So I have been addicted to the hunger games books lately and I really liked Cinna's outfits for Katniss in the books so I wanted to try to replicate one. Well it didn't turned out exactly how I wanted but I've been working on the photo for so long that I just can't work on it any longer so here you go! Hope you enjoy. And yes I know. I'm way behind on my project. I blame this photo for that.

shot for an assignment based photo blog called this is a photo blog (dot com). this month was "film as inspiration" so i chose "the hunger" which uses a lot of mini blinds and really shadowy light. i originally wanted to use a really cold blue palette but when i saw the warm version of this photo, i ended up liking it much more and it started reminding me of blade runner as well.
the quality isn't what i am used to as this was shot on the second level and the light source was a gas station a block away so it was super weak light and i had to shoot at 2 seconds at iso 1600 and so there is bad digital grain and motion blur on top of it but to recreate that light i would have needed to get on the roof of the grocery store across the way which i may end up doing since i like this and want a better quality version to use for my book but this will do for now.
Thankful for the LOVE from my friends & family and most of all that my Dad is still with us this Canadian Thanksgiving holiday.
"When Christ said that man does not live by bread alone, he spoke of a hunger. This hunger was not the hunger of the body. It was not the hunger for bread. He spoke of a hunger that begins deep down in the very depths of our being. He spoke of a need as vital as breath. He spoke of our hunger for love.
Love is something you and I must have. We must have it because our spirit feeds upon it. We must have it because without it we become weak and faint. Without love our self-esteem weakens. Without it our courage fails. Without love we can no longer look out confidently at the world...
But with love, we are creative. With it, we march tirelessly. With it, and with it alone, we are able to sacrifice for others"
Chief Dan George
I heard this long before I saw it .. The frog was squealing more than croaking ... The ambitious snake had pretty much swallowed one of the frogs legs . I watched the struggle for awhile before I took this shot . When I tried to get even closer the snake abruptly let go his hold and the frog hopped away happy I'm sure as the snake slithered off mad and hungry . Nature at it's finest .
“Hunger, love, pain, fear are some of those inner forces which rule the individual's instinct for self preservation.”
Albert Einstein
Mattel’s Hunger Game Katniss comes with uncured glue inside the head. It is a waxy, sticky substance that causes the hair to look greasy when the original style is taken out of the braid. No amount of sudsing will remove the sticky film. The only solution is to reroot the head. Note: This doll was rerooted twice because even though a thorough cleaning was performed the glue and stickiness is so pervasive the head required a second thorough cleaning.
I'm not sure if it's 'Hunger' in the hand, but at least it's Knuth Hamsun book. I've read 'Hunger' for the first time in my eighteen or so and it was like a shock for me. I almost felt the same the hero felt except that it was Leningrad around, not Oslo and I wasn't in such a bad conditions. However, it was a pure magic. Many times I was returning to this novel and every time I felt again the same immersion, may be just not so intense. Still it's my favourite book by Hamsun, though possible it's not his best.

The subject of this Picture of the Week, a spiral galaxy named NGC 1589, was once the scene of a violent bout of cosmic hunger pangs; as astronomers looked on, a poor, hapless star was torn apart and devoured by the ravenous supermassive black hole at the centre of the galaxy.
