I hope those of you who watch me have been sticking by, waiting patiently for me to add something. I know it has been a while, and for those who are still around, I thankyou for your patience.

Love and Peace.. Liz x

We live in an area known for its bushland. The bushland harbours indigenous wildlife and plants and its streams are clean and healthy. We use our natural environment for recreation and contemplation. Can your photograph depict the Bushland Shire at its natural best?

Earthwise in Hornsby
Hornsby earthwise encourages council and the community to minimise their impact on the environment. Photos in this category will capture environmentally friendly actions and attitudes within the community, business or home. The photos should also inspire others to live environmentally sustainable lives.

People of Hornsby Shire
People from all walks of life, cultural backgrounds and religions, with a multitude of experiences, make our community what it is today. This category aims to capture these special individuals, families and groups.

Buildings of Hornsby Shire
Significant landmarks, buildings, historic houses or any architectural feature within the Shire that captures your eye can be entered in this category.

Business in Hornsby
Our Shire is a hub of business, industry and commerce. Sponsered by the Hornsby Chamber of Commerce, photos in this category should represent local businesses or people in their place of business.


The other annoying thing is that all the photos taken for this competition have to be taken within the council area.. as in the suburbs that are actually a part of that suburb. I don't actually know the extent of the council though lol. Should probably investigate that.

Anyway, if any of you have any suggestions as to what I could possibly take any photos of to enter, can you please let me know.

I put them in the category best suited to the photo and they keep getting moved. When I take macro photos, and put them into the Macro category, I expect them to stay there, but oh no.. because they are flowers, they get moved to the Flowers and Plants category. Yes, they are flowers, and they would fit there too, but you would know if you had seen the actual flowers, that they would be much better suited in the macro category then elsewhere.

Why can't people make these decisions themselves. When you choose the category, the whole reason there is a Gallery Info button, is so that you can look up exactly what that category stands for. It is ridiculous.

I'm peeved.

With the blues, the greens.. my crazy friends, and the wonderful sunshine.. so look out for some stunning photos round the middle of Feb.. depending how long it takes me to upload them cause I'm lazy haha!

Hope they come out as good as I'm making them sound although I havn't yet ever been to that part of the world, and I havn't yet taken the photos lol.

Peace out people..

I did however feel pretty cheesed since I was being told nothing about what kind of photos they wanted or anything like that, and the other photogrpaher was. Also he loved standing right in front of me to take the photos.. it was bloddy annoying, and I didnt get a lot of [what would have been] good photos cause he was there. Grrrrr!!!! Anyhoo. I went home a lot earlier than I was going to, but I figured the pro was there, he was getting all the shots, they would have been better than mine, so I spose there wasn't much point in both of us being there.

The one photo I did get of someone famous there that I actually knew.. Angry Anderson haha. I never realised just how short he really is! Was great. The pro guy found him and while he was posing for the photo, I kinda snuck in and took one at the same time, while the other guys camera was playing up haha. I'm sneaky like that.

And so yeah. That was Monday night. Mind you, by the end of the night my back was aching cause I had been standing literally from 8.30am-9pm, and hadn't really sat down at all. Also I wasn't even offered and of the gorgeously smelling food coming out of the kitchen.. so I came home and had a sandwich for dinner.. a pretty boring one actually. And that was all I had eaten since lunch which was also a sandwich just before 2pm. Yeah, I was exhausted, and hungry, and yet I couldn't sleep when I went to bed which is just weird.

Then I got up this morning, nice and early [for my day off anyway] and hit the gym.. working off not much really cause I havnt' really eaten this past week. I mean I have, but nothing substantial. I was great, and again I'm exhausted. I think I'm gonna have to be lazy now and go lie on the couch and watch a movie, since I really have nothing better to do with my day haha.

Catch you guys later.

Well anyhoo.. it's late, and I should really be getting to bed since I didn't get much sleep last night, and I probably wont get heaps tomorrow. Wish me luck for Monday guys!

I found out a few names of people who are going, and the few that I actually knew and remember now include Magda Szubanski and Angry Anderson lol. So that should be great fun. Although I'm not enitrely sure what I'm supposed to be doing on the night. I guess I'll be finding out though hey. So thanks to everyone for their good luck wishes last week cause I guess they worked

I can't think of anything else to write, so I guess I'll finish here. I'll try post the pics when I do the gig. Well.. if I'm allowed to lol.

