Oh Camera Where Art Thou?

UGH! I'm getting so impatient!
I just want my camera to arrive! Is that soooo much to ask?! :P
*sigh*
Well after chewing up and spitting out a certain UNNAMED company's support team I have managed to get a full refund (item price + shipping) after my order for the Canon G7-G9 Access kit got returned to the company after "I" refused it. Of course I did no such thing because I am dying for all of my camera equipment (and camera of course) to arrive so I can get back to work!!
They said that I refused it so I couldn't get my shipping charges back. Bullocks!
So now after TONS of back and forth I have gotten my way and they have grudgingly agreed to a refund.
I can't tell you who they are because I agreed only to give them a "glowing" review if they are expected to refund me. :P
Whatever. Just give me my money you cheap-os.

Debating always leaves me all jittery like some sort of freakish sugar rush. I don't really like it.

So today I have fully exercised my debating, negotiating and executing polite insults skills while nursing burn wounds. Talk about multi-tasking! Hee hee!
Why burn wounds you ask?
Well they are not really wounds per say but more like sore marks of clumsiness only I possess.
Last night during work with a glue gun I managed to give my thumb a nice smart burn and after unplugging the glue gun to go and ice my finger, I proceeded to step on the glue gun which resulted in giving the sole of my foot a nice fat burn.
I am...a genius.

So, though with a slight limp, I can still carry my head high since I got my money back! Hurrah!
Now...where is my camera?

I secretly hope that along with my camera, my order for the knitted Harry Potter Hogwarts scarf and hat will come in too :P Hee hee
Now that I am through with all 7 books I need some cheering :P
Maybe I'll include them in a photo! :D

Anyways so my latest photo was just another from the 'Alice' and 'Fallen' series. I'll reveal a little secret to you about that shoot.
It was taken in my partner's septic overflow.
hehehe
In my defense, I DID have on shoes and it was bone dry in there. And if it makes you feel any better I washed my feet :P
Getting into the ditch was the easy part...getting out was another thing as I had to launch myself off a rock at the bottom and grab onto the side of the opening and scramble out.
One achey ankle, several scratches and a dirty dress later this shoot was over. :)

"It's a terrible daaaay.
-Oh don't be that way.
It's a terrible day for a wedding"

Heheh...that song has been stuck in my head whole morning. It's from the first musical number in The Corpse Bride (don't let the title fool you, it's a lovely movie)
It's sung by two disgruntled parents moaning about an arranged marriage.
Not my favourite by Burton but still a nice watch.

I've not taken any new photos since my camera kicked the bucket but that's just as well as I've not really had that many new ideas. I'll let them sit and stew for a while and hope they turn out better I guess. I'm not going to borrow a camera unless I really have something to do with it.
October should just hurry up already.

Pretty bleak weather here today. At least it's not as hot!

The photo that I posted today was from the last butterfly shoot with 'Bohemian Silence' 'The Hypnotist' and 'Butterfly Kisses'. Was a rather productive shoot since I managed to squeeze 4 shots out of it.
I hope I have more of those soon!

This was taken in my living room in the sunlit room. I knelt down in front of a chair with my sarong draped over the back and took the shoot with no flash, using just the morning light. Pretty simple editing too. In the other shots you can see that there was a lot of eye makeup but none took part in this shot. The makeup was fairly simple as well, using my favourite green and hot pink eyeshadow decked with yellow false eyelashes featured in another photo called '*yank*'. I shaped my eyebrows with some green glitter gel as well. That's really the only thing that stuff is good for in my opinion as it's sticky and gross and I don't want it on my skin :P
Here's the shot:



Well I hope you all enjoy your weekend and this shot is to your liking.
I can't wait to sleep in tomorrow as I had to get up early for work today. Pooh.

Tut tut

Deary me...I must be the worst blogger...ever.
Well...as some of you may or may not know, my camera is dead and I am looking for a new one.
So far the Canon G9 has really struck my interest but I will have to wait until October for it...blast!
So lately I've been routing though old files...i.e reject photos and trying to make some use of them. I may be borrowing some cameras now and again but I just can't wait to have my own again!!
It's so frustrating!

aaaaaannyways. Last night you got a dose of my bad sense of humor as I posted one of the shots from a Tim Burton inspired shoot that I did about a month ago. I put up another shot breifly but then decided that it really was rubbish and I should take it down.
Oh the fickleness of me!
Now that I have no camera I still want to keep posting so I chose the Burtonesque portrait simply because I thought it might be fun to show my masculine side :P

This shot was taken in the corner of my room between the door and the wall. I used a desk lamp for extra lighting and I draped my extremely torn but rather dear quilt from the wall (badly held up by cheap thumbtacks) which ruined a few shots and my wig placement after toppling onto my head repeatedly.
It was intended to be a full bodied shot as I had on suspenders and boy's shorts just above the knees...and some feet eating shoes from Payless, but it just didn;t work out the way that I wanted it to!
As I explained to the people that commeneted on the first Burton post, I'll be doing this shoot again in the future.
And hopefully it wont have the vignette!!!!



Well...hurrah! I posted!
I'll trryyyy to keep it up!
What I'll do is link the blog to the latest photo if I've updated it so you guys won't keep checking just to make sure that I'm a lazy bum! :P
