Sleep?


I love sleep. If I could sleep all day I would. My mind never seems active during the day so it almost seems like a wasted idea. Sadly though, everybody else seems up when the day lights up, so I've also got to make some sort of presence.

Its now 4:24am, glancing at my clock. Before I sat down at this computer I spend 2 hours at the studio for a 10min shoot. Drank two pots of filter coffee, then another cup one my way home when I visited a fellow photographer. I've since spent the whole night trying to remember the English language while correcting other peoples articles. I suck at English, spelling, grammer, the whole lot. A bottle of coke and the Steve Wilko Show is keeping me company.

I've decided to post now since, well, I forgot that I created this blog, second, because I'm procrastinating, and third... I don't have a third reason. I'd like one. But I don't have one.

While procrastinating, in the darkness of night, my mind seems highly active, and I do some of the strangest things, like designing a vending machine.

Sigh. Simple fact, I need sleep, and being a Friday, I don't expect to have any. The corrections I'm doing now I'm sure will be amusingly wrong, but still far better than what I was originally given.

yeah, so check out the second issue of Exhibit when it goes online, and then mock my editing abilities. www.exhibitmag.co.za

The point?


So I'm trying to make my living as a photographer. Fun sometimes, frustrating other times. I've decided to document my days. Who knows, maybe it'll help somebody or inspire someone else?

Today was annoying, waking up early'ish with the left overs of a cold, to get to the studio on time for a shoot with a model, I ended up standing around waiting for someone that didn't pitch. I would have moaned a lot more if wasn't feeling creative. Luckly I havn't shot anything really intresting for a while so I decided to practice a few ideas.

Hence the the water drops falling into a pan of water...
