Impatience, Lookalikes and The Royal Wedding



William & Kate a little impatient for their Wedding night?



Also You have to check these two videos out if you haven't already.
First one is for the T-Mobile campaign.. just brilliant! I must admit first time i watched it i actually thought it was really the Royal family.. Gullible me.



















 And this one, I just love 'Kate's' face there.

Alison Jackson never fails with the lookalikes does she.




Right, now more on a serious note, The Wedding was just beautiful today.. and i have to mention Catherine's dress.. just amazing! Sarah Burton did her job well. Kate also has chosen a dress by Sarah Burton for the evening party as well which is just as stunning and delicate.




Also, I went to Westminster Abbey last night to interview people queuing for the Royal Wedding, therefore I will add some pictures of the camping madness during the weekend as well as some of the interviews which a few were a little shocking! 

Have a good long weekend peeps

The not so planned outcome - More Pictures from Zenit







So heres a few more pictures from Portugal as well as one of the big moon (19th march 2011) and one of me. All of them came out a bit different to what I planned as (long story short) I kind of ruined the film while taking it out of the camera as well as having few other problems with it.. yes silly me. Im still happy with some of the outcome, I must admit at first I get a bit annoyed/upset when something like this happens however, its kind of exciting when looking at the developed prints as its so unexpected how they came out.

Anyway, hope all of you are having a great weekend, Happy Easter.

Inspiration is everything



A little bit of my careers management notes. 
We were given a talk from the Peepshow Collective, which I really enjoyed as it's not everyday that you get to listen to a few amazing designers talking about their work and how they got to where they are now. They were giving us few ideas about which paths we can choose to take after we graduate as well as how to improve our portfolios and get some real life work experience in the industry. Some of you will probably find the notes a bit confusing as its basically in two languages, and yes I myself still find it a bit weird that this is what I do sometimes


Definitely have a look at their website if you haven't already http://www.peepshow.org.uk/

The Charming Portugal















Got my photos from Portugal developed and here are a few that I took with Zenit
I will add more soon from Diana Mini, Dslr and more Zenit which I accidentally ruined the film but few really cool ones came out!

I think I said this to nearly everyone by now, however I need to mention it here as well how amazing, unique and absolutely beautiful Portugal/Algarve is! When I looked at the buildings I felt like Im in one of my imagined places where everything looks unreal, especially in The Old Town nearly all the buildings are white and so similar, its almost like a theme that is not allowed to be changed or broken if that makes sense. The beaches which I could lye on, walk over and look at for as long as I could are stunning with gold sand, crystalline water and astonishing rock formations with the surrounding caves are amazing and I just cant imagine anyone not enjoying it as much as we did!

Parents Ideals?



One of the ideas for the Paul Arden - Legacy exhibition.
The quote from Paul Ardens book "It's not how good you are, It's how good you want to be" somehow got me thinking the opposite and how often you hear parents talking about their kids (sometimes even babies) with the high expectations of whom they want them to be in the future, if the parents are successful they expect their kids to be just as good if not better, but then it makes perfect sense coz doesn't every parent want whats best for their children? 


Ps. Sorry I haven't been very active here lately, everything has been kind of crazy and only just got back from Portugal on friday! (was pretty awesome!) I'll put some photos up once I get them developed! But now I need to stop the holiday mood that I'm in and get on with some work.
