Brain dump

Well once again its been a while. Life does not always find time for blogging and when its been as crazy as my life gets it gets even harder...

Times have changed and people have to, my life has been one big fight and hill after another these past few months and I dont see things changing soon. I think i know what to do and how to fix it but its all about getting things sorted before hand and that is where everything comes to blows.

Life is hard and we pray for the strength to keep on fighting it. With Up's there will be downs and finding a middle grown is sometimes a very hard thing to find. Love, Friends, Family and Money all have there ware on me and spending time alone to save money just makes every little thing seem so much bigger.

I am not 100% sure why i have come back to my blog to put some of these things down on a screen but a little feed dump could only help I guess.

For now I leave you with love and I hope that your life is a little smoother than mine.

Well its been a while!

Alix Latex shoot

Last week I had another shoot with my friend Alix... This time it was in the studio aka my flat and I got to use the new studio lights I picked up on Monday.

It took me a little while to edit the images but I ended up with what I through was some okay image, not my strongest set but still i did not think they were to bad...

Was I forward them to the clinte she was not a big fan of them, now looking back I do think they could have been better, I think as I was working with the new lights I was not thinking about the shots themselves as much as the lighting - Something all togs do is forget about one thing when there thinking about so many others.

I do have trouble with the falt as a studio as its not very big and limits where i can shoot from. Having the space give you room to move around and find some cool angles but in the flat if i wanna get full body shots I only have one place to go and even that is limited by the bed.

All in all I have some ideas for fixing these issues and hoping to get some of them sorted out soon.

I'm "Fucked up"

Enough said!

GIF?

My 1st GIF... Lets see if this works

Ok for some reason Facebook does not let GIFs on but here is something we made the other day on mine and Alix's shoot. Hope you enjoy

What If?

I just spent the last 20mins in the shower...

With water running down my back and bad things going through my heads.

What if I disappoint her, what if I am not good, what if I let her down and make her hate me... The worst kind of cold feet! I dont like this feeling, It reminds me of our 1st date where I took a little something extra just in case I did not live up to my rave personality. On that night I did not need anything and the evening went would a hitch (and lead to some of the best years of my life)

One way or the other I will be seeing her face again in a matter of hours and I do long for it.

This is going to be an interesting day - head fuck or not!

Wish me luck

Goodbye My Old Friend (byebye DCs)

Today I have tossed out something I have had for over 6 years

I got these bad boys just before I left Sweden and are my last pair of skater shoes. They still look ok if a little worn but I loved them for there toughness and the look but were amazing when it was raining (and living in England it rains alot) but when it last snowed in London I felt a bump and by the time i got home i found out why... There was a hole in the soul and the snow had packed itself in there...

So I cant wear them in in the rain and they dont look good enough for anything other than skating (something I dont really do any more)

So goodbye my old friend, I will miss you! 

Microsoft might have lost me... Will Sony pick me up?

I am not a very happy gamer... 

I joined a mass amount of gamers yesterday to watch the live reveal of the new Xbox

After all that waiting - IM PISSED!!!

Once again MovieBob has said it better than I ever could

You might have followed my feed on tweeter/Facebook while the show was on and you could tell i was not happy. I really feel like this is it for me, I think the Xbox 360 will be the last new console that I ever buy.

I feel cheap and dirty after seeing that show and my love for MS as a gaming platform just went out the window, with everything from EA and COD i felt it could not go any lower - I was wrong.

Now one of the MAIN companies in gaming is basicly making a fucking DVR that lets me do thing I never do or they let me do things I can already do.

I found the whole show to be lame and almost insulting - With nothing on gaming and just telling me its going to be a centre for my living room is just silly. 

All we got to see was 

1. Tt can change the channel over (Thank MS I have a remote)
2. Can watch live telly (no one watchs live telly MS)
3. You can use Bing! on Internet explorer (Do I even need to say it?)

4. Its going to be pretty - So was the last generations of consoles 

5. It looks like a VCR! from the 80s
and last but not least - D.R (FUCKING) M demarding an always online connection! 

Today we found out about under games will have a charge on them killing used games and borrowing games as well, So far I am so pissed off at MS that I am half temped to just toss my xbox 360 outa the window in protest! 

At this rate MS has now lost me to Sony and with PS4 - If sony fuck this up then this might be the last new console I will ever buy :( a sad day in my life

Alix Chopstix Grey Skater Shoot (20130522)

Today I did my 2nd shoot with the amazing Alix Grey, Last weeks shot went so well and we ended up with some amazing images. Emily was nice enough to help me out again and I do have to say this was the fastest shoot I have ever done - but if you put a model in a latex outfit in a cold skater park its always going to be a quick shoot.

After a quick stop at Starbucks we headed to the skate park, We set up fast and said hello to the skaters that where there, Alix sliped out of her street stuff and we got to see the latex dress we had herd so much about.

But your not here to read about it - You wanna see some of the images!
