We'll both take it easy



But if you stay too long inside my memory
I will trap you in a song tied to a melody
And I'll keep you there so you can't bother me

You can't manufacture a miracle

Dead things, I am taking photos of them. It makes you have to go a bit close to them and realise they won't be coming alive or doing anything scary. I would like to actually do an exhibition of dead animal photos some day.

This is my third dead animal photo. The first was the dead hedgehog, which you can find on this very blog. It wasn't scary as it was basically just a skeleton. But it was also way cooler. The second was a dead bird which I took from very far away. Anyway here is dead rat, taken at Ladies Bay, a lovely nudist beach in Auckland. His eyes are still open.



There is a dead tiny wee mouse outside my house, which I am just waiting to decompose more in to a skeleton before I get out my Nikon.. This is pretty disgusting, but it is part of life and nature and I must appreciate it and not be scared of it any more!

Welcome to the good life


OCTOBER is nearly over, and last year October was the start of my new life. This year October is the start of a newer life.

Keziah & Rachel


As I have 5 months left before I start studying, I want to make the most money I can during this time. I want to settle down, I want to settle down. In Mt Albert or the Shore. I'm looking for a new place to live, with people I don't necessarily know.

I am going out every night & I am taking photos every day.
Blog is back ON.

Making love with his ego

DAMN, I am sore today. I would love a massage and deep heat, a stretch and a bath, a sleep and a cuddle.

I took Justin's Jack 3d, it's meant to make you go hard out and not feel like stopping. It didn't work. I admit, I only had 1/3 of what Justin takes, so I'll try it again tomorrow morning. I am trying not to eat so much fruit. I usually have 3-4 pieces a day, not to mention the dried fruit and juice..
Give me protein.
The guy from www.sportsnutrition.co.nz sent me a sample last week of this amazing, delicious plant based protein that tasted like cake mix. I was so impressed. But they don't even sell it on their site. Now I'm left with my egg protein that actually tastes like runny egg, and no alternative, after having tasted the best alternative ever. Soo.. am I to look elsewhere? Not such a smart move after all.

Getting a haircut tomorrow. Hopefully get rid of a lot of brown hair. Will post pics! And also will post photos of my face painting progress.

LOUD SHIRT DAY

My hair comes to the party::

Kylie's last GG party.

So that's me and my multicoloured hair rockin' out in my un-natural habitat. But it is Brooke's natural habitat. The party was sweet, food was good, house was spacious, Billy J was rockin' out too. As you can see, my busy schedule of face painting, gym and customer service prevented me from fulfilling my fashion dreams. Never again. When I was a teen, there was always time to make something.

And here's a photo I took. Needs some blurification.

I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here, all the millionaires.

Put it on on me

Time to get creative on this outfit for Saturday night!!

FIRST::Black maxi


GOLD SPRAY PAINT


Camera stencil.. not sure on the exact design yet

I will spray the stencil on the dress in gold. I might have diamond stencils too - around it.
So that's the dress, then I want some serious eye makeup.




After that I'm not sure if it's best to keep my shoes and nails extremely plain.
I will see how I go.

I'm just a notch in your bedpost

Nature is sexy, it has better colours than man-made things. It changes to be better on it's own, it flourishes and decorates the planet. It turns back in to nothing when it's finished being here.

Because the world is round it turns me on
Beacuse the wind is high it blows my mind

Split mandarin

Fence attack

Don't die!


Lemon+ tiny ladybird

Because the sky is blue it makes me cry
Because the sky is blue

Banevanot (with additional lyrics)



You say banevanot
And so I not
I never not
Banevanot

I keep thinking that you're home
But you're never home
I keep waiting by the phone
But you never phone

I kiss you all the time
But you're never mine
I love you all the time
But you're still never mine

You say banevanot
And so I not
I never not
Banevanot

I keep looking for a sign
But you never sign
I keep handing you dotted lines
But you never sign

I keep sweeping you off your feet
But it's never sweet
I ask you what you speak
But you never repeat

You say banevanot
And so I not
I never not
Banevanot

Yeah, yeah, yeah
You say banevanot
And so I not
I never not
Banevanot

ENFJ

distinctively expressed extravert
distinctively expressed intuitive personality
moderately expressed feeling personality
slightly expressed judging personality


Zirca Circus Copyright Rachel Margaret Anderson

The dynamic nature of their intuition moves ENFJs from one project to another with the assurance that the next one will be perfect, or much more nearly so than the last.

But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware"

Put it on on me

Ok this is a new project. Keziahx8. Feel free to name it if you want. We will be doing a new look every day (or so) until there are 8. This is to get me good at studio lighting.

So here are today's favourites. Special thanks to Brooke Anderson who was our assistant on the shoot.
Enjoy!

Is it you, or is it me?

What I have been doing lately is using my google calendar. I have also been on twitter a lot. I have a new one as my business http://twitter.com/photofacenz but it's a bit boring at the moment. I have to update somewhere, so I am just popping in here. I thought my website would be done by now.

Here are some photos I've taken lately. It kind of cheers me up to look at these, I love this shoot. It is of course, the absolutely wonderful Justin Lane!

That leads to your door

Photos of my dad were taken by me today. We will go to another location tomorrow morning and shoot photos with props and a bit more of a story. Not much to see here, just Gaz.







Friday, May 7, 2010

That's money honey

I almost got in to a bad habit there, of not updating!

What have I been up to? Making my website.. it's getting there.
I have been taking photos too. I went to two clown shows with Justin and took photos there. I only want to show the ones from first party because they are way better. We emailed the photos to the parents and Justin photoshopped some of the ones for the party where the photos were shit, and I watched, and now I feel like I understand the essence of photoshop.










This weekend I'm taking photos of my dad. And Kez maybe.
