24 days until christmas!
A random number, until you remember that 24 means that i've eaten the first cute little chocolate in the advent calendar! yay! Part of me says that i'm getting just a wee bit old for them... At 21 i should really have forgotton about little doors with chocolate behind them, but then, why would anybody do that!?!?! If you are unfortunate enough not to have an advent calendar, i implore you to go and find one! Yes, i know, its cheaper simply to buy a block of chocolate and eat it, but the satisfaction just isn't the same as finding out what cheesy little picture is printed on the inside of the door, and whether your chocolate is shaped like a cracker, or a tree, or a mini santa! Even Murphy (the dog) has one in our house, with special doggy treats behind each foor, and if a dog can look forward to it, everybody should! Many people would agree with me when i say "it's the little things". This is one such 'little thing'.
Not only that, when you get to 24, that means it's christmas! which is where eating chocolate comes into it's own, and you start to thank yourself for 24 days of practice!
On a seperate subject, the latest deviations, or rather, the last god knows how many, covering a wide array of things, what's there... some multiple composites, my suicide, fireworks night, some modern dancers, a random portrait session, some real life film images! shock horror! A triptic, if thats the right word? Some macro needles, which people seem to like, isn't it wierd how what you think are your better photos people don't bother with, and some you think less of, people like?? and lastly, four photos using darkfield illumination, new to me, which is rather cool, and has alot of potential for the future, i shall be doing some more of that.
On the darkfield illumination subject, i was talking to Claire (gf<3) about it, who then sent me an e-mail. I opened it, Gmail said, "scanning for viruses", only to open up two photomicrographs, as she called them, of, well, viruses! i thought that was amusing, apologies, i really am that pathetic sometimes..... It seems that she is, in her veterinary way, already familiar with them! Only really small ones, in response to this, i'm going to do a really big one! hahaha! Possibly next week, if all goes well i'll post it, if not, i have failed, and she will have the last laugh! lol!
Happy December!
