Flickr frippery

Well its been a while since ive written on here, YES im still alive - very busy but still alive!

things that have annoyed me resently are, i produce good work and i still dont get noticed on flickr! i dont get it!!! but theres worse that can happen in life

another thing to bug me is - my lecturer fraser never helpful even though he tutors me for everything! GRR lol but i have to admit ive progressed alot with my work this year, my studio work is getting alot better.

Mark has been recently and i advise you to look at me and Marks blog, http://www.markandbeckynorthcott.blogspot.com so you can read up on our "adventures" the main event we had was my studio final project, i have 3 shoots and they are meant to be using a specific discipline from this years work. IE Portraits, studio, digital manipulation, fashion ETC so ive sorta decided to combine them and add to them, My studio work has let me down recently so i wanted to enhance and improve my studio and use a strength to get furthur.

i havnt heard from alot of people recently so please write me and let me know HOW THE HECK YOUR DOIN! im gonna try blog a bit more often. so you can all keep up with what im doing...

MEMORIES...

Well, memories rush back to me - right back to when i was like 6-7 and i dressed up as a blue haired witch i wanted to look like grotbags but it wasnt happening!!! i sitll had fun and i member mum came and danced with me at the school disco hehe

i always loved the cold nights, along with the warm food, and family get togethers of halloween and bonfire night. im sad they dont happen anymore but i remember them fondly and i loved them, even if my aunty was cooking peas pudding URGH but we also had toffee apples and hard candy that cracked our teeth oh and the pies ummmm in the contrast of the bitter cold, while eating piping hot food in one hand and a sparkler in the other...watching the fireworks it was something i deeply loved! i cant wait till i have my own family so we can make it a special time! i love times like this...

so tonight im going to the YSA dance in leeds and YES im dressing up and im gonna be able to see ALLLLL my friends, emma maureen charlene, laura, mark, chris, kate, ooh hopefully all of em!

i am so tired though! University is really demanding alot of my time, but i know i am also weirdly enough enjoying it, id probably give out on something by now if it was any other subject but this keeps me interested, we looked at medium format minolas today - and theres amazing i guessed the lens would be about 80mm but tis not it was 75mm so i wasnt too far off....

i did get to make some business cards for myself and so i will be able to distribute them, and FOR FREE! only had to pay postage. anyway the main duties or assignments i have right now as it stands are :-

*Producing a folder full of professional study work.
*Writing a 2000 work essay and presenting an oral debate on 6 images over the past 200 years (should be interesting!)
*Completing my Retro Fashion modules especially the scrapbook (i sooo need to get on with that!!!)
*Learning to use photoshop EFFECTIVELY!

so there you go...hope your ALL having a great time right now even though its colder than a witches bit! hehe look after yourselves BEX

i am actually really enjoying the lectures! i sat in expecting to be there while i fall asleep but they are brilliant im taught in visuals and thats how i always wanted to be taught, my tutors make it really interesting for me!

Last week the best lecture was on professional studies and we learned about SWOT assessment, we did one on ourselves - comprising of our STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS - i really thought it was good for me! so yeah that was a good session...now im busting my butt to get my essay done and all the work included for my retro film and fashion module! :D i am enjoying it, i could see the elements are coming together! and i just enjoyed taking one of my fave films "footloose" into a remake of my own imagination at a church dance HOW FUN! thank you to BEN and JAMES for ALL there help without you i couldnt of done it!!! :D

apart from that in my life, if you read my last Blog i have a wonderful guy beside me! we are growing everyday he loves me for being ME, i can make mistakes and he still loves me!!! how amazing is that?! plus he thinks im like the most beautiful person on this planet! i love you markie!! he really has supported me, its like i have to tell him everything about my day less i get upset...maybe im crazy, and maybe ive lost it but i am IN LOVE! :D and that love is returned...

hope your all doing well...drop me a line ill try my hardest to keep in touch with you ppl! :D LOVE BEX

bexie and markie, originally uploaded by Glam_2006.

