It is upsetting that I have only stumbled upon this amazing woman a few days ago. Her images are so inspirational and the first time I saw them I couldn't help but think "this is real art", different to the photos I take that are so alike many other photographic 'artists'. Alison really brings something new to the table and is so inspiring to me. I hope that one day I will be as creative and inspirational as her works and herself.

things to learn from Matt Edgar on Vimeo.
1. How old were you when you first started taking artistic photos?
I have always taken photos. When I was little my dad would buy me disposable cameras on camping trips but i'd always run out of frames before we got there! I started seriously taking pictures about a year ago.
2. What are your favourite camera/s and equipment?
I only use my Canon AE-1 (which was my mom's)
3. Who/ what are your inspiration for photos?
My friends are my models and they are my inspiration.
4. Do you put a lot of planning into your works or are they more spontaneous?
Sometimes my shoots are spontaneous and sometimes they're more set up. Like if I have a set idea in mind then I prepare ahead of time for it. But if I just feel like going out and taking pictures, I do.
5. What's your favourite subject for photos/ favourite type of photography?
I like all types of photography but I tend to take portraits more.
6. What would you like to achieve with your art?
I'm not trying to really achieve anything really... I just like taking pictures, that's about it.
7. How did you get into photography & what do you like about it?
Like I said before, I've always have liked taking pictures! I like being able to capture someone's personality or a memory through a still picture.
8. Do you often edit your photos?
Never.
9. Do you prefer film or digital?
I only shoot with film!
10. Is there anything else you'd like to add?
I don't want to be a photographer when I grow up; I just want to be happy.

I'm finding myself consumed by art these days; anything visually interesting.
It's all I can think about, it's all I look at, it's all I do.
If only I were more capable in the field of drawing, I'd have a better chance at fulfilling the visions I see that aren't photos.
It would really make things so simpler.
I really want to expand my photography but the restrictions are killing me;
time, money, location, transport, subject, lenses.
watch these, they're great:

So today began the first official week of year 12. I'm actually liking it so far. Classes are good, we have more freedom and today I was home by 1pm.
I love this so much:
