Say cheese...

Cameras, we all love them. Lots of us use them on a daily bases. I own a Nikon F-601 (analog) and a Panasonic Lumix ZX1 (digital). The good thing about having two cameras is the different types of pictures you can take. I usually take my digital out and about with me to take pictures as and when, and the SLR is for being more artistic. I like them both equally, and although it is easier to just plug in and go, there is something very satisfying about having a photography you can hold, and the anticipation of getting them back from the shop. Or, if you develop them yourself, having that real "hands-on" thing. Another camera that I'd like to own is the Lomography DianaF+. Yes it's made of plastic and leaks, but that's the beauty of the photographs. I'm going to buy the Diana+ Nikon lens adapter and get some Diana lenses (Fisheye!) hopefully, instead of buying another camera. (Even though a Fisheye lens and adapter comes to £45, and a Diana+ (without flash) is £35. With flash is £70) A good thing about using a digital camera is knowing what your photo will look like, and the ability to delete/crop/recolour etc. according to what you're trying to get across in your picture. But I'll always be a sucker for analog.

An un-Christmassy Christmas Film

This is my newest film.

It's a WATERMELON!

Is this the best album cover in the world? It's for Treefight For Sunlight's "A Collection of Vibrations For Your Skull", which in itself is a pretty awesome name, and I have high expectations for the album. I cannot wait for it to be released in the UK!!

It's Monday!

Ergh. Monday. The day we all dread. That's why I'm gonna start "Music Monday", only on Beetroot For Breakfast. I think it originated on Twitter, and so you can use the hash tag #musicmonday on there, or, use one exclusive to this blog: #musicmondayBFB. I'll be posting 2 songs to liven up your day, and although they may not be to your taste, I hope you enjoy them!


Treefight For Sunlight - Facing The Sun


Thulebasen - Raga Gemini

"Raga Gemini" has just been released today (20th Dec '10) and I've listened to it 10000+ times already!

This town, is 'coming like a ghost town

Strange things have been happening recently, so I've made a list of them for you all to discuss:
1)Things appearing out of nowhere
2)I've gotten really good at Tetris
3)My iPod always dies when I'm listening to R.E.M
4)All of my cardigans are getting holes in them
5)I keep on finding random pasta shapes in the cupboard
6) My cat got really spooked when she went under the sofa - probably a GHOST under there.
7)The downstairs phone won't ring
8) YouTube won't let me log in on my iPod
9) I've listened to Kate Bush - AND I DON'T EVEN LIKE KATE BUSH!
10) There's been 20cm of snow where I live.

Freaky, eh?
And whilst you read the list, you can listen to The Specials with "Ghost Town":

Thirty Day Challenge: Day #5

Tell us your three favourite colours
Another toughie! I can't decide my three favourite colours, I love them all! I do quite like Orange, Purple, and Blue though. I like all shades of those colours, from pale to almost black. I'm doing a lot of things with brown at the moment and also grey. I tend to wear colours for the season, so in summer I wear paler shades and brighter colours than in the autumn, but many people do that. I LOVE patterns! That way I get loads of colour in one thing. Colours are good. But so are stripes, spots, florals, and argyle etc.  

Ha Pea Days!

I found this postcard lying around in my house. I'd forgotten that I'd bought it, so I decided to scan it and put it on here so you can all bask in its glory!
