Hi there

Sorry for the lack of journal updates. And the minimal gallery submissions are actually not a reflection of the amount of work I've been doing lately. I am actually getting a decent amount of photography done - not so much as I'd like to, I'll admit, but I still have much to submit here.

The usual excuses? I've just started my uni course, of course! In my second term of my Bachelor of Photography at Raffles College in North Sydney. It's going great! My first term was under the guidance of one Mister Stak Constantinou. The constantinou last name part is a little suss If you are aware of older-type cameras.

He was great. It was an amazing thing to get compliments from such a respectable photographer. I was grateful to have him as my teacher, lecturer, mentor and inspiration for a short 9 weeks. We will meet again next year though, however.

I have made a few good friends also, namely Andry who is also a photographer here on DeviantART... I must link him at the end here.

I also have new employment as of today, in Surrey Hills near Central Station. If all goes to plan, I will be moving out of home and into a nice little château (ahem, townhouse) within the next 2-3 months, with Mitchell and Zac.

Still obsessing over my weight, still have an eating disorder, still doing bad things to my body. Poor little body... Pepper is great. I've also moved into a new house! With my mum. My parents have been separated for a year now and are now going through a (rather nasty and saddening) divorce. I've been quite upset lately, on and off anti-depressants but am dealing through it with the help and support of Mitch, and sister Charlie.

Ups and downs are just a part of life though, pros with the cons

I'm also a twitter addict now; ever since I got internet access on my phone. As always, you can follow me using the link to the right. Do it!!

I'm also planning on continuing with my youtube blogs. I honestly have been very busy since the beginning of uni, taking classes and moving around houses and working.

And I've finally moved my way up to expert on guitar hero!!! I did buy GH Metallica for the Wii. My aim was to pass All Nightmare Long, and Mercyful Fate, and I DID IT!! So now I am just practicing every day to improve myself. Mitch is playing in the background now hitting about 5,000% times the notes I can hit Hehehe...

I also had swine flu!! Well, I was extremely sick and sat in a hospital emergency room for almost 5 hours. Then they told me to go home, as they were not going to test me. So I said "fine" to the bastards, "let me spread the virus around some more." And I did.

Also addicted to a little band called Valaska right now. Check him out. [link]

Anyway, I just wanted to do a quick update. Follow me on twitter. Keep an eye out for me on youtube. Links in the side-bar, to the right...


Much love
Natty
