Black lace. Agadoo anyone? Goodness me, no thanks! How terrible were Black Lace? LOL!
Finished, Complete, I can't believe I have actually reached the end to be honest.
Yes that really is 364 photos (4x6) stuck on my wall with bluetack, we had to more the whole room about.
Before I rabble on a bit I would like to thank every single person who has looked, liked, favourited (is that a word), mentioned, commented on my photos, without you I would have stopped as a good comment does loads for encouragement and a bit for your self esteem also :).
Thank you everyone who has been in the photos, helped me setting up the photos and have dealt with me talking about the project for the last year (I'm sorry if I have bored you that was not the intention I promise, Maria mostly x)
So 365 Days or most of the time..1 Year.
I have been meticulously taking photographs on every day for the past 365 days, No "If's or But's" ..every single day I have set made sure that a shot was taken within that 24 hours period.
It's been fun, hard, frustrating, addictive, enjoyable, stressful, enlightening, educational, satisfying and rewarding, just to name a few.
I have tried my upmost to keep the pictures to a decent standard, as what I didn't want was half-assed photos and a boring set.
Originally I starting this project without much thought of the implications it has, which I came to realise soon after but I'm not one to give up, I started it to throw me in the deep end as although always enjoying taking photographs I had never owned a SLR, so in November of last year (16/11/2011) I purchased my very first digital SLR in the form of a Canon 600D with the standard kit lens (18-55mm).
I found myself enjoying photography more and more, day by day and this project has really taught me things I don't think I would have learned in this amount of time otherwise.
And after returning from honeymoon I ordered a 7D which is a great great piece of kit I would strongly recommend, nothing wrong with the 600D just more options. (5D MKIII next would be nice, I xmas is coming lol)
A warning to anybody with a new SLR or thinking about getting into photography -IT IS ADDICTIVE- I'm not sure which drug you can compare it to but I'm sure it's similar.
I have found myself since buying this camera itching for another piece of equipment, and subsequently spending all my "spare" cash on such things (fiance and now wife gives my evil eyes at such times).
This is not to say I wouldn't whole heartedly recommend getting a SLR and perhaps even doing a 365 project as it a great thing to do with your time if you have it.
Will I do another?
I doubt it, but you never know. I think I will focus on different projects rather than repeating a 365.
What's next?
More competitions, working on my website and services more and taking up other projects to keep me thinking.
I hope you have enjoyed my 365, I know I have!
If you haven't looked through some of my pics, then please have a lil browse and see what you think, favourite or comment and I will take a browse too :).
Cheers!

Someone left a comment once... perhaps a few months ago
on one of my disquisitions about
human suffering:
" i don't think you should shoot the bad side of people
only the good side"
translated:
You are a voyeur, its bad art, why disgrace people. and who wants to look at human disease anyway?
Naive close-minded individuals who are fearful and see the world as dangerous should not look at my work.
they should join groups like FLOWERS or LANDSCAPES for that matter and avoid my work at all costs.
i do from time to time see this person favoring images.
So maybe this individual has come to their senses.
If you don't photograph the sick, the needy, those who have no way out of their plight, who will know about them?
and if we don't know about them,
in our minds
they dont exist
and if they don't exist
who will help them?
Im sorry to impose this shocking truism on those who live in
LA LA LAND......... but it is not
a ROSE COLORED world.
THERE IS.............
More suffering than enjoyment
More hatred than loving
more killing than curing
More fear then courage
more lying than truth
more dreaming than realization
more wars than peace
Without her hand behind his weary head
he will fall..................

