277/365

So I've been feeling a bit down lately. A bit out of sorts - as you can probably tell from my 365s. But today (well, yesterday now) I went into the city with my flatmate. First - I bought this hat. I'd been looking for one for a couple months now and couldn't find one that suited me. But I liked this one, and then I looked at the price - $10 - yay! Then my friend wanted to go look at leather jackets - and I wanted a wallet, so we went to a leather store. I saw this orange leather jacket, and knew it was me. I hadn't even considered buying one, but I just had to try it on. It was perfect. It was so me. So - I had to buy it. (I can't believe I bought a bright orange leather jacket!!) She bought a great one too, so we decided it would be fun to go home and set up my lights and take some shots all dressed up. Before doing that, I decided to finish dying my hair. As soon as I did that, I realised that it was not the cut that I hated so much - but the colour. Once I dyed my hair, I really liked it. I think that the cut was so short, it cut out all my blond. I've never had anything but blond hair, and I hated the mousy brown of the roots. (My hair has obviously changed colour from the lack of sunlight - I was always blond even when I didn't dye my hair - and I've often put random highlights in over the last 10 years or so.)

 

So here is my first 365 since returning from PNG that I've actually used my tripod and remote. (Yes - it's been that long since I've been so uninspired.) And it's one of my favourite ever. I'll probably post a few more shots from this shoot because I really like quite a few of them - but I may make a little slideshow just for fun...
