My life through my phone...

It's been a while since i stopped by and said a proper hello so i thought i would write a little blog post on...well life at the moment.

This time last year i was an anxious wreck because of the roads, i was also in the beggining of my 365, a project you all probably know finished on day 70. This year, i'm taking self portraits cause i want to instead of have to, and because of that i'm enjoying it.

I cried this morning while driving to work, not because i was frightened of slipping on the ice, or because i was stressed at work...no i cried because i was listening to one of my favourate songs and looking ahead of me at the amazing sunrise and the phenominal city of Cambridge and i just felt happy...so i welled up and smiled :)

So in some ways in the last few weeks i've started a new kind of 365, taking a photo (almost) every day of whatever i want, i might be in it sometimes, but most of the time, i take photos of the sky, the fog, the sun, the fields, the frost, the snow and my life....i thought i would show you them (with some music to accompany the view).


My favourate song this week :)

Enchanted

Me soaking in the fog...
 






When i drive and listen to this song i think of the dark, driving on the motorway in the dark and watching the lights pass me by. Listening to the dull murmer of the engine and the slight breeze from the open window where i flick the ash from my cigarette.

I get bored at work....

And so the snow starts, you don't even notice as you're asleep but down it comes and stays untill the first rain washes it away.

This one and...

A cold space
...this one are in the same place.



Listen and watch, this song reminds me of Nirrimi's photography, the lyrics, the sound the atmosphere.

My town...

At the vintage fair with my best friend Jen, a few weeks ago we talked on the phone for 4 hours, it was like we were 14 again.

The snow remained in the nooks and crannies.

Picking out a wedding dress....or rather, hanging out with Matt in Oxfam.





This song just does something to me....listen to it LOUD!




In the morning before work

Always looking back...

My favourate sunrise this year...this made my cry!

    I do find it inspiring hearing what others absorb in a day in their life. Your photography speaks to me so I shall endeavour to come to your blog more too. Keep it up.
