weekend

Well I met up with a friend yesterday. She is amazing in Concert photography and got me going as well. This weekend I will be in Germany at a Gothic festival. And i hope that i can make some very cool people photos as well as the bands of course. I just love how those gothic people dress up, and they are excellent to pose for the camera. So we will see. And i hope i can show you some as well. If anyone is interested.

So when going home i forgot my phone there, so now i need to be in the train for an hour, get my phone and go back. Im a little ill but okay I will drag a art book and a normal book with me. And read. Also when im back home im thinking of telling how i made those last spreads. And post it as well as here as on lj. not that im so great, i mean i just got started. But i like to share it because i feel i learned a lot in the last few weeks. And someone needs to tell me how you can do that all minimalistic or not that much color out there. And i made 4 stamps myself. I SO LOVE IT!




update

Hi peepz,

I was gone for a little while, so busy with school and exams and work and birthday.
yes i turned 25 now and suppose to me even more mature then i used to be before.

Did not had much time to be creative but start again!







Almost Lover

Does any of you ever had one of those almost lovers? That one that is stuck in your mind...being there and even after it did not turned into something he is still present?
Gosh. There was this one guy in Norway I quite liked but due to his situation, and us living in totally diferent countries and also me, it did not worked out. But this song...is just so....like how I felt right after you know...
so just wanted to share:

Almost Lover - A Fine Frenzy

Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick
Well, I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

[Chorus]
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images
And when you left, you kissed my lips
You told me you would never, never forget
These images
No
Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

[Chorus]
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that
Easy to walk right in and out
Of my life?

I bet you were just fine
