No.10
A continuation of the No.10, these six photographs were based on the subject of light. Just incase you can’t figure out what it is or to confirm your guesses. This is in fact the lovely curtains in my bedroom (well the one i’m renting for the year anyway). I like the texture of the fabric, and how adding a simple touch of sunlight transforms it completely. Hope you like it too.

Hi all, as promised here are some of the pics from my photography module in semester 1. These images as you will have probably recognized is from the same area as my previous post, it’s location is at the St Annes Cathedral Quarter in Belfast. The module hand in consisted of a video essay, themed images of light, composition, pin hole and Barbra Kruger. These as you can guess are my composition ones, but as to not bombard you with a whole pile of images, i’ll upload each theme a day this week. Let me know what you think. ^_^

These photos are of the Cathedral Quarter of Belfast (just around the corner from university ulster in Belfast) The lighting although artificial was very surrealistic and made the building more prominent, compared to the shots that i took up for my photography module in my course (which will be what i’m going to post up so look forward to it.)
Give me some Willpower
Lacking a bit of will power to finish that last project? A bit of procrastination? On twitter or facebook all the time? Well if your like me and get distracted “SELF CONTROL” might be the solution that you’ve been looking to actually get some work done.
Self control is a application program (that’s FREE ^_^) that basically sets a timer on specified items to prevent you from using it for the said duration. It was created while at Eyebeam Center for Art and Technology. Free Software under the GPL. Sourcecode on Github, and ticket system on the eyebeam dev site.
It’s a bit of a harsh application, as once the timer starts there’s no way to stop it, not even restarting your computer, but sometimes you have to be mean to be nice.
The app works in the basis of earning the privilege of using those sites sort of like when you were a little kid and your mum gave you a treat after you finished your homework or tidying your room. Which some of you may turn up your nose and think it’s a bit childish but why not? It’ll feel better getting rewarded for all the hard work you’ve done. That being said, the app isn’t exactly a guarantee that you’ll get work done, as there are many other things that can distract you but this will eliminate one of the main ones, and give you a better chance of allowing you to do things you normally wouldn’t.
Special thanks to May Chung who first told me about this app.
Quick Catch Up
Hello all hope you’re all good, anyway back to the topic of conversation reflecting on my blog content i found that all i’ve been doing recently is just posting up my work so this week i’ll try to squeeze a few reviews on other people’s work and interesting things i found…(well what i found on other people’s blogs ^_^) Along with that i’ll try to comment a bit more both on my own work and others. Well that’s my plan anyway will just have to see what happens.
No.10
Well as you can see these photos weren’t taken recently, was backing up my files yesterday when i came across these, (be glad you didn’t have to go through all of them, got a bit shutter friendly) Anyway i couldn’t just pick 10 so here’s 25 ^_^ as you can tell i was in Egypt, the photos are mainly the general touristy locations such as the pyramid in cairo, the karnack temple, Hatshepsut’s temple etc. Nothing you haven’t seen before, but take a looksie and i hope you enjoy.