Tuesay I went to the Ferguson Fawsitt with my lovely friend Rebekah, where we had their delicious chicken and bacon pie.
Then we went for a little walk to the pond to feed the ever so cute ducklings. Aww!
I have been so touched by the comments I have received from flickr people over the last couple of days.
My hope was that by telling my story it would help others to understand the illness a little or for those who are suffering/have suffered to not feel so alone.
From what I have heard from you it's working!
I am hoping to have some kind of online space for comments about the exhibition. When I've got something sorted I will let you know. Please do contact me if you'd be willing to let me add any of your comments, responses and thoughts to an exhibition logbook type thing - whether that's online or in print.
Many thanks to you all...
Experiments for an exhibition about a journey to recovery from anorexia.
I am working on 6 images of "illness" and 6 images of "recovery".
This exhibition is a big challenge for me but it is something I really want to do. So, I guess the first step is to post a few of my "works in progress" on flickr.
The exibition will be on show from 6th February in Brindley Place in Birmingham. Details to follow...

For the first time in so so long, I went back to Leeds First Friday!
It's moved venue as the Cosmopolitan Hotel has closed for refurbishment so it now kicks off in the Marriott. The venue is much better - bigger, more room, ore seating, more bar staff too.
They also have a huge mirror which was great for group shots - unfortunately, after this, the hotel deicded to put big advertising stickers on the mirror so you can't use it like that ny more. Ah well.
Was absolutely brilliant to meet up with friends I hadn't seen in so long! And make new ones too.
After the Marriott we went to Fibre then The Bridge then Smokestackc. It was an awesome night!
In the Marriott bar, a great new venue for LFF!

We had our annual September visit to Newcastle and had an amazing time once again! I just love that city, the people are so friendly and welcoming.
Day 2 we went for food at TGIs then on to Sgt Peppers and finally ended up in Rusty's where we met loads of lovely people as we always seem to do.
Ready to head out.

I’ve wanted to make some changes to the Toa Vihagu for a while now. I made a few changes in November/December of last year, but the bulk of modifications came in a two week stint before school started. The current updates are motivated by my possible displaying at BrickFair North Carolina next year, and if I’m going to be displaying these MOCs I want them to be as good as possible.
Which isn’t to say that I’ve made them as good as possible now. I’ve made some good progress, definitely but there’s still changes I intend to make between now and BFNC
.
Zerkah, the leader of the Vihagu, seemed as good a character as any to introduce the types of changes I’ve made (as you can see here, Jetera has changed very little.) He is, of course, based off the version I made in 2016, but with a few modifications:
*His torso now includes a more stable internal structure, based on Chrin’s. His lower torso is further filled in.
*The shells on his arms have been swapped.
*He now uses Jetera’s thigh design.
*He has a brand new pair of shins.
*The sockets on his feet have been swapped, and his feet have been further filled in.
*He now has a signature weapon, a battle-axe (which I designed last year.)
I originally wanted to remove the Mata red shells on his thighs in favor of Metru red ones, like I did with the forearms, but the size 5 shells were too small for his physique. Furthermore, he ended up looking very dull without the Mata red to brighten things up. I feel like I made a good compromise with swapping out his forearm plates, however. The “iron boot” that has been part of his design since V1 is now gone. Its final fate has not yet been determined – I think the concept adds to his character but I have yet to make a good-looking physical version.
I intend to further develop the shins and fill in most of the pinholes. I’d also like to give him a new head structure (namely one that has eyes).
Any comments and favs are very much appreciated

The last of the January photos. I've managed to catch up a bit over the last few days for a change - it is always so easy to fall behind and build up a backlog.
One of my current faves, this grey dress is simple but sexy. One of the first dresses to go in my suitcase if I'm going away for a weekend anywhere.
Speaking of which, I have to go and get ready now for a weekend in Birmingham. I hope you all have a great weekend too, whatever you are doing! xx

It was so good to be back in Lincoln for a weekend after missing it last year. We love Lincoln, it's such a beautiful city.
Saturday evening was just a fantastic evening! We got glammed up and went out looking for somewhere to eat - more difficult than normal because of booking restrictions. But we found a nice Vietnamese place.
After that we walked up steep hill - it is very very steep! - in our heels! That was a first and it actually wasn't too bad - much more difficult coming down, ha ha! And at the top we met a lovely group of girls.
The we went off to The Scene for the evening - it was lovely to be back there. First time we had heard loud music in a public place since pre-pandemic too so it was almost like the old days, although we did have to stay seated at our table.
Back at The Scene.

