strong stuff. The stuff that has the added bonus of getting you high at the same time. Of course I'm not condoning glue-sniffing of course, as not only is it dangerous, it is so 1985...

*for anyone who doesn't remember Gloygum, this 'glue' (if you can call it that) was imposed on us in primary school and was pretty useless at even sticking two pieces of paper together.


EYES WIDE OPEN

Yesterday me and my two friends from Bologna took a guided tour of the street art in East London with our rather handsome and charming guide. If you are interested in street art I would definitely recommend this walk! The only drawback to the tour was the incessant rain! After 4 hours I had more water swishing inside my boots than can be found in the River Thames. However I was amazed that despite living in East London for the past few years, I hadn't noticed exactly how much amazing street art I was surrounded by. It goes to show how you can walk around with your eyes closed. Well my eyes have definitely been prised back open, in more ways than one. They are well and truly open for business...

SHOOTS

So I've been spending a lot of my time working on my next project which I will be shooting on the 9th December. It will be one of the first times that I actually shoot a short film based around the same concept as my photos, so we will see how it pans out. I did try my hand at directing some of the scenes for a short 5 minute film that we shot in North London last week. So once this film is available I will post the link on here. I met some lovely people during my two days, and hopefully picked up some useful tips on story-boarding, directing and shooting. Stanley Kubrick, watch yer back !

Cheerio for now!
