Right, so I may have stolen the title of this post from the amazing Mr. Patrick Watson but it's just appropriate so you will all have to deal with it. I've also made a revelation that I may or may not be the most committed blogger...The internet proves far too distracting, what with endless youtube clips and well, facebook creeping... Oh, I've just made another revelation that maybe I need to explore more of this world wide web thing...It's more of a world wide corner for me.
Anywho, on to things that are actually relevant to this blog. I just did another photo shoot last night with a beautiful girl called Alice Myles. She's a housemate of one of the girls at the hotel and a looker with legs for days. ha. Alice, I hope you read this. For my second shoot I tried to explore a more free spirited approach to the water imagery theme. For those who have seen my work in the past you'll probably think this shoot is more along the lines of the type of ethereal stuff I usually do. There were flowers, bird cages and a chair in the ocean. It all ended up looking a bit surreal and I am extremely happy with the way the photos have turned out.
I'm also amazed at the caliber of people I am working with. So far each person has been totally committed to the themes and really willing to explore and get inside a character. it's really amazing when you have wonderful people to work with because it makes things so much easier and a lot of fun.
Other then that I have been working on some short stories and poetry to go along with the images. I wish I could share these things with you guys but i really don't want to ruin the surprise for those who are going to attend the exhibition. But just to keep you updated, I'm really feel like things are coming along nicely and I'm really, really excited as I work towards the final project. It's actually been a dream of mine to do an exhibition using both images and creative writing and I can't really believe how I managed to fall backwards into it. To quote my good friend joe, "it's pretty fucking cool."
Also, I've just been speaking to my friend Thomas Xylophone Dearnely-Davison (his middle name may or may not be fictitious but is definitely awesome) who is the Online Editor of Spindle Magazine here in Brighton. I have been asked to do a shoot for the September issue! Spindle is a really cool Arts and Fashion Magazine and I'm am elated to be able to work with them and have some of my stuff IN PRINT. Tom, who I suspect may read this, has taken my career in his able hands and is going to make me a star...or crush me if I'm not up to snuff...ha. He said that I swear.
So it's looking like Brighton was a really good move for me. Amazing people and a real chance to push my limits and see what I can do. I'll be sure to keep you updated on what happens next. And for those of you who take the time to read this:
Thanks for listening,
Stephanie
