we are basic lies

but the grey in this city is too much to bear
the grey in this city is too much to bear
and I believe you are meant to be seen but not to be understood

time to do a tag
as per, I owe a very overdue set of facts (though I highly doubt they're read..?) so her goes:
1. this is boring. it's mediocre and probably not worth uploading. I really need to get back into taking photos; exams and revision and the sheer volume of work recently have pretty much stopped me from getting out and being imaginative
2. the weather is beautiful. it's so icy and frosty with yellow sunshine. I don't mind the cold, as long as the sun is shining
3. it is monday which is shit,
4. I need to get out of the house, I've been stuck in all christmas and these walls are driving me crazy
5. I love the smiths, as most will be aware. I want to see morrissey unbelievable amounts, its really terrible
6. I am looking into selling some photography, I need to make some money as no one seems that interested on getty. does anyone know of a good and efficient way?
7. I have a photography tumblr if you ever want to reblog something
8. why won't it snow?!
9. I have a stack of books to read right now, yayyy!
10. help me get back into flickr, tell me an interesting fact about you! I'm going to try and be a better contact

    The back lighting and halos are fantastic, Kitty.

    You know nothing about me... but here is a fact...I enjoy drawing/painting more than photography.

    Great photo! Love the lighting and your facts are great haha
    I've noticed you tag me in a few of your photos and I don't know why haha, when I've been tagged am I then supposed to write 10 facts and add all my contacts? I still feel like such a newbie to flickr..

  6. kitty' (5 months ago | reply)

    - yep, you have to tag and tell :)

  7. kitty' (5 months ago | reply)

    - thank you! I think painting/drawing and photography are all equal for me.

    # 1 is so true ... I find myself failing to get out and take anything creative and falling into loading stuff akin to hauling out the old picture box full of photos that have no interest to anyone but me. However, on Flickr you're only remembered as long as your last upload.

    Oh wow, this light is absolutely breathtaking. So delicate, I love the detail!
    2. mmmmm, love this weather.
    5. I saw Morrissey last June! The Smiths are one of my favourite bands and to just experience seeing Morrissey live was just... incredible. You should go, honestly, just go.

  23. Glenda Lissette (4 months ago | reply)

    Superr gorgeous :)

  24. kitty' (4 months ago | reply)

    - it's not too bad,
    it is optional of course :p

  25. ricepeter (4 months ago | reply)

    This is way more than mediocre!
    The Getty experience usually sucks, for most of us anyway. If you want to earn some quick cash with your camera you'll probably be the most successful getting gigs for weddings or senior portraits. In the meantime, a little fresh air and some excitement will probably help you get out of your funk. :-)

    i hope that the work will slow down for you soon...i know how busy it can get.

    and Mondays are horrible, i agree. a stack of books sounds perfect right now! i haven't been able to read in a long time because of how busy i am with school. :(

    the glow here is lovely, and i love the golden light.

    an interesting fact about me??? hmmm...when i was younger i used to collect pencil lead. i had over 4,000 of them. :D thank you for the tag! <3