Who thought id get a guy like him?? he is so precious to me! his name is Mark Gregory Northcott and i love him to bits we are so much alike its very scary! he makes me laugh like no other and he is just a shining light to make me wasnt to be better, his eyes are beautiful and he makes me feel like a princess, as you all probably know im not very public about guys but i wanted to let you all know about him. its been a bout a month when we first started to chat, we are so deep in friendship hes deffinately my one in a million, i cant imagine being with anyone else!!! we just fit so well. its deffinately early days but im not someone to rush into anything anyway!! :D i hope you all get to meet him soon. hes 6,6 yes tall, but it always comes under the tall dark and handsome type ;)

main similarities - we think alike in everything, we have similar goals, we work hard, we like to look good, we love to talk, we used to be shy at school, we both love family, we both want to be the best we can for each other. i just cant wait till he comes to UK ok for anyone who thinks HES NOT FROM UK URS NUTS! i dont care...i dont give my love out like sweets.

other than that! im in uni now in full swing...the lectures start tommorow my main task (another thing marks good at HELPING ME!) but i have to film a segment of a retro film from the past...oooh goodie...but i can say im enjoying it even though ive never been so brain dead for ideas. i am looking forward to the tetley competition and also the retro fashion module! :D

institute is same as ever, and im taking all the photos of STUDENTS AND YSA so if you all see me with my camera dont ask questions just smile and let me take a photo okies?? hehe anyway guys im shattered and ill update you all with more when my brain actually has capacity to join sentences.

Perhaps Love...

I was at Sarah and Steven Smith's wedding and they had the musical item a song ive NEVER heard but i nearly got teared up with it...here are the following lyrics i heard i was touched by it! hope you like it too!

PERHAPS LOVE

Perhaps love is like a resting place

A shelter from the storm

It exists to give you comfort

It is there to keep you warm

And in those times of trouble

When you are most alone

The memory of love will bring you home

Perhaps love is like a window

Perhaps an open door

It invites you to come closer

It wants to show you more

And even if you lose yourself

And don't know what to do

The memory of love will see you through

Oh, Love to some is like a cloud

To some as strong as steel

For some a way of living

For some a way to feel

And some say love is holding on

And some say letting go

And some say love is everything

And some say they don't know

Perhaps love is like the ocean

Full of conflict, full of pain

Like a fire when it's cold outside

Thunder when it rains

If I should live forever

And all my dreams come true

My memories of love will be of you

And some say love is holding on

And some say letting go

And some say love is everything

Some say they don't know

Perhaps love is like the ocean

Full of conflict, full of pain

Like a fire when it's cold outside

Or thunder when it rains

If I should live forever

And all my dreams come true

My memories of love will be of you

Appreciate the Small things...

Babies...
Are truly beautiful i took this photo last week, and appreciate the pure joy babies have from the love of their parents, i love seeing babies and toddlers smile, they are happy with small and simple things.

Things going right...
Im always thankful when the small choices you make in a day really effect you and when they go right thats even better

Nature...
even small birds chirping, sunrises, and morning breeze can make me happy, jsut small things God has put on the earth fo us to enjoy

YES i love the small things! 

Best friends...

CAMP MEMORIES...
we brought mum and Roxy back home from camp, and i have fond memories of those camp years, so much preparation so much love and care! i always loved the testimony meetings, it was like a safe haven for us all being together as YW sharing experiences and growing in the Gospel!

FRIENDS 'R' US...
I was blessed to meet all sorts of new people on camp the list is endless...
Sarah Smith aka Ducker
Charlene Kendall
Ashley Zirman
John Williams
Naomi Makins aka Simcock
Becky Bray aka ONeil

thats JUST to name a few...i loved being there even if flies where in our tent and none of us didnt look too glamourous! but it didnt matter we cared about each other, i felt the spirit when i visited the site. it truely is a time when you can come together. i really miss that Camp atmosphere...

I need SLEEP...
But all in all the most rewarding thing when i got back the thing i missed most coming off camp MY BED! id do so much my head pounded! so thanks roxy for posing for me :D

i hope everyone had a good experience of camp as i did....sure i was sick 2 years in a row, sure i got home sick, sure i clung to dad the first year...but by the end i was begging to come back.

Think about it...

Sarah and steven smith wedding (31), originally uploaded by Glam_2006.

i love close up photos from weddings, i think most of the time people forget to take the detail...

The Beading...
The intricate beading can symbollize each trial and problem we have will add to our beauty over a long period of time

The Knot...
To signify our commitment, faithfulness

The Hand...
Support and comfort from your companion

The Ring...
Crisp and Clear on the finger, to shine as an example of promise and love

The White...
To show virtue and cleanliness and new begginings

i guess you could interpret it your own way! but thats why i like the photo!