As shown in Berthold Headlines E3, 1982.
Embrionic was produced by Graphic Systems, a phototypesetting machine manufacturer whom I don’t yet know much about. This typeface saw a lot of use in the 1970s-80s but disappeared soon after. I know of two weights (55 and 85). This sample is the heavier of the two. Unfortunately not all the swash caps are shown in this Berthold specimen, but you can see more in this scan from a Zipatone catalog via Mark Simonson.
The lighter weight (55) was digitized by Mike Cina in 2008 as YWFT Agostina, though it’s not clear how closely it matches the original as there were apparently many alts. There is also a 2012 freeware digitization by Claude Pelletier of 55 Swash, 85, and 85 Swash. Neither of these revivalists mention their source.
Nick Curtis’ Cressida NF appears to be a multiline version of Embrionic, though his source was a face called “Triline”.

Sunday night we went to see our lovely and so talented friends Smooth Operator playing in Hedon.
We went for delicious food at the Camerton pub beforehand and even managed dessert before heading to see the gig.
Helen (the singer in Smooth Operator) even borrowed my Orinoco womble to wear while she was singing Wombling Merry Christmas, ha ha!

Thank you very much for the visit and comments. Cheers.
From a visit to the Oxley Creek Common. Oxley Creek Common is home to a remarkable variety of birds. An experienced observer can find as many as 70 species in one hour of observation during the spring â about 10% of all Australiaâs bird species and several times the diversity one could find walking the suburbs. In the past eleven years over 190 species have been recorded on the Common. (Source: University of Queensland)
Superb Fairy-wren
Scientific Name: Malurus cyaneus
Description: Adult male Superb Fairy-wrens are among the most brightly coloured of the species, especially during the breeding season. They have rich blue and black plumage above and on the throat. The belly is grey-white and the bill is black. Females and young birds are mostly brown above with a dull red-orange area around the eye and a brown bill. Females have a pale greenish gloss, absent in young birds, on the otherwise brown tail. The legs are brown in both sexes. Males from further inland and in the south-west of the range have more blue on the back and underparts.
Similar species: Several other species of fairy-wren are found in Australia. The males of each species are quite distinct, but the females and young birds are often difficult to separate. Of the species that overlap in range with the Superb Fairy-wren, the female White-winged Fairy-wren Malurus leucopterus and Red-backed Fairy-wren M. melanocephalus lacks the chestnut colour around the eye, while the female Variegated Fairy-wren M. lamberti has a dull grey-blue wash. Both the Superb and White-winged Fairy-wrens are similar in size. The Variegated Fairy-wren is slightly larger in size and has a longer tail.
Distribution: Superb Fairy-wrens are found south of the Tropic of Capricorn through eastern Australia and Tasmania to the south-eastern corner of South Australia.
Habitat: Seen in most habitat types where suitable dense cover and low shrubs occur. They are common in urban parks and gardens, and can be seen in small social groups. These groups normally consist of one dominant male and several females and young birds.
Feeding: Superb Fairy-wrens feed on insects and other small arthropods. These are caught mostly on the ground, but may also be taken from low bushes. Feeding takes place in small social groups.
Breeding: The nest is a dome-shaped structure of grasses and other fine material. It is usually placed in a low bush and is constructed by the female. The female incubates the eggs alone, but both sexes feed the young. Other members of the group will also help with the feeding of the young.
Male Superb Fairy-wrens have been labelled as 'the least faithful birds in the world'. Females may be courted by up to 13 males in half an hour, and 76% of young are sired by males from outside the social group.
Calls: The Superb Fairy-wren gives a series of high pitched trills, which are given by both sexes. The male often extends these trills into song.
Minimum Size: 13cm
Maximum Size: 14cm
Average size: 14cm
Average weight: 10g
Clutch Size: Three to four.
