What dictates beauty?
Our thoughts and desires.
The TV of lies
when no one else tries
The scheme organised
assailed with one side.
The itch inside
to hate and despise
The wanting to run,
the aching to hide.
A break in our thoughts.
A stop in our minds
What will we do?
Who will we call?
With silence we speak.
What's beauty after all?
Fear the Inevitable
Why do we fear the inevitable?
try to hide from the unavoidable
through sleep; through lies.
You creep and despise.
Your hand folded upon your lap
Like the silence of snow you try to adapt
adapt to this world of change
try to change who you are—what I am.
To prohibit the thoughts
of hypocrisy, adversity
When you look you will find
When you search draw the line
tears of death; and of light
Where are you?
Between wrong and what's right.

Hey all ye wonderful people!
Soz bout not updating the journal in sooooo long!
So just to fill you all in on what I've been up to in the last couple of weeks.
I did an awesum photogrpahic workshop run by Johann Van Tonder http://home.intekom.com/johann/. It was totally brilliant, and covered a lot of composition, style,lens use, and working as photojournalists(my future line of work i hope!) We were then give the task of photographing people doing activities. This is how I ended up shooting my first live gig - Prime Circle and Mandoza. (I'll be sure to upload some shots) I really enjoyed this, and learned a lot about live-event photography
