It was directed well and the story was well laid out and quite faithful to the stage production but the casting really let it down…. The last one was Vanity Fair: i love Reese Whitherspoon and i thought it would be a witty period piece about a girl who rises above adversity…. Now, i don’t want this to be one of those blogs where the writer whinges constantly about her problems, so this will probably be my last post for a while, until i am up and running again.
(well as soon as my chiro gets back and I can actually move but oh well) I actually got the courage to visit Making Life Easy and am now the proud owner of a reacher, a dressing stick and a cane that is actually appropriate for my injuries…. Next we will be looking at a reclining lift chair (electronic, it will lie me back and help me get up without effort – this will reduce the strain on the injuries) and rails for the Loo so that I can get myself up without bringing my cane in with me!!I can’t believe it has taken me this long to get all this stuff but for a long time I was optimistic that I would heal and any purchases like that would be a waste of money and space…. My doctor has been telling me for some time now that it will almost certainly be permanent and all we can hope for is an increase in mobility so it is long overdue that I just admit that I need help and move on. These tools are here for my independence and if they can help me lead a normalish life and let Liam get back to work so much the better.I do feel a little like an old lady tho – thankfully lift chairs now come in quite attractive microsuede!
It is highly textured and, although you cant see it in the photo (its pretty bad, I will re-shoot it later) it has a lot of colors like red and purple…. Not really – and that is another reason why it is important, it is the first piece that is so part of me that I really don’t care what anyone thinks (except Liam)…. It’s from Family Guy’s Chris in one of my favorite episodes ‘A Picture’s Worth a Thousand Bucks’ “It’s partly an expression of my teenage angst but mostly its a moo cow!”
This is a sketch of a pretty Vietnamese girl mom took a photo of in Vietnam. the angle presented some really interesting issues as did the fact that her face was very smooth -lines make features easier to capture – a young face with few lines and shadows are difficult to create character in –…
This is a portrait of a little boy. I thought his little face was beautiful. This was basically to see if I can still do portraits and I think the answer is yes. I like the dark rough background – it contrasts with the softness of his pretty face. I have charcoal in my lungs.…
I am officially over putting the date in the title – what a waste of time! it shows the date on the blog anyway so I am not going to bother anymore. This is a 5 minute sketch of a male nude in charcoal (obviously). I didn’t want to do a blended charcoal image so…
I have finally finished my photography final folio. Kmart’s digital printing service sucks but I have my photos. I also leaned too late that my hoopy printer doesn’t need special cartridges to print really good photographs and I could have saved myself the trouble but oh well. I printed a nice cover for my folio.…
Oo Pretty!
It seems that a lot of people are feeling blah – I have been reading friends blogs, and strangers blogs, and talking to people and blah is the word of the week…. Unfortunately today’s weather sucked so they are really dim and not particularly good…. monash uni sounds like a good subject to do a series of photographs from – but in reality it sucked.
PostSecretA most excellent community project. Touching, sad, morbid and frequently funny. it is very worth looking at the postcards.
