WHY BLOG?


Sometimes I need to remind myself why I blog. The reasons why people start blogging means something different to so many people. There are so many types of blogs and sometimes a misleading content of what 'needs' to be posted. Blogs are so personal and should be posted with whatever you want. For me the reason why I blog and started is to show my holiday photos - I was taking so many photos and loving it but when I showed them to people they just seem disinterested. I was taking photos from different perspectives and wanted people to appreciate them more. Travel and photography is a real interest of mine, recent and growing. I thought I had to post the 'typical' beauty blogger posts because that's what people seem to like more but I wasn't particularly liking doing those post - so I've deleted them.

Some people care so much about views but just a few people who view my blog I am shocked by so the amount of views I have now. To most people blogging obviously it's nothing but I am happily shocked by the views and comments on my posts, I am just a newbie still after all. Also stating you have a blog to people can stir up so many preconceptions.
 


Over a couple of years I sometimes question myself about my photography and writing this blog because of what others (particularly 'close' to me) will think about it, but whenever I do complete and publish a post the excitement I get is far better. I get to show people, whoever it is, my photographs from my holidays and trips away in some hope that they will like them and comment something as simple as "great photos!" Constant content can't always be the case and focusing on what you want to post only and not get mix up in the huge blogging world I think a lot of people can relate to.

LONDON PHOTOS: NOV'15

So recently I have been feeling really uninspired and not productive for like a month or so. I've thought about my blog content and decided to focus on travel, it's a hobby I love and it's why I started this blog - to share my photography travel pics!
I briefly said via Google+ that I will be doing posts on different places around the world I want to visit and I can't wait to write them! This idea came to me while adding to my long list I already have (...and yes it is a lot!) Some places I have been but there are so many I haven't been too which excite me. Let me know where you have always wanted to visit!
Moving on to this blog post. As I said I was feeling uninspired and needed a break from photography but to get back into it I went into Central London and took some pictures. I live in London so it's great for an occasion like this, I hadn't been into Central for ages and missed it! I just went and took images hoping to spark some inspiration and get back to love it again:

 
 
Along Southbank....

 
 
 
I love this composition, how the UK and English flag are high on top right between where it says 'proudly'.

 
 
 
 
Black and White best represented this cloudy shot.

 
A plane at the right moment

 
 
 
Wanna see more Street Art instead of graffiti, East London is a great area, have a look at EXPLORING LONDON for more.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Introduce to photos from Covent Garden, it's amazing wit the Christmas lights up this time of year!
 
 
 
The mirror ceiling is everything in this picture.

 
 
 
Got that festive touch
 
 
 
 
What do you think of the (random-ish) images I took? I'm slowly getting back into photography again...

HALLOWEEN LOOK 2015

This is why I love Halloween time, I can experiment with looks and makeup! Other reasons why I love Halloween, read more on my last post 'HALLOWEENTIME'.
 
 
This year I created a skull look which I love:


This look can easily be created with just black and white colours.
 
Using a few reference pictures as inspiration which I just found online, I used some cream make-up I had and black eye shadow for shading to create this.


 

 
What do you do for Halloween?
