Instagram!!!!!

So, you can now get Instagram on Android phones. Naturally I downloaded it and now I'm obsessed with it. It is a fun little tool to work with. This is a selection of the photos I have taken using it so far:

1. I got it while in Sheffield this week and was playing with it. This was taken stood waiting fro the tram to take us back to Ciaran's flat.
2. Bored at Ciaran's flat, playing with light and glass. The only nice Glass to hand? My joke Christmas present from my sister :D

3. A photo I already had on my phone, cropped and edited with Instagram.

4. On my way to/from work there are lots of trees that are still blooming so I've been taking as many photos as I can. This has been adding an extra 10mins to my walk home!
5. Playing with the effects Instagram has.

6. Bored waiting for my train to work. I take photos a lot when I'm bored.

7/8/9. On journey to/from work

10/11/12.  On journey to/from work  

13/14/15. Books! :D

Will update again as soon as I can! I've got a weeks holiday next week which includes a trip to Newcastle to see friends, I will have my camera! As in my proper camera.

Also you can find my under MidnightTopaz on Instagram! If anyone else has Instagram, let me know, I'd love to have a look! :D

Frosty

A cold and somewhat frosty day(mostly de-frosted by the time we went out lol) today but a good day for a walk.

We went to Happy Valley and had a good 2 hour walk, cutting through Bramhall Park on the way back home. None of these photos are from Bramhall Park though, for a change.

It was a good walk, I spent most of it talking to my dad about my life. Well, what I'm going to do about my life this year. There isn't something specific that I am good at. I like lots of things: Photography, Writing, Drawing and Illustration. So the plan is to push forward with them, enter competitions for photography and writing. Use contacts to get involve with people who might be able to offer me advice about doing Children's picture books. Do more work in all these areas.

I was thinking about going back to college but Stockport College are useless in getting back in contact with me and it was only an A level. I could do a Nation Diploma Level 3 part time but its in Didsbury at Manchester college's campus. But! I still don't know If I want my career to be photography. The problem I have is a lot of people can do what I can and I need to push myself out there. Show myself to people and make contacts.

There might be some promise for next year but I have to start now to push forward this year. I'm going to work hard on Cross and Pike, and create the children's picture books I want to make even if its just to see if I can. I want to take as many photos and improve as much as possible on my own.

I dunno when the next lot of photos will be up, got a lot to think about and need to split my time between everything. I do hope to organise some shoots soon