Have an awesome day people!
Love, Liz

I am however, pretty impressed with my photography skills . I got [for me and my experience anyway] some pretty awesome shots. For the black and white shots, and some of the colour [that I have posted anyway] were taken on my Canon 3000N, with a standard 28-80mm lens. The other colour photos that are up were taken on our digital Pentax Optio60. There is still another half role of black and white photos from that weekend that have yet to be finished and developed. All comments on those photos would be greatly appreciated.

Hope you all have fantastic weeks.. they're open to anything strange happening this week.
Peace out, Liz

anyhoo, must be getting to bed so i can get up at some ungodly hour for work in the morning. hope you all have a relaxing weekend. i shall let you all know when i get them back, and i shall post the good ones as soon as.

Liz.

Anyhoo. I rang, my ex-boss has a snap at me cause there is no one else available to work today due to the other girl n guy who work there having Uni exams. She told me it was her last day and that I was supposed to come in today so that I could be introduced to the new chef. [I don't see how it can be that hard to meet someone new.. I've done it a few times at work before..] So she's having a snappy snap and telling me that I have to be alright for tomorrow etc etc. I told her I probably would be, cause I'm not as bad today as I was yesterday.

But God, she pisses me off. She's not even my boss anymore. I don't see why she cares so much if something goes wrong..It's not her problem. I mean, if anything she should feel lucky. Shes spend the last week and a half getting paid for nothing, and she's actually going to have to get up off her fat arse and do something. "Oh my God, I'll have a heart attack." I bet that's what she's thinking. Geez... Bosses. Who needs 'em??


Okies, I'm all good now. Thanks for listening to that little rant just there. Anyone in the Sydney area know of any good jobs going? I need a new one. Cheers.

And so.. the entire point of this journal entry, was to tell you that in a little while those photos, and any extra that I print off, will appear on this website. Keep an eye out for them!

I have grown a bigger love to this field of work, and so eventually [when I find the time] I'm going to start looking for a job in that area. Not sure what kind of photography just yet, but I'll work it out eventually.. even if it means trying out different aspects of the whole thing and working it out that way [which is probably what will happen.]

Anyhoo. Hope all is well in the houses of those reading this. If it isn't, well.. that just sucks. Unfortunately though there isn't really anything I can do for you there. Nighty night

Peace out people. *mwah

I really want to print some of these photos.. I actually need to print some of them for an assignment we have to hand in. *has a little rant* Lol. It's all good. I don't think I'm going to be able to get all of my photos printed.. Well all the ones I want to print anyway, by the time this course is finished, and so I might just focus on printing the ones we *have* to hand in, and then I might go to a printing shop and get them to do it for me or something. I know they wont be as good a quality, but time is precious. Aaannd.. there isn't enough of it.

Just thought I'd give a little update.

*mwah peace out dudes and dudettes.

I must let you all know, though, that the muffins were so incredibly delicious! I'm not sure how healthy they were.. I mean apart from the fruit.. it was pretty unhealthy lol. They all got eaten within 36 hrs of being made, which is pretty darn good lol.

But yeah. Thanks for the concern, to those who were concerned. I'm a little better now. I spose I should have seen it coming, but then when it does, you really don't expect it. But wait.. no.. lol. The thing that really peeved me off that day came so out of the blue it was just freaky. The aforementioned thing happened *after* what i wrote the journal about lol. Have I confused enough people yet??

Have a good day all. I'm hoping that I will be able to get into the darkroom next week at TAFE and print some of my photos, so I'll hopefully be able to put them up on here. *crosses fingers*

*mwah. peace out dudes

I'm not happy today. It was going all well [cause I made the muffins] and then it got fucked up. It messed with my head and well.. FUCK. I'm in the shittiest mood now.

I don't know anymore.

Ok, so basically what I wanted to tell you was that very soon [ie. next week] I will be making my prints from my film. When they are printed and everything I will be posting them up here. Look out for them! I'll only be putting up the very best of the shots. I dont even know how many I will be printing, so we shall see.

So pending further notification, I'm going to assume that I got in, and am going to let you all know, that if you wait just a little longer, you might just see some of my new shots. Hopefully they will be a great improvement on the older ones that I've taken. These new ones will have be utilising my camera properly.. by playing with all the settings. Gonna be great fun. Also the course is at night, so chances are I might get some cool night shots..

