I have a tendency to overdo the post-processing, so I'm ending my 52 Weeks with a simple one. Alice inspired me!
This project was FUN! It was just the right pace - I definitely lack the discipline for 365 - and I've challenged myself with plenty of new techniques and learnt a lot. Hurrah!
The dog days of summer are finally here. If we don't get him up and moving early in the day he will sleep the day away. We discovered a new path along the lake yesterday and managed to get in a good walk before it got too hot. I could not convince him to go swimming, but he did do a bit of wading.
I can’t see the beauty around me.
difficulties to get up every morning.
tired.
unmotivated.
studying.
not enough.
stress.
desperation.
frustration.
exhaustion.
late.
bad mood.
insufficient.
panic.
and that was week thirty
= the week I couldn’t think of anything but my exams
[april 5 - 11, 2010]
and sometimes I feel like doing what I want.
but I can’t. at least not for now. I have 7 exams in march, is this ever going to end?
in fact, it is. in nineteen weeks school will finally be over for good. I cannot wait.
but for now, I’ll just try to take care of all my responsibilities, while the fear of my a-levels is eating me up.
London, because I’ll be going there in summer. after school is over. yesyesyesyesyes.

I'm starting a new project, the 52 weeks! I'll upload one photo each week in one year and I'll only post them on facebook, so stay tuned! I'm so happy and I hope I can finish this one.
I hope you like it :)

will make it on her own
so this is it, the end of a project that has lasted for a whole year.
during the past fifty two weeks, I believe I have come closer to the person I am supposed to be. when I started this project, I was afraid of what would come next and at the same time I wanted to remember every single moment of it.
my last year of school began and I have never been as stressed before. I have never slept as little before and I have never wanted to give up as many times before. when I look back now, I see all I have been feeling in the pictures I took for every week of that year. I see despair and loneliness, but at the same time joy and feeling safe.
during the first thirty weeks school took over my life and I hardly had time for anything else. but at some point, I had survived my a-levels and the stress was over for at least a bit. I could finally spend time with friends again and relax, only to get drawn back by new exams and tests a few weeks later. a last stressful phase began and in week forty one, everything was over. everything I feared when I started this project was suddenly over and I was the happiest I have ever been. I could finally concentrate on other things, I made new friends, and although there have been bad and unproductive days too, this summer was the best one I ever had.
and now I am almost where I have been last year: I am afraid. afraid of what the future will bring. afraid of letting go everything that was, afraid of things changing and friends leaving. but there is this little difference. I have learned a lot during the past year and I believe that this project has helped me appreciate everything I have and that is what makes accepting changes easier for me now.
in some respects I know exactly what I want, and then again I have no idea whatsoever. and that is okay as it is.
the past year also made me realize where I want to go with my photos. I have started to take film photos and I took a picture a day for one hundred days of my summer. all that, and most of all the photos I took for this project, made me realize that I want them to be memories. when I look at all the pictures I’ve taken during the past fifty two weeks, I see that I have done something right. because they make me feel and they mean the world to me. and that is all I wanted to achieve when I started this project.
I hope at least some of them also mean something to all of you guys out there who are viewing and commenting and favouriting my photos. and I just want to say thank you for always being here and looking at what I wanted to express. thank you so very much.
right now I don’t know what will come next, but I know that I have a whole new life ahead of me.
and I know that I want to develop. I want to change. I want to make it on my own.

Week 8
Title: Hands
52 Weeks of 2023
Took my DSLR out of its case for the first time in ages. I had almost forgotten how to use it, but through trial and error it started to come back to me... Also, tricky taking a hand selfie and tried with a variety of props, but decided on this one with glass of water (half full). This was taken indoors with natural light coming though venetian blinds.
Week 10's theme was "Rough" and this is my old ratty 61 year old Lambretta sitting in the garden in the same spot for the best part of 2 years.
Again, shot in IR 850nm and very much a snap as opposed to a decent photo. But it meets the weeks challenge and so I'm happy.
Enjoying the View

