Impromptu Pictures
I'm in the mid-semester break from university, and for a short while I am going to ignore the applicable matters at hand (assignments, studying for tests and catching up on lectures I have missed while hurriedly doing other assignments). On Tuesday I slept in for quite a while, and had a series of interesting dreams, and while these alternative realities were nice places to be, when I was thinking my experience a short while later in the shower I realised I'm actually quite content with my life. I was relieved.
This week I snuck into my Granddad's flat and took some pictures. He hasn't lived here for that long, so the place is by no means "this is Granddad", I just thought it would make some interesting photos. I got a bit bold with the exposure and overcooked the film, so I'm going to go back another time and be more careful.

Snapshots
Scenes from Christchurch:
I saw someone meditating in the afternoon sun at university.
Food caravans at the Arts Centre (which happens to be the old university campus in the city). It's all foreign cuisine, and smells delicious. I'm vegan, which excludes everything here from my diet, but if I wasn't then it would be very hard to pick something to eat.
I was out with my mother and we decided to rest our legs at a cafe. Again, nothing vegan, but it looked good.
Soy milk to the rescue. If I have a camera with me I always photograph food and drink before they're touched.

Flat-Profile
What's going on here?
"Eileen is the flat grandmother. Every flat has to have one. She does her fair share of the cooking and cleaning, the sober driving. She's the biggest party animal of all of us; goes for the longest. We get drunk and sing "Come on, Eileen".

Impromptu Pictures
Last Friday I drove away from the city to take some self portraits. I started doing these 9 months ago, I'm not sure why, and I don't know what it's all about either, but I enjoy it and the series seems interesting.
I went back to the same place I used for last month's competition, and took some pictures with strobe since I was no longer shooting under the competition's constraints. It's nice to have some sharp pictures to play with!
