some days it seems like my passion for food is too overpowering of my time. i still dont know if it is something bad or good.
my relationship with photography is still a love/hate. sometimes i love it so much its all i think of, and some other times i feel like i should be doing something far more productive with my life rather than sitting in a room and discussing the colour of a girls shirt damaging a photograph. it seems ridiculous. i think most of my hate comes from my hate towards school. as of right now im in love. im in love with being able to capture what i see in my head. i am in love with being able to create my art and i love the direction its taking. overall i think i am pretty happy with how things are going.
on a more serious note(ha!): i am never ashamed of my love for the giant that is brangelina. and how exciting is it that she is pregnant again!? if i were ever to get my dream present it would have to be the W magazine in which they did a 60 page spread on them.

its about 60$ on ebay and you know whats coming up? my anniversary with the boyfriend (;))
a while ago i got ridiculously into runway fashion shows. well today i finally got to see the only runway i am ever excited to see every season: Burberry Prorsum. just how fucking sexy adorable is this coat? and by the way who is super excited about their new parfum (the beat) coming out in march? i know i am!


i feel like this was a whole lot of nothing. sorry =\ maybe next time i will update something more worth reading.

Polaroid 330

So my dad found a Polaroid 330 for me. The battery was dead so I had to rig it up with two AA batteries. The 330 takes standard polaroid packfilms 669, 667 etc which were still being made up until like a week ago. I've been messing around with it and haven't really mastered it yet. So far most of my images have been too dark. Above is the photo I took of my grandpa on his tractor while up north last weekend. Turned out sort of blue even though I developed it inside where it should have been warm enough. Weird. I might try modifying it to use an external flash. thanks to erick for the flash link. For more of my 330 experiments check my polaroid set on flickr

4 things i am currently obsessed with

1. POLAROIDS
a while ago me and my boyfriend became obsessed with polaroid. our polaroid wall has about 200 type 600 film polaroids. and about two months ago we even more obsessed with buying different polaroid cameras rather than the normal oneStep.
(SX-70)
this has to be my favorite camera ever. everyone and their moms and dogs talks about this camera but i cant talk about polaroid and not mention this one. it took a while to get used to the exposure settings but once you get to know the camera it can practically do anything you want it too. if i could only have one camera it would definately be this one.
*ebay has a lot of reasonably priced ones

2. CUPS
i got into (tea)cups this winter while being back home.
the big chunky ones are great for hot cocoa topped with tiny marshmallows, girly movie and fluffly blankets. as of right now i am in love with the more tiny, delicate ones that are perfect for tea (green tea +pomegranate being my favourite).
anthropologie.com has some incredibly amazing teacups. their monogrammed missus cups are my obsession.


3. NECKLACES
long simple and bold necklaces are the only necklaces anyone should ever have to wear. you can wear as many or as little as you want and it still looks incredible. urbanoutfitters has some very nice pieces like that envelope i love you one, but forever21 and h&m have cheaper cute ones.




4. KASABIAN
english quartet kasabian is probably one of the best bands from the british rock ish type of music that is going on right now. i first heard of them while watching green street hooligans and fell in love. their Empire album touches more on the subject of war which is something i dont really tend to be into but the music is awesome, the lyrics are catchy, and the videos amazing. i cannot recommend this band enough, even though everyone already knows/loves them.