This is all that is up and coming for me this year. 2007 is well on its way to being a much better year than 06, and yet.. it is only 30 days in. It's looking good.

Thankyou to everyone who watches and comments on my works.. I dont think I'd still be here without all your support.

maybe im not meant to be a photographer. maybe im not meant to be an artist, cause quite frankly, i kinda suck at all things completely artistic in anyway. ive always enjoyed it and ive learnt many things through 6 years of studying art at school and everything, but im not artistic. not in a way that matters anyway. i am artistic in a way that only i appreciate, a way that nobody else likes and thats what matters. people say that if you like it and others dont, then thats all that matters.. but its not true. if other people, people who matter dont like my stuff, then i dont see the point in doing it. i can take snapshots, but nothing with artistic merit, i cant draw, i cant paint, i cant sculpt. and trust me on this..im not saying it because i dont want to try or i just dont have confidence in myself.. well.. ive done it all, ive tried my absolute hardest at everything i ever did, and nothing comes of it..nothing.. and i dont know what to do with my life anymore. im supposed to be enrolling into a photography course next year to learn how to do it properly, but i dont see the point in spending my time and my money to not use the skills. should i do it? should i not?

people who know me well, know that i have a self-esteem problem.. a pretty big one really, and well..it could be that, it could be that i dont feel i will be successful no matter how much i get taught, i really dont know. it feels weird, but i get in trouble from my friends when i write things down like this instead of telling them face to face, but the truth is, i cant talk to people like that. frankly, if people want to know whats really been happening in my life, then they have to read my journal..otherwise they will just get told "im fine, nothings been happening lately" the stock standard excuse. ive tried so many times to open up to people and it just doesnt work. when i spent all of january this year working with my aunt in the country, i didnt see any of my friends for such a long time. it really was hard, and i didnt have anyone to talk to about anything there..granted, i didnt really need anyone to talk to there..getting away from everyone kinda made me forget all the bad things that had happened, and it was easy. i spoke with some of my friends over the net, and called one or two on the phone. i had a great time, though i missed everyone so much..i never thought i could. when i got back to sydney, i was a different person [not to mention skinnier and very tanned "P] i opened up and spoke to people, and then.. well..time went on and i got a new bf and then we broke up and somewhere there i closed off again. i couldnt talk to him, i couldnt talk to my bestie of 14 years..i couldnt tell anyone what i was feeling when i was so upset that i couldnt sleep at night, that i would lie awake in bed in the pitch black not being able to sleep. [and this was while i was with my bf..] i think, maybe, it might have had something to do with the way he acted. i cant pinpoint a date exactly or even a round-about time, but it got too hard to talk to him and thats really not a good thing when ur in a relationship with someone. it happened with my previous ex. he would always be having a go at me to open up to him, but i somehow knew..i dont know..it was kinda an inkling feeling or something.. but i just couldnt tell him my problems because he would see it as an oportunity to tell me something bad that was happening in his life, and would never actually help me with my problems..[i know, i tried once, and before he could say a word of help towards me, the conversation was all about him..] he was too wrapped up in his own little world to notice that there was anything wrong with me, he never noticed when i was down and he asked how i was and i just told him "fine" and then hardly said a word. people who arent self-absorbed notice. like my most recent ex. he noticed, but i shrugged it off, said it was nothing.. and i was wrong. you paid attention to me and my feelings and i had a full and complete opportunity to tell you what was wrong and get some help without it being thrown back in my face, and yet..i didnt tell him. its like i had to keep up this brave face or something so he wouldnt notice what i was really feeling. and its all my fault. im not putting any blame on him, its mine in all entireity. i just wish i had the chance again to be able to talk to someone open and honest, and actually take that chance. but at this point in time, the one person who i could have done this with hates me, my bestie is busy studying for her exams to finish her first year or uni and my other friends probably wouldnt believe so much that i was like this..not that... ]]> ~black-squares http://black-squares.deviantart.com/journal/10541048/ http://black-squares.deviantart.com/journal/10541048/ Sat, 28 Oct 2006 19:30:18 PDT

got nothing new coming up either..well i have, but the film is taking longer to finish than expected. i just havnt been able to find any inspiration lately. though, the other night.. friday i think it was, i went outside, just as the sun was setting thru the houses and the trees and captured an amazing sunset..just beautiful, so if the photos turn out well, i shall be posting them here for the world to see.

