Prom

The final gathering, before going off to university, for the Rhetoric II students from St. Edmund's College was June 27, 2012. It took place at the Hertfordshire Golf Club. The night was filled with music, dancing, drink and laughter. A prom that I will not be forgetting any time soon. Here are some pictures from the evening:

DigitalRev TV

Tonight I've signed up for yet another website where I'll be sharing my photographs and what equipment I have (and may possibly buy later on). It's for a company called DigitalRev. They've got a YouTube account where they review cameras, give you tips on how to photograph different subjects and do different themes. It's a brilliant channel to subscribe it. There are many videos on there that I would like to try like 'Bikini powder girl' which is their latest video.


I cannot wait to be able to go out to Cambridge in September, if I get into university, and take photos of brand new things and different people. I need a new scene.

Inanimate Apparel T-shirt Customisation

The internet is a wonderful place. On Facebook I came across a photo that James Cheal (aka ChealyTheNinja) posted, it was of a t-shirt design entered into a competition and he was asking for people to vote for the design.


I really wanted the design to win the competition as I thought it was really good. Thinking that this wasn't going to be the first design, I did a bit of searching and found out who designed the t-shirt and if there were any other designs. What I found was a clothing line called Inanimate Apparel, which was founded and is owned by Alex Dyson from Huddersfield in West Yorkshire. I had a look at the site where you can buy his clothing and I fell in love with the 'Owl Predator' sweatshirt. I contacted him via Twitter to ask about the sweatshirt and he said he wasn't printing any more which did upset me. He then said that I should get the t-shirt.


I ordered it and was beyond excited to get it.  In my previous post I had cut up an old t-shirt, I thought about doing the same with the owl t-shirt. this is because the t-shirt is a unisex t-shirt and did nothing for my figure as it made me look quite boxy. At first I was very afraid, the material is very comfortable and the print is very well done but most importantly I didn't want to ruin the shirt. However I spoke to Alex via Twitter and he said I should definitely go for it so I redesigned the t-shirt to make it more feminine.

This is the result:


I highly reccomend you like the Facebook page and follow him on Twitter. Watch out for upcoming designs and products because this guy is going places! Well done and good luck to Alex for future success with Inanimate Apparel.

Old t-shirt cut up

I had an evening of going through YouTube videos and I found one on how to cut up band t-shirts so that they would look more feminine. Instead of cutting up band t-shirts and messing them up I decided to try it out on some old t-shirts that were at home. Like this one:
The t-shirt I started with

After cutting the t-shirt for about half an hour this is the result:
