Ah, self photography. I know, I know, it's annoying, but I felt like taking pictures and no one else was around! Soon I'll post some better (more exciting) stuff. And I'm also working on a cool story which hopefully I can get up here soon...

Mood: Headachingly tired, blissful
Listening to: Death Cab for Cutie, anything Hillsong
Reading: Haven't got that far yet; have my eye on The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold.
Watching: Prison Break, very keenly might I add! We're down to the last few episodes!


Phew. I just returned from Hillsong Conference in Sydney, Australia, and wow, was it amazingly mindblowing!!!

I learnt some great stuff about God and got closer to him. Not only that, I managed to take some pretty spiffy photos too. I have spent about five hours loading them on to my computer, fixing them up a bit and submitting them! And this is all after a week's worth of getting up at 5:30a.m. and getting to bed at midnight or later! You'd think I'd want my bed. Well, yes, I do, but the thing is, I want to experience the joy of producing some good work even more....

I hope you enjoy them. Please give me a holler about anything Hillsong related, or Hillsong photography related, for that matter. Have a fantastic day!!!

These are all the things starting with the letter 'P' that I can't get enough of...

Penguins.

C'mon kids, admit it, they are cute as cute gets. I tried to draw a penguin in art, but it came out looking like a kiwi. It seems I have looked at too many New Zealand postcards in my lifetime.

Pandemonium

Ok, i don't really like pandemonium, except in a piece of art (not crowded, not complication, just a feeling of "everywhere-ness"...)
And it's hilarious to watch in real life... oh... and I just love the sound of it... 'pan-de-mo-ni-um.' Looove it.

Pinafores and petticoats

Old fashioned-sounding-and-looking clothes, anything vintage, anything with lace, anything I used to wear as a kid...

Photography/Photoshop

Gosh, I've found my calling. The idea of capturing a moment just blows my mind. I think to be a pro photographer would be my ideal career... think about it... travel, people, art, what could be better?

Poetry

Oh yes, now here is my other calling... apart from God's calling ofcourse. I have always loved words. And it's such an uncool thing these days... I always got teased for using long words, too many adjectives etc etc. My best friend and I used to write stories, and we were good at it, but sometimes I'd wish I was good at something like sport, which (in my opinion) is an "easy" talent to posess. All the sporty kids were cool, they knew where they stood, but I was always the little freak in the corner drawing or imagining or writing something. Hmmm...

Pedicures

Ok, I've never had one, but after all that nerdy/arty stuff I just wanted to sound like a dits....

Picnic bars

'Cept with braces they are a no-no. Grr, I hate you orthodontist man!!

Well well well well well.

Living in the southern hemisphere and want a beautiful Autumn experience: find your local park, and go to it at about, uh, say some time between three and six (golden time), and lie down and do nothing- just enjoy the crunchy leaves and the sunshine! Helps if there is sunshine, and not rain and slush (could be a challenge to find a day like this where I live, good old freezing Tasmania!)

I guarantee you won't be dissappointed.

I'm not afraid of colour
I'm not afraid of wearing the same thing twice in a row
I'm not afraid of spiders
Just think... they are butterflies who got sad and hairy and wingless.

I'm not afraid of liking different music
I'm not afraid of writing strange poetry, such as this
I'm not afraid of my faith
I'm not afraid of you knowing that I have some.

I'm not afraid of being called an amateur
We all have to start somewhere.
I'm not afraid of watching videos instead of DVD's
I'm not afraid of eating things that will make me fat.

I'm not afraid of... being afraid
That's the main thing, isn't it?
I'm not afraid of having experiences.
I'm not afraid of mucking up.
