Some photographs

Hello again people of the internet! Firstly, a strange phenomenon has come to my attention that my blog has been viewed in fourteen countries across the glove! This is a.) very exciting and b.) a little bit scary but nonetheless, hello to you all wherever you may find yourself today.

So, after a series of not so pleasant events in my personal life, I somehow found myself in reasonable amount of despair in my bedroom back home when I saw in the corner of my eye, my hardrive from my first laptop. The nostalgia that burst through my veins was somewhat cancelled out by the sheer embarrassment of rereading my chat logs from MSN, some barely even readable due to the amount of emotiocon-ing and various other horrendous spelling mistakes but it was very very funny. However, what I would like to share with you today are in fact photographs.

I have always been a keen photographer. Upon recieving my first disposable camera at age seven, I have been obsessed by cameras - and that is not an exaggeration. I am fairly proud of my 4,103 photos on my phone that clog up my data usage, and my multiple SD cards full of random photographs I have taken over the years.

 Anyway, here are a few of my favourites with some descritions beneath. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did, it is now more clear to me than ever how lucky I am to have such beautiful places to call home in my life

This was taken on my birthday in 2012, and it's the lake in front of my house, on the opposite side to the one below. September Sweden is incredibly beautiful, and this captures  for me exactly what an ideal autumn looks like.





This was taken on self timer in 2011 by me in my back garden in Stockholm, Sweden. The sky is looking particularly beautiful in this photograph, and I think this encapsulates the long Swedish summer days very well. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



So before houses started springing up all over the place on my street in Sweden, it used to be very common to see these little furry garden destructors. And although they are a nuisance and my elderly neighbours have a personal vendetta against them for eating their azaleas, they really are cute in person.

So with these few examples, I can tell you that I am beyond excited to start my Photo Journalism module in September. (Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!)
