Camera

Here is a picture of my SLR camera with two of my lenses. This camera was a birthday present for my 16th birthday from my mother when I told her I want to go into photography. I love my mother because she is very supportive of what I do. In year 10 I decided because I'm not of legal age to get a job I would find ways to make my own money. First I started by ordering things like popular watches or belts on the internet then i would add maybe 20 pound's or more onto it and sell it on in order to make a profit. I later got tired of it because sometimes when I ordered something I would wait up to a month for my customers to come and collect they're item. With the money I got from this I bought myself a small fujifilm and decided I would start taking pictures. People saw my pictures and liked them and started asking me to take pictures for them. I asked my mother if she would help buy a SLR and she did for 16th. In year 11 i started taking pictures at partys and small events and even started recording videos later on. I have always been interested in media and videos and still photography and I hope to get into that sort of field in the future.

Some Signs Of Spring

Finally i woke up this Sunday morning to find some sun, as we had been seeing some unexpected weather for spring. I was very happy to see this weather that I decided I would celebrate by wearing a dress to church. When returning from church i was looking out of my balcony window and I decided I liked the way the sun was shining onto the houses opposite my own so I would take a picture. I took a picture of this to show summer is coming. This means fun and sun when college is done and as per usual I am very excited about it.

Creams

My and two good friends of mine decided to treat ourselves and go to creams. I took a picture to show my usual order and my friends orders in the background. I bought myself the strawberry delight, which is a waffle covered in strawberry's and strawberry sauce and some ice-cream. I like to treat myself occasionally especially when I feel like I have worked hard and deserve it. I'm not usually a desert person but I do like to go out to eat once in while just because I'm catching up with my friends or loved ones.

SFX

Here is a picture of my ID card. I have been a student at SFX since September 2012. I attended primary school and secondary school in my area so to move to clapham was a big step for me, but I was happy because I felt like I was growing up and becoming more independent. I don't really like my ID picture so i focused the lens more on the college name and my name. I took a picture of this because obviously when I am representing myself I am also representing the college I attend, so I decided it would be a good idea to show my ID pass.

Braids

Here is a picture of my current hairstyle. These are called braids or single plaits. This hairstyle is mostly done by African or Carribean people. Braids are one of my well known hairstyles since primary school. I love the hairstyle weather big braids or small braids. This time i decided to add the color burgundy. This has become one of my favorite colors I now own a lot of burgundy clothing and even matching converses. I took a picture of my braids as I am known for having different styles of braids. Of-course these braids were done by one and only mother.

Pay Day

Pay days first purchase. I did quite a lot of overtime this past month so when pay day came i got a good amount so I decided to treat myself. Majority of my friends have done shisha before and I wanted to try it so i decided to buy a Hookah. While trying it I decided to take a picture. I thought it tasted very nice and it was a nice investment. I also felt good to be trying something from a different culture.

Pay days second purchase was a pair of Air flights 2013. These trainers are exclusive as I was told in JD and I haven't seen anybody with it so I decided to treat myself to a pair. Ive become interested in trainers since I started college as that's all I wear to college. I think my trainer collection is going to grow as I keep getting paid and I am looking forward to it.

Harris Academy Merton

I decided to take a trip to my secondary school and take a picture of it. From year 7 to year 11 I attended Harris Academy Merton located In pollards hill. My secondary school is 3 bus stops from my house. I have a lot of memories from my secondary school both good and bad, I wont even lie I miss attending school sometimes even though I like the independence at college. Secondary school is probably where I changed most. When I started secondary school I was very quiet, with no confidence and too myself. Throughout secondary school i learned to accept myself, I also grew some confidence and became more comfortable.
