I have massive gap time between posting up completed work. This was part of a book project for my 2D class at the end of my foundation year. It was crazy stressful, but you know, I do miss working with the print press, and being more crafty. Lament, lament!

Speaking of crazy stressful, that is one thing i REALLY should be right now but I'm not lol. I'm completely in a state of denial and negligence, and I've never cut my deadlines/progress this close before. Its a puzzling lack of urgency.

I hope you will be pleased with the cleaned-up blog layout, I spent the night pushing around html code without even fully understanding it ha, but I think it looks much more orderly now AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: huge space for pictures.

Like this one -



One of the nicer shots I got from the train ride back from malaysia. I took the railway with anisha and tash, and it was a series of almost-misadventures which made for interesting times ha. More on that later, am supposed to be studying astronomy. Among many other things that need to get done.

Its been a long while, photo-wise! Some of the photos come from damaged negatives when i messed up processing the film (still have no idea how it happened lol) but luckily it was for my experimental photography class..what a convenient excuse lol

I need to sleep. My skin looks like shit. Soon I will look like him!

Made this collage for typography class, which eh, I'm quite okay with la. Not really to my taste, but people seem to like it.





































Much prefer the original picture.

Here's some of the cool stuff I've been doing in my Experimental Photography class. We've been working with pinhole cameras and alternative printing processes which means all that fun in the darkroom with chemicals hurrah

To be fair, a few of the pictures here were digital files which were then converted into film negatives and then fiddled with using Chemical X, Y and Z, so it still counts right :D

Ditto!


My only regret about taking this class is that it means I won't be able to take it again in the future, damn. I would love to work and try out this medium for a much longer time than what the four months in a semester allows..
