* Christmas Lights *

Hello,

As christmas is approaching and we are in the festive season, I have decided to share this photo of my friend wrapped in christmas lights. A little fun we had while putting up the christmas tree last night. Once the tree is completed, I shall take a few shots and post them, but for now, here are some christmas lights.

Trash or Treasure?

Hello,

Well, on my way back home I spotted this old broken down truck and thought it was cool. The rust, missing pieces and it's 'antique' look. If only I had my proper camera and time, I would probably gotten cooler shots of it...anyways, here is an idea.

We will make it all about us...

All about us - He is We ft. Owl City

Take my hand, I’ll teach you to dance.
I’ll spin you around, won’t let you fall down.
Would you let me lead, you can step on my feet.
Give it a try, it’ll be alright.

The room’s hush, hush,
And now’s our moment.
Take it in feel it all and hold it.
Eyes on you, eyes on me.
We’re doing this right.

Cause lovers dance when they’re feeling in love.
Spotlight shining, it’s all about us.
It’s oh, oh, oh, oh, all about uh, uh, uh, uh, us.
And every heart in the room will melt,
This is a feeling I’ve never felt but,
It’s oh, oh, all about us.

Suddenly, I’m feeling brave.
Don’t know what’s got into me,
Why I feel this way.
Can we dance, real slow?
Can I hold you, real close?

The room’s hush, hush,
And now’s our moment.
Take it in feel it all and hold it.
Eyes on you, eyes on me.
We’re doing this right.

Cause lovers dance when they’re feeling in love.
Spotlight shining, it’s all about us.
It’s oh, oh, oh, oh, all about uh, uh, uh, uh, us.
And every heart in the room will melt,
This is a feeling I’ve never felt but,
It’s oh, oh, all about us.

Do you hear that love?
They’re playing our song.
Do you think we’re ready?
Oh I’m really feeling it.
Do you hear that love?
Do you hear that love?

Do you hear that love?
They’re playing our song.
Do you think we’re ready yet?
Love I’m really feeling it.
Do you hear that love?
Do you hear that love?

Do you hear that love?
They’re playing our song.
Do you think we’re ready yet?
Love I’m really feeling it.
Do you hear that love?
Do you hear that love?

Lovers dance when they’re feeling in love.
Spotlight shining, it’s all about us.
It’s all, all, all, all.
Every heart in the room will melt,
This is a feeling I’ve never felt, but
It’s all, all about us.

Cause lovers dance when they’re feeling in love.
Spotlight shining, it’s all about us.
It’s oh, oh, oh, oh, all about uh, uh, uh, uh, us.
(hey-ey hey)
And every heart in the room will melt,
This is a feeling I’ve never felt but,
It’s oh, oh, all,
It’s all about us.

The video is as beautiful as the song. See it here!

§! -- Mylo Xyloto -- !§


Hello,

Today I decided to post my own cover of Coldplay's new album Mylo Xyloto cause today has been a Coldplay day on my playlist. The more I listen to them, the more I love their songs and the more I remember their show. My favourite songs from this album are: Charlie Brown, Every Teardrop a Waterfall, Hurts like Heaven, Paradise, U.F.O. and Up in Flames. For all you Coldplay fans out there that want your own CD covers, try it out!

It is a Secret!





Hello,

Last night, boredom and mass procrastination got the best of me. With that I decided to take pictures of random objects I could find around me and decided on my glasses (shades) and a lock. I have a mild obsession for glasses and always seem to be adding to my collection. I own 2 brand glasses and the others are just cool like that :P The lock on the other hand is an ordinary lock to which I have misplaced the keys to open it and am too lazy to look for them anyway - oh well! I love how the details of the lock have come out and how the textures are reflected...amazing stuff. From the shades, the best picture is of my 3 pairs: red, blue and green that have the same shape, wanna-be same brand and bold colours!

"Love is not a maybe thing, you know when you love someone" - Lauren Conrad

Edwin McCain  -  I'll be

The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath.
And emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky
Never revealing their depth.
Tell me that we belong together,
Dress it up with the trappings of love.
I'll be captivated,
I'll hang from your lips,
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above.

[Chorus:]
I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

And rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed.
You're my survival, you're my living proof.
My love is alive -- not dead.
Tell me that we belong together.
Dress it up with the trappings of love.
I'll be captivated,
I'll hang from your lips,
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

[Chorus]

And I've dropped out, I've burned up, I've fought my way back from the dead.
I've tuned in, turned on, remembered the things that you said

[Chorus:]
I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your...
I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

The greatest fan of your life.
...greatest fan of your life.

"Nothing matters more than life and the love you make" - Coldplay

Hello,

Recently, I was lucky enough to watch Coldplay perform live in Johannesburg, South Africa and managed to take some pictures during the show. I have been a Coldplay fan for a while and love their music. Watching them live was amazing and life changing. Like Hans Erskog once told his daughter who then preached it to me (somewhere along these lines) "You get BC and AC - before Coldplay and after Coldplay" I am proud and happy to say I now live in AC, with the thousands of other fans that watched their show around the world! The songs that touched my heart were: Fix You, Viva la Vida, The Hardest Part, Lost, Clocks, Life in Technicolour, The Scientist, Speed of Sound, Wait for me and their new hit, which the Jo'burg show features in, Paradise!!! It was an unforgettable experience and cannot wait for another opportunity to watch them live again.

There are just too many pictures to display them all individually, so I have made collages with the best shots I got. Hope you love the pictures as much as I do

xoxo

 The fireworks at the beginning and end of the show!


Para - Para - Paradise, Para - Para - Paradise!

Hello,

Here are more pictures I took of Andrea, only this time, I decided to edit them more than what I normally do. Since her outfit is not seen in all the pictures, I shall tell you what she was wearing - her outfit was made up of a loose black blouse, mini jean shorts, heels and jewellery.

Top Shots!








Hello

From all I pictures I took of Dee, these were my favourites!

xoxo

Pose for the camera: now --> click--click--click








Hello

Well, it has been a long time since I last posted something. In this time of absence, I have been taking photos and learning a lot from friends and research i've done. I was invited by my friend Fiona to take pictures of our friend Dee who needed a portfolio for her modelling. It was a lot of fun doing the photo shoot and it allowed me to learn a lot of things about taking photos, common mistakes I make and how to criticise pictures and what is considered a good photo. With Dee's permission, here are some photos that i took of her and slightly edited :) Hope you like them as much as I do!

Summer is coming :)


Hello

Today the tables are turning once again as I am posting a picture of myself taken y someone else. This is a look I tried for the first time and really liked it - with all the compliments I got. I love the mix of the skirt and the jacket, the colours and just how everything fits together. Summer is coming my way and it's time to start wearing the bright and beautiful colours.

"The best colour in the whole world is the one that looks good on you" - Coco Chanel

Hello,

These pictures I took are one of my favourite I have taken of Mikaela. Here, she wears an old green dress that still looks as good as new. The design of the dress is very old school yet, with the right accessories, it can still be a hit today. The material of this dress is amazing and the bold green colour of the dress is very vibrant. Definitely love this one, <3, hope you do too!
