a girl without a hat
A different camera this time.
So as you might have noticed Thursday night was turning out to be a rather large boost to both my ego and confidence not a bad thing because I have been a bit down about Helen just recently she seems to have fallen into a something of a rut.
Anyway it seems maybe I can have a life that doesn't revolve around just our scene!
That's another project for the future.
OK so where was I?
Oh yeah I remember, As I entered the venue I looked around to see who was about and my gaze met Emily's she came over said hi gave me a hug and invited me to join her. I declined as I wanted to see the exhibition so said I would catch up later.
well I thought it would it wouldn't take long to look around but how wrong was I.
Some of the work was frankly astounding with well thought out ideas and stunning photography some on the other hand were just photos. I found Emily's project and very well done it was. the theme being Trans and Trains yep as simple as it sound and handled very well.
As I walked around I got talking to a number of people about their work and really enjoyed the interaction. At one point I was looking a set of photos of young kids dresses as the would be in the future. one as builder another as a nurse and another as a single mum complete with baby and so . it was a great concept and as I stood smiling at the images a young lad stood besides me and started to talking to me. I assumed it was his work but it wasn't . towards the end of our chat he said " nice dress you look great" Yay another compliment how much more could I take. as it goes that was the last one but I got a few positive looks and smiles from people. so time had pushed on so I decided to find the girls and headed for the door to leave. Just at that point a young girl with a foreign accent came upto me and asked if she could interview me (WHY ME all these people about and she grabs me) so of course being a sky kind of girl I said no.......Yeah as if I would say no lol
A few moments later I was all wired for sound and standing infront of a camera with two lads and the girl infront of me. I asked her what she wanted what she might ask and the poor thing didn't really know, so I suggested I would adlib. Half an hour later and after me spouting a lot of nonsense about photography being the new artist medium and drawing comparisons between some of the work shown and the way they reflect the style of the old master I thanked them had a little chat and headed out to once again find the girls.
Sadly by this point the girls had moved on. some to soho, some back home,
and some heaven knows where. so I headed back to my car not before having a drink and yet two more compliments.
I really enjoyed the evening just being me and being accepted as me with no fuse made at all. it was a shame to have missed my friends but in a way I am glad I did for I wouldn't have had such a great experience.
