Habourside Performance Arcade

Finally picked up my flash 'new' (secondhand) Canon 60D camera Wednesday afternoon. So of course I took it for a spin- only to leave my SD card at home, typically. Which left the christening on my camera to Thursday evening.
Went down to the Wellington waterfront where The Performance Arcade (presented by The Playground NZ Ltd) was just getting into the evenings entertainment. The wind had built up by then, but the sky was still cloudless and just begging for a few photos to be taken.

New Beginnings

Woah! What a crazy last few days. I can now say I’m all moved in to my humble little abode in Wellington City. I still don’t think its even really sunk in yet that This is going to be my home for the next 10 months.

 

Bought myself a nice little Canon 60D camera off TradeMe today so hopefully I’ll be able to get some more photos back up here within a week or so. But for now I’ll just have to give my literary skills a bit of a workout.

At the moment, all the orientation activities are in full swing, so it’s all the boring introductions and meet&greets. But the nightlife is about to take off with heaps of cool acts in bars and clubs all over Wellington City to kick off the 2014 University year. Very soon though we’ll be into the actual art making (the next best thing to getting drunk and dancing with strangers).

Cant wait to show you guys what i get up to!

Photography Adventures

Got the photos from the impromptu shoot a few weeks back from my amazing friend and photographer Josiah Clark. I cannot praise this guy enough for all the work he's done for me and his photos are always flawless. Find him on Facebook and Tumblr for a wider range of his body of work. I seriously recommend it.

Got some killer shots to paint and draw from. I even ended up in front of the camera for a little bit too instead of just directing from the background.

 

 

 

Wellington Bound

Things are getting pretty hectic around me at the moment. I officially leave the small town of Cambridge for a much larger windy Wellington City in just over a week. So naturally, I have left everything till the last minute. Not only do I have to pack and downsize all the junk that's lying around my room in order to make the move possible, but the 'rents are moving house just after I leave. Which means that all the other shit that I would normally have been allowed to continue sitting and collecting dust, has to be pack up too.

The next week and a bit, for me, is going to contain a lot of packing, stressing, finishing commissions, completing my last days of work at the cafe, cleaning, visiting friends that I'll be leaving behind, and most likely a tonne of expletives.

Oh the joys of procrastination.
