Seriously tired, I have been spending far too much time looking at Lightroom lately. Currently going through all the photographs from My Ruin at White Rabbit and it’s taking forever! I can’t really complain though… Having to look at picture after picture of Tairrie B isn’t really all that bad ;)

Will be onto Resolution 242 at Ride photos next and then Skank n Stomp presents DAVE The Drummer at Voodoo Lounge. I’ve still got lots of photos of Jenivieve and Faye to go through as well ones from the shoot I did with Twiggy Von Lea for Mark Bosley Photography. Somehow need to find time to do college work as well… It’s not easy when you’re shooting pretty much constantly outside of college to juggle everything but I’ll try and figure it out, I’m staying positive!

This Thursday at White Rabbit is Top Billin’ presents Cyrus Malachi, I expect to see all you Plymouth hip hop heads there!

Exciting stuff!

I’ve been talking to some really amazing people about collaborating together recently, hoping to make 2012 my best year yet! Not going to mention too much until things are more finalised but expect a lot more work from me in the future whether you like it or not!
Everything that has recently knocked me on my ass has made me even more motivated to not let the nasty people in this world win. Getting involved with a lot more things and just generally feeling pretty inspired creatively. When I stop and think about all the problems I’m having at the moment I undoubtedly end up really stressed and down but by turning my attitude around and trying to be more positive I’m feeling, in some ways, the most motivated I’ve ever been. In a way I feel the need to thank the assholes for making me stronger and giving me the kick up the ass I needed to make more of my life than they ever will! It might sound big headed and I don’t mean it to in the slightest, every person that keeps trying to knock me down just makes me more inspired to turn it into something positive instead. So go on, keep on trying, I won’t let you win! Hate doesn’t make you a better person and what you give out is only going to come back around and bite you in the ass sooner or later ;)

Current editing to-do list: 
  • Laura’s maternity photographs.
  • Some shots for a Rigsmith Hi Fi night that I photographed before everything got so dramatic.
  • More shots from my recent photograph with the amazing Jenivieve.
  • Photographs and even a bit of video from the Occupy Plymouth occupation centre opening.
  • Some old, but yet to be seen, photographs of the beautiful Faye.
  • Last night’s (Fractal (Pessimist | Arkaik | Centrik | Overlook | Clarity | Comfort) at Voodoo Lounge shots and maybe even a little bit of video.
  • Possibly some photographs from a modelling shoot I did with Mark Bosley a while back.
  • Videos of some local MCs spitting a few bars.
  • A little bit of video from SIKA Studios tent at Aeon festival just as soon as I get the direct audio and learn a little more about video editing. 
  • Some family portraits.

Busy busy busy but that’s the way I like it! After tonight I’ll be adding shots from Foundation Music’s Crimbo Bubbler to that list as well, hopefully see you there! :) 

In other news I’m now accepting bookings for more ‘traditional’ photo shoots such as family portraits, maternity photographs, weddings, etc. A lot of my friends are either currently pregnant or have just had their babies (congratulations to you all, what a lovely Christmas present!) so I’ll be doing some shots for them.

If you’re stuck for something to buy your loved ones for Christmas have you considered booking a photo shoot? Can do all sorts of packages depending on what you want at you don’t have to set a date, they can do that in the new year at a time that suits them. Feel free to ask for info in either my ask box or via Facebook (my email inbox is a bit full at the moment so it’s taking me a while to get back to everyone what with everything I’m doing but I promise you I’m not ignoring any of you and you’ll receive your responses as soon as possible).

Anyways, back to editing!

    Big ups to the Melty Face & Top Billin’ crews and everyone involved in making the two nights happen! Shout outs to Stig of the Dump, the talented graff artists who made two sexy girls even bloody sexier with their art, the girls themselves who danced around on stage whilst Stig was on wearing not a lot, Si Hayes for putting on Top Billin’, the Melty Face lads for Dubstep Tuesday, all the DJs & MCs involved in both nights, White Rabbit, and the rest of you fabulous people! Photographs from both nights will be up on my work blog and Facebook as soon as possible, importing them ready to edit through and then upload as I write this ;)

    Blacklight & Disney Pin Ups Projects

    I want to get my Blacklight and Disney Pin Up projects underway again now that I seem to be recovering from the whole slipped disc scenario. If you were a model that agreed to be a part of either project can you please email zinzig.photo@gmail.com and let me know if you’re still interested in taking part! I don’t mind if you’re not I just want to get things going again so need to find out who is still on board. This is more relevant to the Disney project as each model was assigned a character and I’ll need to find replacements for those who can no longer take part. If you’re in the southwest (Cornwall & Devon primarily) or willing to travel to Plymouth and are interested in taking part in the Blacklight series I’m producing please don’t hesitate to get in contact to be considered! Looking for models, artists, make up artists, stylists, hairdressers, and people with interesting ideas! I want the project to be as varied as possible and a way to collaborate with people from all different disciplines! 

    PS: Please ignore the errors with my theme when viewing individual post pages, trying to find a better theme now!

    As the 1% would rather keep a building empty than have it opened as a community space for the people, Occupy Plymouth invites you all to highlight your discontent by joining us on a demonstration on Saturday the 14th January. An event space will soon be created so please repost it to your walls, invite your friends and show the corrupt and the greedy that we will not tolerate such social injustice. If they are preventing our peaceful occupation of their buildings for the good of the community we will highlight the injustices by occupying our streets.

    What do “normal” girls do when they get really bad insomnia?

    Because over the past few days I’ve completely re-arranged my flat and made it so there’s so much more space. I’ve also completely taken apart my computer, cleaned it all out, re-built it to fix a couple of things, and now I’m about to re-install the operating system as 64bit instead. There is good reason, it’s been being playing up and making my life really hard with regards to editing photographs and such so am sorting it all out so I can be more productive :) I’m sure a lot of other girls probably sit and paint their nails or something instead though? I don’t know, I kind of fail at this being female thing.

    PS- Will write a proper update on a lot of things soon, got some things that I need to say but have got too much to do right now. Sorry to those of you waiting on photos from me, I’ve had a LOT of unpredictable things to deal with outside of work that I really need to get sorted out. I’m doing things as quickly as possible, when I’ve got a second I’ll write a post updating people on my situation. Thanks for your patience everyone and I’m really sorry for having to let you all down lately :(

    PPS- Also, if anyone can do anything at all to help those at Occupy Plymouth then please do! They just posted

    “URGENT REQUEST: If you have any windbreaks you’d be willing to donate, please get in touch or drop them down! The wet weather is bearable but the heavy wind is a nightmare!! Cheers :D”

    Some of you must be in a position to help!! Information here & here.

    FOUNDATION MUSIC PRESENT RUN TINGZ CRU FT BLACKOUT JA
Catch me photographing this at Voodoo Lounge this Friday! It’s a fundraiser for The Red Cross World Disasters Appeal so if the good music that will be being pumped out of the Rigsmith HiFi soundsystem wasn’t enough to get you down (you mad?) then come down knowing that you’re supporting charity and doing a good deed… We all need to top up on good karma every so often after all ;)
Clicking the photograph will take you to the event on Facebook.