Slowly catching back up on my 52 week project. I'm back out of town again this weekend but I'll try and post while away if I can and I'll catch up on streams when I get back. Have a great weekend everyone
this is what you get from trying to be disciplined.
last night I wrote down everything that is bothering me right now. I made paper cranes out of the sheets.
school is taking over my life. all I've been doing is studying. on monday and tuesday for my spanish exam on wednesday. on wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday and today for the four exams I have next week. four exams. and I feel so unprepared.
I made a list of things I wanted to do/not do this week.
1. not be on the computer till 7:30pm (except for checking my mails and looking up information for school work).
2. do sports.
3. study in time.
4. do my homework.
5. stop biting my nails.
1. I only broke this rule two times. I'm proud of myself for staying away from the computer and not getting distracted. I will probably do the same thing next week.
2. I did.
3. almost. I feel like it isn't even possible to study in time.
4. yes. there hasn't been much, but I did it. except for the things I had to take care of over the weekend. I do not have time for that.
5. I did. I hope I finally stopped perennially.
I don’t have any free time. I feel guilty when I take pictures, because concerning school it is wasted time. I think it isn’t, but I can’t help myself. there are 9 days left until I have a break from school. 9 days and 6 exams. I wonder what I have done to deserve this. I am exhausted. I may say this often, but it’s the truth. I want this to end.
my hair is not as dark as it looks like in these pictures.

Week#152
A new crop for this photo, as recommended by Jerry Van Dyk. I do like it much better. Thanks, Jerry.
barcelona. the sun is bright. a shop window dominates the street. it is an advertisement. "blue weeks," it shouts in large letters. a man walks by. he ignores the sign. yet he is part of it. he wears a blue jacket. blue jeans. blue sneakers. a blue backpack. perhaps it is a coincidence. perhaps the city agreed on a color today. for a fraction of a second, the passerby and the poster become one. reality matches the artificial image. a fleeting moment of perfect order.

I'm so behind on the week topics.
I unfortunately got sick and was in quarantine for a while.
I'm good now but am playing catch up with all the things I had to put on pause while I got better.
Still playing catch up...but I'm determined to chip my way back to current. <3
Today I was reminded that the cycle of giving and receiving love is so much bigger than what's going on in your head.
Allow for that shit.
Week 6/52
I'm back at it. I'd write more about this image, but I have a whole blog post pertaining to this and life in general over here. This is actually last week's image, keep on the lookout for this week's super simple one.
My bestfriend (the one in this picture) gave birth to a cutie baby boy.. and I have a new puppy on my own.. basically full of love for the last few weeks on my end.. and busy scooping poops and wiping pees 😄.. i hope everyone is safe and healthy.. i cant promise to catch up here but i will try..
Explored!
Week 42/52
The Fall and the Winter are never easy on me. They're the time when everything always seems to go wrong, when I go down the drain, when I slide into bed and don't have the will to come out until it's warm outside, again. That's a little of what this shot is about.
The dark seasons, as I call them, are isolating. The rain keeps you inside, the cold makes you get into a thousand pieces of clothing and you feel stuffed, constrained. There's none of that freedom from the Summer. There's no hope, no reason to wait for anything. For me, it's excruciating.
I'm trying to turn it around, though. I'm trying to enjoy the Fall, I'm getting excited about my trip to England in December, I'm actually enjoying making pies and jams and sweets. I'm trying to fight it. But at the same time, I feel like I have to fight off my demons — and this is how I do it. It's just so I don't wake up in the middle of the night, my chest clad in that anxiety that makes me want to scream; it's just so I don't let the darkness get the best of me and run away with my thoughts and my smile; it's just so I don't succumb to the coldness outside. Because that's all I ask for the months to come: that they allow me to keep my head above the surface.

After weeks of unseasonably hot and dry weather (thanks to climate change I assume) trees are budding and flowering.
My 365-2022: #45 of 365
hi there. i finally developed a roll of film :)
how's the pandemic treating you? i've been growing out my natural hair since the beginning. 9 months later, this virus is worse than when it started and i'm almost a brand new person. ;)
i have been very safe and remained healthy. i was tested last week after not feeling well for a few days, but it was only a cold. i was negative. however, i have spoken with many people who have not been so lucky.
be well. stay home. take care of yourself.
we will survive.
So I'd taken this already but forgotton and have been getting behind in my shot a week!
A take on a common shot but wanting to use some natural light from the patio doors to cast a smooth diffuse shadow to one side too. Hope you like.
Shot on a Panasonic G3 converted for infrared photography, processed in Lightroom and Silver Efex.
