hunters and collectors

sorry for the lack of updates. my exams have finally finished now and i am out of the withdrawal phase i was going through since i hadn't taken pictures (proper pictures!) for over a month now. this is from a random/unplanned shoot i did on friday. we made up the ideas as we progressed and the duck feather is just random. we found it on the floor and thought it would be 'cool' to use. doing a shoot with no ideas to start with and having a lot after taking a few pictures, i kind of liked it. i always plan my shoots in so much detail i always find myself being somewhat disappointed at the final outcome. i always think i didnt do well enough because it looks better in my head when i plan it but i guess not having a set of expectations or a fixed idea that you plan is a good thing for me because to be honest i was quite pleased with whatever i managed to capture. this is quite different to my normal 'happy' pictures. i am still experimenting and am not yet ready to be confined by limitations. on other news, i went to oxford for the weekend and managed to take a lot of pictures (self portraits) in the middle of a field which was quite fun since it involved a lot of jumping and throwing things around ;) i also went to a hill which had amazing view of the landscapes of oxfordshire. i will upload those pictures as soon as i am finished editing them. i like so many pictures it's going to be difficult to choose!

i am in love with this video! dcfc never fails to amuse me. i had been meaning to blog this video for so long but i wanted it to correspond with the pictures and i think the song/video goes well with this set. :)
