Woohooooo!

So thanks to Sarah :), I found out that one of the photos I submitted to the illustration category for College Photographer of the Year got to the Semi-finals!!!! I took the image over the summer in Prague when I was studying fashion photography. Yay I'm really happy. On the website, they have a video of the judges analyzing all of the images. It was interesting to hear what they had to say. Just thought I'd add that bit of info to my blog . Now back to my paper.

This morning I went to Portobello road again to work on my business story. Then I headed to class and learned some more about flash. We were assigned to do a portrait shot outside using natural light and flash. Luke and I had a wonderful time obviously and got some nice pictures. Tonight I will continue to work on my paper...how fun for me.

Shitty weather today. I went to Notting Hill to photograph my business story. I think I got some pretty good pics. I plan to go back tomorrow too. Tonight I have to write a paper. Sadness. I really don't feel like doing work...Lately I've been getting home sick. I don't know why..I love being here but I think its because we're getting close to the holidays. I miss my brother too. Ok thats all for now.

Today I did some exploring of markets. I first went to Cabbage & Frocks on Marylebone High Street. It's a pretty small market but did have some nice clothes and food stands. I then went to Dover Street Market in Mayfair which was the coolest place ever. Its described as a new type of retail concept from Rei Kawakubo of Comme de Garcons. Its 6 floors of bare walls and steel beams featuring over a dozen designers. Its kind of like an art exhibit of clothing that you can buy (that is if you can afford it). I sadly could not. I left empty handed and headed to Fortnum & Masons on Piccadilly. Its kind of like Harrod's but not as good. The Christmas window displays are really pretty though. Time to make some dinner...

Time for the weekend! Ah I'm so happy this week is over...Three of my roommates are off to Amsterdam and the other one was supposed to go to Florence on the school trip and now is not for some reason. Oh well. I'm trying to decide if I want to go out tonight. We'll see what happens. Happy Thursday!

Woke up pretty early today to go to the gym and then do some shooting. The weather was nice today and sun was out for most of it. After class let out, Luke, Helen, and I made our way to St. Paul's station and from there walked to the Eye. I think I got some ok shots of Big Ben, the Eye, etc. I have plenty of homework to do tonight...not looking forward to it. My mom and grandmother went home this morning. I'm really glad they came and miss them already...
