New Year "New Me"

2 0 1 5

Last night I created some new resolutions for me to tackle this year. One of them being more organised which could include keeping up to date on my blog. In other words it should.

 I enjoy writing on my blog, keeping a little diary of my thoughts, what I'm up to and what I've discovered. So why don't I do it more often? I could tell you I'm not a procrastinator but I would be lying. 

I don't like to rush the posts I create, I like to have time to sit down, relax and spill out my thoughts while linking pictures/flixels/videos and making sure the composition is correct.

Since deciding to borrow the Canon camera over the holidays, I've gathered a fair amount of videos and images considering Location Photography. As I just finished writing, I just remembered that I need to compare two photographers. I will get to that! Either today/tonight or tomorrow!

Every time I've had the opportunity to go out I took my bag, packed it with my fine liner and tin of pencils, my sketchbook for Drawing from Observation and the camera. Whether it would be a walk down the street or a trip up to Edinburgh or Glasgow. I'd be capturing moments whether it was in Spoons or sitting on the train.

I would love to purchase one of these camera's as it has benefitted my work immensely, whether through film, photography or flixels. There's nothing better than capturing a great piece of footage or taking a half decent photograph and looking forward to going home to edit and use within your work.

My brother Jamie and I ventured up to Glasgow on Saturday 27th. I haven't been up to Glasgow for about three years so I thought it would be a great opportunity to explore, create little pieces along the way and see The Glasgow School of Art building. As we were walking to the passport office I was clutching onto the camera around my neck. As I was walking along I was eyeing down the pavement thinking "I better not fall, I better not fall". About five minutes later I fell. I fell but my first reaction was to safe the camera (which is completely fine). It was the most pathetic fall but it was bloody sore. I ended up having to walk around with a bloody rip in my tights with a bloody knee, until I ended in the toilets of Nando's. 

It was my lovely little last trip (no pun intended) of 2014.

Glasgow is a beautiful city

I'll be uploading flixels from this day out soon which will be on my page at https://flixel.com/alicescot/
