If I never have to see another pair of eyes magnified by a thousand times, I’ll die a happy chappy. Brighton Boy and I have been taking advantage of my college’s facilities, snapping macro eyes and lipsticks on pouted lips, torture tools on eyes and devil mascara brushes on dainty eyelashes. We also borrowed a saucy wide angle lens and went wandering the hills, befriending a seventy-five year old pro walker. He was accompanied by two rather fidgety dogs (not exactly ideal models for the camera) and praised us on having a decent hobby, unlike the “other youths”. He was a little hard to get rid of, but what can you expect of a lonely old man with no one but his dogs to waffle on to. Bless him..

Last night with Jenna’s 18th and she’d prepared a beautiful three course meal for her array of nutty guests. Much craziness ensued (and alcohol) — mouldy carrot fights, olympic long jump contests (my ankle feels broken), dancing barefoot in sloshy mud, etcetc. I also picked up the photos from Rupa’s party, and need be said, there was a plethora of incriminating evidence. If I had access to a scanner, I’d show you all such craziness, but maybe Brighton Boy will be nice enough to get them scanned in for me. I’m impressed with the super hardcore flash of a disposable camera! Such vibrant colours for a throwaway camera.

Friday afternoon we stood looking shifty on the streets of Camden. Camera in hand, zoom lens in palm, I was snapping away the bizarre characters found wandering the pavements. We stood nervously up against a rubbish bin, my skin shivering with nervousness. Deliberating was the deed of the day and he would tell me yes, then no, and I’d say yes, then no. My feet would wander forward then backwards, scuttling around in circles with a yesnomaybe answer. In the end, I did get it done. The pain was, in retrospect, quite nice. The familiar feeling of a needle tearing through flesh…

It’s a little sore, but I’m glad my baby’s back in her rightful place (just a little above the previous scars).

Hasn’t he got beautiful eyes?