on a brighter note.. this morning i was bored and so left home and went for a little walk round the streets. went a little further than i expected to be going, but what the heck.. it wasnt like i was due home at anytime or anything.. so anyway, i found a set of swings.. well i found two, but the first were inhabited with little kids, so i walked a little further. i sat on the swings and i pushed myself high and felt the wing through my hair.. my feet moving in and out underneath me. i closed my eyes and pushed myself as high as i could go.. back in the world of a little kid. i could see myself doing the exact thing at a younger age with my sister and my friend from down the road. we would ride our bikes to the same swings and just play for a few hours and then go home again. there was this one path that was covered.. almost like a jungle in a way.. it was a true adventure walking through there, swishing a stick in front of you to take out any spider webs that were across the path. we used to play in there, jumping the little river and having fun. i opened my eyes and saw no friend, no sister, no more jungle.. no more adventure. the jungle had been cut away and a sanctuary had been put in place for the ducks.. there was no more need to wave a stick about like a lunatic.. and that made me sad. everything i knew when i was younger.. the things that made me happy.. theyre all gone. my friend and i lost each other a couple of years ago. we still live down the road from each other, but we went our separate ways. now i dont even get a smile when i see her down the street. things with my sister could be worse i suppose, but they are no nearly as good as they were. i used to be able to talk to her about almost anything.. being younger than me, she might not have understood everything..but she did with most. she spoke to me about a lot of things. now we dont even have that. sometimes i get to know the tiniest little things about her, but she doesnt want me involved in her life anymore. and that makes me sad. everything i saw today and then what i didnt see. it made me depressed because i knew it was never going to come back again. i realised just how precious things are to you, when they get taken away. for the breif 15 minutes of my day, i felt young. i felt like a carefree little kid, the wind blowing my hair all over the place.. it made me feel good until i opened my eyes again.

anyway.. thats my little bit of ranting for the week. sorry if it doesnt make much sense or if its a little confusing.. thats just me i suppose.. well goodnight world (good morning to some of you im sure).. okilidokili.. toodaloo.. ]]> ~black-squares http://black-squares.deviantart.com/journal/8727515/ http://black-squares.deviantart.com/journal/8727515/ Wed, 10 May 2006 06:28:41 PDT
what else has been happening lately.. hmm.. oh! last thursday, i was cutting onions for dinner and when i finished cutting i was wiping my finger down the blade to get the onion pieces into the bowl, and i sliced my finger. luckily it didnt go deep, but the knife did have onion acid on it and so it absolutely cained.. good thing.. dad heard and came into the kitchen, shoved my hand under the tap to wash the acid out and he bandaged it up for me. so yay for dad.. he fixed me up!! hahahahaha.. it did bleed quite a bit though.. and i dont think when i cook again this thursday.. (we take it in turns each day of the week), i wont be doing anything that involves cutting onions if i can help it.. i generally try to do that anyway cause i dont like onion tears.. theyre awful..

o0oh.. also a thing thats been concerning me.. certain people in my life recently have told me that i am able to them then just about anything.. that i can rely on them if i need someone to talk to, then i can call them and they would be there. yeah, thing is, if you say that, then you actually have to be there dont you? i called said persons (lets call them.."jo") house one day, dad answered and i was told to hold on a minute while said person was found.. so i waited.. like 5 mins later, i was told that "jo" had gone out without the dad knowing.. which got me thinking that maybe "jo" was actually there and played the "im not here trick". the dad told me that "jo" was usually upstairs and the dad was upstairs when the phone rang, so obviously it wouldnt take five minutes to walk the top level of the house.. ive seen the house.. not the inside, but it doesnt look like it could take five minutes to walk through it completely. it doesnt take that long in my house, and though it isnt 2 story, it is rather large i think.. so yeah.. got me wondering.

ANYhoo.. enough of my ranting im thinking.. just had to get those few things off my chest.. would have written them in my blog, but ive been labelled an attention seeker by a few people, and so i dont write anything like this there anymore cause they just think im trying to get attention when really, im just retelling details.. anyho.. thanks to anyone who actually bothered to read this and take some attention.. there may be more coming soon.. i shall see how things pan out.. ]]> ~black-squares
