Don't be afraid. Just have faith. - Mark 5:36

I loved this passage once I found it yesterday, and now it seemed relevant to today...
I encourage people to read it...

My mind is all over the place so stoked I can sleep in tomorrow...
I also got a tripod today, mum and dad bought it for me and its so cool to be given a random gift...

anyways dont know what to say tonight, pretty excited about some things!

Awoo!

these are kristian shoes, today was a very nice day, so many things are working out in my life currently and i just wanna keep them close and so many things arent but the positives outweigh the negatives...

I've been re-looking at dustin diaz's photostream, he is just so amzing, i really wanna try strobist stuff and set up a studio somehow, I feel my imagination is so limited to my gear...

anyways...today alot of good stuff went down :)

I've just been sorting through all my photos that I took today. From LFC practice and chillin' at camerons house, ill definately have to put up some more photos on Flickr of todays events.

So i had my first photoshoot today with lorraine who is a singer, songwriter and pianists which was really fun...

And then tonight I went for a walk all rugged up cos its freezing and windy as...

So i couldnt setup a camera box tripod... lol

Im going to upload a few other photos, but this one was my favourite as i setup the camera on self timer and walked away a car stared down the road and i was like bam that sucks, so then it all worked out really well i was really stoked on it...
