All Fall Down

I don't know why it is so hard for me to post when I am on break. You think it would be easier since I have more time. Apparently not! Anyway, how was every one's holiday? I will have to say mine was absolutely fantastic. I got a new camera! Like a nice one. I seriously almost started crying when I got it. Probably because it was the last thing I was expecting. I have been so stoked to try it out, so I grabbed my friend Katie and started my black and white film project. The song we did was "All Fall Down" by OneRepublic.

 

I know these photos are not film, but I did take the same pictures with film. I just have to go develop it. I couldn't resist shooting with my new camera, so here is a little sneak peak of what hopefully turned out on film.

 

 

 "Step out the door, and it feels like rain."

 "Take a breath, take a step, meet me down below"

 "Know that we all fall down."

 "Every one's the same from our fingers to our toes."

 "Whenever your world starts crashing down, that's where you'll find me."

 "Strong until you break."

"We just can't get it right, but we're on the road."



B&W Film Project

So you know how on my list of 20 Before 21 I put that I wanted to do a black and white film project? Well I figured out today what exactly I am doing, and I couldn't be more stoked! It might end up being a bit of a test run though. Especially since I haven't used film for about a year. Hopefully I will be able to get back into the swing of things.

I guess I should probably tell you what I am doing now. I have decided on doing a series of photos based on songs. Basically, I have chosen six songs that I am going to use, and with each song I will create a mini series of photographs. I will be going through each song and finding lyrics that mean something to me, and the photos will be my interpretation of those lyrics. Some of the songs I chosen were chosen just because it painted a picture in my head, and I knew instantly what I wanted to do with it. Other songs have a deeper meaning for me, and might not make sense to anyone else. I think that is ok though. They really mean something to me, and I think it will give those viewing them a little glimpse of my experiences and some of the things I have been through.

The six songs I have chosen are the following..

1. "All Fall Down" by OneRepublic
2. "The High Road" by Three Days Grace
3. "Yellow Light" by Of Monsters & Men
4. "Music Box" by Thrice
5. "Walk With Me" by Luna Lune
6. "Skinny Love" by Bon Iver

I have never been this excited about a project before. I am keeping my fingers crossed that everything will go well. I know I am so excited about this, because I am pretty much combining my two loves. Here is to hoping I can make some magic happen! Wish me luck!
