WE ARE CARDIFF FILM PREMIER!

HELLO PEOPLE OF THE WORLD.

How are we all? 

Your day will get just a little bit better, maybe, as I announce the premier of the We Are Cardiff Film!

Boom!

I have been volunteering with We Are Cardiff (Wales' best blog of the year 2012 I'll have you know) for, well I don't remember; is it two or three years? Or is it four? Either way, that project and the people involved are like my family. I love to hate them. Joking. I hate to love them. Kidding again! I just love them! 

The We Are Cardiff Film has been in the making for around 18 months now and is coming to an end, and what a way to end it than having a premier showing of the film at Chapter Arts on the 7th of July, 2013. The film will start at 12:30pm at a fantastic price of £6, you will also find tea and cake there (and a bar for you hardcore sunday-funday people). What's not to love?!

Purchase a ticket at http://wearecardiffportraitofacity.eventbrite.com  

Once you've done that, RSVP here so we know you're coming! 

You are ALL welcome. It will be a great celebratory of the great city of Cardiff, and a jolly good day out. As if you have anything else better to do on a Sunday, ey?

I can't wait!

See you there.

Right, so with all my uni work and general life, Ffoto of the Week is becoming a bit sporadic. I'm sorry, alright! But that just means I will try even harder to get even better and more interesting images for you all.

Ahn Jun has an amazing series of self portraits to take your breath away. I'm not sure whether she has a thrill for heights, or what, but the views that she offers in most of her self portraits are remarkable. She's got guts, I'll give her that.

What strikes me with her images though, is that they are not your usual self portraits. They offer, like I said, an amazing view - she just happens to be standing right in there. This on paper doesn't sound amazing, but her presence in the images give a reality of being there in the moment. Giving the viewer a realisation of danger, or vertigo. She is putting herself in the situation. And in some of the images, offering a new perspective of the landscapes.

What can I say? I absolutely love her work. Wish I had the nerve to do something like this.

She has loads more on her website that you can check out. http://ahnjun.com/home.html

Remember, Remember..

Short and sweet for you folks today.

This is often my favourite time of year, other than the clocks going back, halloween and bonfire night are such fun occasions for me; an excuse to dress up without people thinking you're crazy, and to be a pyromaniac, without people thinking you're crazy. Woo!

Here's a little snippet from my firespotting last night.
Think I'll call it, Palmtree in the sky. Haha.

This is actually a part of an ongoing project that I'm doing at the moment. I can reveal more soon - so if you do like, keep your eyes pealed!

Swn Fest 2012

Had an amazing time running around filming/photographing the goings on of the City this weekend. All the video footage is for the We Are Cardiff Film, which you'll have to wait for, I'm afraid. Something quite different for me, not usually one to photograph bands, but it was great to see great live acts and have a good time while working too.

Anyway, here's a little sneak peak of the day...

Kayed

A tour around the outskirts of the city with the beautiful Kayed. Finding new and different places that people of the city might not even recognise, or even knew existed. And the sun always helps to shine a new light on a place..

City landscapes

Looking at the city differently, makes it all the more interesting. Look up once in a while in your concrete jungle, explore the streets.
