“You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him…”

June 23, 2008

When things change in life, I begin to think. About the future and about the past, about things I picked up in the past, but never focused my full attention on. I’m not sure that makes sense, but I’m not sure how to word it any better.

I found this quote, but stupidly can’t remember who quoted it. It’s so brilliant and it’s made me really realise some stuff, which I remember “seeing” and thinking “It’s not right”, but I must have not taken it in enough, because only now - after reading that quote did I realise how it showed so much into a person I cared about…

 You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him. 

It’s true you know, that what people say behind others backs, shows who they really are, what they’re like and whether we trust them. Because if someone is talking behind someone else’s back - you know it’s a possible chance that they will about you too.

Do you agree? Disagree? Get wordy and tell me what that quote makes you think.

If you’ve seen the homepage, you may have noticed the new photographs we added to Flickr - Rosanna, Sasha and I have been experimenting with modeling and photography. On almost all of the new photographs, we’ve been using my favourite combination… Canon EOS 5D and 135mm lens.

We’ve got some very random photographs, no real theme - the above one is of me, in my mother’s old dress - it was my favourite dress when I was smaller, I always used to try it on hoping it would fit and now it does!

This one is a quick snapshot I took of Sasha (left) and Rosanna (right). I only took two, so it was pretty lucky - I can’t really believe it turned out so well.

Anyway, there are a bunch more, check them out and let me know what you like best, we’re going to be trying loads more ideas out. ^^ :innocent:

Photography: Passion #unknown

June 3, 2008

Lately, I haven’t had a decent creative streak… the fact that I haven’t been able to really make anything graphic wise; tutorials, graphics, resources etc hasn’t helped. But I’ve been forcing myself to throw myself into this new web design and structure. I hate how it’s taken so long, I just want to finish it… every time I went onto LTY Designs I kept wanting to close the window, I’m a perfectionist.

I’m sure you know what I mean when I say, you can’t always be online, on the computer. I sure can’t anyway. Because I wasn’t being creative online, I ended up spending more time taking photographs.

My father has a few Canon bodies and also lenses - his passion is photography; I’m lucky enough to be able to use whatever I like, so long as he doesn’t need it for work and I look after them (obviously).

Rosanna and Sasha have since been on hand to be my temporary models - we’ve been taking a lot of photographs, all sorts of styles and poses, nothing too dramatic but a lot of fun for me; improving my photography and also trying new things myself and my models.

I added them to Deviant Art but I also added them to my Flickr - the Flickr account also works with the homepage, anything new I add will be added there - exciting.

I spent most of my time behind the camera, but the odd time Sasha (the youngest of us three) decided she wanted to take some photographs of me. I surrendered the beloved camera to her and she took several good shots. You can find them on dA and Flickr. My favourite is this one below:-
