What I'm Listening To:

I have decided that it's a nice idea to have a 'What I'm Listening To' section, as I seem to listen to decent music (well at least I think so, of course).  So at the end of my posts (maybe not all of them, but most) I will have a link to what I am listening to. 

Because I only thought of this later and not during writing my last post, I will post it here. 

What I am listening to tonight is: James Blake- A Case of You
I find this song incredibly compelling.  I had originally heard the song while in the car with my Mum and we both fell in love instantaneously.  We ended up listening to it three times in a row and then today I was in the car with my Mum again and she asked for me to play it.  We then listened to it another five or six times. 
I later went home and looked up the video clip, which I also found quite emotion evoking and in someways confronting. All up, it is incredibly beautiful and I recommend you to listen to it.  

Undergoing Changes.

So I am currently undergoing changes. And no, not like that... 
The main change is that I am moving house! (although still with my parents) We are moving from the humble town of Scarborough to the uppity suburb of Ascot.  To be honest, I look at the houses on either side of our new place and think "what are we doing in an area like this? It's so ritzy" (both the houses on either side of our 'soon-to-be' house are massive). But in saying that, it feels reasonably comfortable- even with out the furniture (which is going in tomorrow!) 


We have been incredibly blessed to be able to rent this place, in this location. It has such a spectacular view of the city! 



But with the change of moving, I have decided that other changes need to be made. 

First of all, with my self.  I will be setting up two jars in my room- one which I will be filling with notes of things I am grateful for (a Gratitude Jar), and another for spare change (Savings jar), as I am saving up for a new lens (70-200).  Hopefully this will change my attitude about certain things (because honestly, we all have little attitude problems that we need to fix) and hopefully the notes remind me of the joys in my life, and hopefully the savings jar keeps me motivated to keep working at things I really want. 


I also want to really get into shape! No more saying I will, and then not doing it.  

I am going to really stick into it and work hard (or at least harder then I have been) and I am also wanting to eat better. 
Plus 'healthy' food is always so much fresher and tastier. 
So, sounds like a good deal to me- Tasty food + hot body. 
"Fitness watch out! Here I come!"


My 365. I have not completely decided, but I think after the move I will be converting it into a 52 week project.  As I have slightly struggled with the upkeep of the 365, especially during exam periods and end of year and with getting another job this year (oh and doing wedding photography) I just don't see it an option at the moment.  So i'm hoping it might take a load off and hopefully I will keep it consistent (unlike my 365).  



Finally, I am wanting to make a few changes on this blog.  Start taking more photos.  Give it a bit of a face lift and make over.  And possibly try and work out a logo or something! 

So keep an eye out! (Felt even more inspired after seeing the fresh and stunningly beautiful blog, Here Comes The Sun by long time blogger Amanda) Good changes are ahead. 


OH! One last bit. 

I have recently made a Facebook page for my photography and it would mean a bundle if you liked it and (if it's worthy) shared it with your friends. 
I am looking into photographing some more weddings. So if you're interested in a wedding/event/portrait/ANYTHING photographer- please let me know!
