Embrassez Moi Je Parle Francais!

Do I get a hershey kiss now since I'm technically no longer in French? :D

I've been thinking about making this post for about a week yet and I was afraid I would forget to do it!
I think I said before that I would upload some of my project pictures so you could see them so here they are :)

This was the first place we took pictures.  It was about 7 or 8 in the morning and it was absolutely freezing cold because it was on a hill fault so the wind was crazy!

This is me being a dork in my ridiculous outfit before we started setting everything up :D


The wind made my dress look like MC Hammer pants :D


This is David in my "set up" shot to show where the lights and camera were :D


 I will warn you now that this project might be a bit weird for you :D  but basically it's my own version of a fairytale but with the original not happy ending :D 














Oh yes and I've also made a new website for Seniors this year which is here if you want to take a look :)

And I'm working on brochures again, bleck, it's taking me forever and I still have to do all my college work as well sheesh :D

Have a good Valentine's Day :)  I hope you have fun hearing all the people try to speak french today :D

A Very Cold Weekend in London

I thought I would send another little update your way today as I have a bit of time before my assessment :D  It was extremely cold in London this week and especially this weekend.  It actually snowed on Saturday night! It's probably the first and last time of the winter here.  When David and I went to Trafalgar square on Saturday the fountains were completely turned to ice!  Unfortunately I couldn't be bothered to bring my heavy, dead battery camera with me so I don't really have a picture of that :D  
Yesterday David used my camera to take some pictures so I thought I would share some of them with you :) 

This is what it looked like from my room in the morning.  I love all the yellow lights in the windows :D

This is me in St. James's Park where we walked to from where I live which is not close at all! But at least I had wellies on while david had a tennis shoe full of ice water :D


And here's David in the snow (he was acting like a child, I didn't know it was possible to love snow as much as he does :D)


And this is towards the end of the snow adventure where we were playing around with the funny mirrors on the underground :D


And finally this is from Saturday when we went out and you can kind of see the icy fountain in the background.


So that was pretty much my weekend.  I attempted to watch the superbowl last night as well but it didn't end till 3 a.m. and I fell asleep at 1.  I think the weirdest thing I've ever seen was Indianapolis on my tv screen in London :D
I hope you have a good week!

Hey Madame! Sorry I've been absent lately.  I've had a super busy month and I think that this month will be even busier scarily :D
I've already completed my first project for this year but now I'm straight on to my final major project which will take me to the end of the year.  I think I am going to do that project in Madrid and use someone who used to be an exchange student at Shelbyville for a model so I'm hoping that works out!
Also I have loads of interviews this next month.  I had my first one yesterday in Bournemouth.  It went pretty well but it was hectic getting there and back as i had to get a bus and then the train and then the bus and then repeat it all to get back :D  And on the way back I got lost and my feet were killing me so I walked barefoot until I found the bus stop :D
I've got 3 more interviews so far this month as well.  My portfolio looks really good though so I'm hoping the interview part will be easy.
Also I can't remember if I told you but david got me an instax camera which is like a polaroid but the film is cheaper and I've been having loads of fun with that.  I will have to scan some of my pictures so you can see them :D
David has been making me take walks in muddy woods and then he made me get utterly covered in mud to get this picture
We've also set up a business page on facebook to try to start taking pictures over here like I do back home.  We booked a wedding to take pictures at already which is awesome! We are going to make £500 out of it so I can't wait :D  
David might lose his job soon because his contract runs out so hopefully he finds something he wants to do and will actually like it.  

I think that's about it for now.  I will upload my latest project soon so you can see what that looks like, though you might think it's a bit weird :D 

And here are a few random pictures I've taken in the last month

 This is me annoying David on the train

The first picture I took on my instax camera :D

 The Savoy Hotel, but you can't see the Savoy 

 Cambridge
 Flowers in January!
 Cambridge again
Oh yeah I forgot to say that I went to a beer festival in Cambridge with David and his dad a couple of weekends ago.  It is so nice there and everything is so old and quirky i love it :D
the beer festival however was quite boring as i only had one glass because i don't like beer but on the plus side i got a glass that says Cambridge Beer Festival :D

Ok that's it for now! :D That was a lot of catching up there.  I hope everything is going well back in Indiana :)
