Do what you love & Love what you do!

Do what you love & Love what you do
This is so important because if you don't have any passion for what you then there is no point at all. Whatever you do is will just be empty and lack personality. Creating work that shows personality is so important for any Artist, Photographer, Designer ect.
Recently my little sister has been getting very creative and imaginative. As I don't always get to play with her, she will start making things from paper, tissue paper and any old scrap she can find. It's so amazing to watch her do this because if she's at this level of creativity now, if she later on decides to do an Art related career I'm going to enjoy watching her grow creatively.
This is something she did today with the paints I bought her and tissue paper:
For a 5 year old to do something like this is just amazing. I'm so proud of her. She said she did her drawing on the tissue paper because 'Mr Maker did it' and I love the delicate effect it made.

Neglect

























Really do hate when this happens because it leave me unfocused and mad as a hatter. Urgh. Company Magazine columnist Jameela advised all the girl's out there to wear their heart on their sleeves. I suppose it's summer and we should have fun. But this is far from being fun, it's getting serious. I really do suck at dealing with this so I will try and put it to the back of my mind until exams are finished...
It just happened at the most inconvenient time EVER! Jeez, but they do say it happens when you least expect it. So there I go.

Anyway this 'it' has made me neglect pretty much everything other thing that completes me. I have serious plans for this summer, I didn't make any space for 'it' to happen.
Solution?
No quite sure yet. Music is no help, every song I choose to listen to relates back to 'it'. I'll just try not to think about 'it', try and distract myself. I really want to do well in my exams and finish my work for Bournville.

As for the photograph shown in this post. Beautiful, right? New York V-J Day photograph, taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt and published in Life in 1945. This photograph just completes my love for black and white photography. Can't capture real images like this these days. Although some argue the image was staged. Oh well it's still beautiful.
