i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

I am in love with these series of photos called "The Ninth Floor" by Jessica Dimmock.

exhibition.

2010-07-08T00:04:00.000-07:00

I had my first exhibtion there over the weekend with The Homeless Gallery in D Light studios. I am quite happy with how it went! It is such an amazing space and everyone working there was uber lovely! Check it out if your looking for a space to do anything! The place was packed on the opening and I think like 1000 people turned up for the opening alone! There was a free bar sponsored by Abosolut which I say attracted a few people too! I wish I could of shown more photos to do with the project I am working on but yes money is an issue that never seems to fade. There was a lot of different photographers exhibiting and some of them were really interesting. I also got published in the special 00 edition of Blow magazine to promote the exhibtion so well chuffed about that too. If can get your hands on a copy, its actually an amazing magazine and its A3 so rather fun to look at!

Doing the exhibition has also inspired me start some more projects and I've roped Ciara in (I think) to doing one of them! It was cool seeing people look at your photos which are usually packed away in boxes of negatives but also extremely nerve wrecking. I suppose getting the first one out of the way helps though!

2010-03-24T13:49:00.000-07:00

This is Neave.

She's one of the most amazing and interesting people I've ever met.

She inspires me in ways she doesn't even know.

We drink wine all day and talk about our theories on love.

We have the same dream, to fall in love.

I'm glad that we became friends again after drifting apart.

I want to thank her, for making me realise things, letting me stalk her these past few weeks and being an amazing friend

you only messed the sheets.

Recently, I can't stop having baths.

I have to sit in the dark with loads of candles and a load of bubble bath and some nice music playing.

Its my place to think.

freedom from myself

2010-03-06T01:03:00.001-08:00

I dont even know why I felt the need to take this

It was late one night and I had to.

i'm weird.

This is Ciara Mc Elwee!

She's my one of my best friends.

She's beyond amazing.

She's one of the most influential people on my life.

We have been soul mates since the moment we met.

We rob roses and fall in love with poets!

We lock ourselves in hostel rooms and eat tomatoes!

I couldn't get through a day without talking to her.

I'd feel lost in this big old world without her.

I'm so glad I finally found another weirdo with the same tacky interests as me!

19.

2009-11-27T03:27:00.000-08:00

its nineteen years since the day i was born and its weird to think my mam was only 18. the thought of me, being the age i am now, with a one year old kid is kind of scary. i don't thank her enough for being such a good parent and i know i should more.

i know i'm not old or anything but i always hate thinking of how quickly time can go and how fragile life is. everything we do could be the last time we do it, which sounds very pessimistic but i like being aware if it.

i dont think i have accomplished a lot to date which i suppose could be argued but yea, i'm such an ambitious person that i constantly strive for perfection which i know is unreachable and even untouchable.

nineteen years is a long time but at the same time it really is just an insignificant amount of time. I was on the phone to my cousin last night and he told me of how his grandparents on the other side of the family are now 94 and have been married 72 years! 72 years! i don't think i could ever send that amount of time with one person let alone to live that long!

as the cliche saying goes, Seize the day and hold little faith in the future!

Sometimes things dont have to be perfect for everything to go ok.
We all need some inconsistencies within our lives to take us of our pedestels once and awhile.
At the moment, everything just seems to be flowing, no swells or pot holes just floating and I love it.

Happiness is something I constantly strive for and can feel at the tips of my fingers but I can never just quite grab it and hold onto it for it long enough fot it to become a habit.

I agree that we are influenced by the people who we surround ourselves by and for once in my life I am experiencing that.

Everything is going okay and I love it.

recently, i've had a lot of doubt about my place in my course but self doubt is something i am best at.

sometimes just a simple sentence or a few little words written in someone's blog can inspire and reassure you.

i know the person who has helped me will never read this but i suppose all i can give is a few words in my blog to say thank you.

"I sometimes think I have forgotten everything

Why does a person live at all

if he forgets everything anyway?"

Europe

2009-07-13T02:39:00.000-07:00

well that was the most amazing trip of my life

i really wish i could stay traveling forever!

Paris
one word:amazing
well except being like molested and having my purse stolen!!
not fun put it that way!!
the hostel in paris was just amazing, well actually we nearly got thrown out several times and had the police called because we couldn´t control our drug habits and as we were "americans" we were very loud
we stayed in the gay district of paris in Bastille, we learned this after every club was packed with men holding hands
everyone was unbelievable there
one man compared me and his dog to beauty and the beast, thank god i was the beauty
aha
we met some unforgettable people in Paris,
Nick from London, who was saturated in confidence and blended in perfectly with us
John from Virginia, the Party Bomb wouldn´t of been anything without him!
Brian from Virginia, well. .. . .
Ash and his crew from Australia, "Emma mange la beouf?"
Paris was just unreal, drinking on the streets, everyone was so friendly
Disneyland was amazing too except waiting an hour and a half for one ride, not fun

staying up till 5 in the morning wrapping ourselves in pink ribbon doesn't sound that fun

believe me it is

singing with Nick and Roberto, aw

oh Roberto, put it this way he wasn't the most subtle of characters!

asking Ellen what she wore between her legs and then whispering, "hopefully nothing"

Montmatre was possibly the most beautiful place i have ever been

just sitting on them steps with Aoife, Ellen, Ciara and Leonora listening to a man playing guitar

wow

Antwerp
well we missed our train to Amsterdam and had to stay here for the night
we arrived at half 1 in the morning and left at like 10 so we didn´t see much of the place
but the legend night porter in the hostel who took us in and made us up a lil room to stay the night!!!

Amsterdam
oh my
put it this way, i was on a constant high there
hostel was a kip
but still fun
sharing a room with 10 Norwegians
we thought they were all gay
getting stripped in the room
parading around in our underwear
well i got abit suspicous when i woke up to one of them staring at me and Emma in our underwear
well, we found out they weren´t gay!!
after having a party in the shower and sleeping clothesless
amazing place though

we past this hotel in amsterdam with around 10 massive jeeps outside and we just knew there was someone there

well to our delight, it was NE-YO

so we decided to wait like a half an hour for him to come out

he drove by and ignored our screams

thank god!!!!!

Berlin
so we finally get to berlin after a very long train journey!!!

and we have to find our hostel, so we get off at the metro station we were told to

standing there, we were ahh jesus i hope this place is easy to find only to turn around to see a 7 floor building with like 200 windows with a massive blue sign saying " GENERATOR HOSTEL"

we found it!!!

so we had a room of 6 booked, but there was actually 7 of us so Leonora was snuck in!!

we then discovered our room was directly above the entrance 6 floors up!

perfect for throwing things at people!!!

i fell in love with berlin

its such an underrated place

people are so helpful

vintage shopping in berlin was unreal, in love with my brown leather camera bag, my lil rose brooch and pony scarf!

lets just say ellen was in her element though!

6 jumpers, 2 hairbands, 2 scarfs, 1 pair of earrings, 1 dress and 1 suitcase later ellen is all shopped out

nightlife in berlin wasn't what we thought, well actually we just couldn't anywhere

there was this once place called the spin club which was advertised everywhere we went, so we thought it had to be good

well we were wrong

we went in and there was actually 5 people that was including the three of us in there!!!!!!

we went to another club which is supposed to be the 4th best club in europe, well whoever done them statistics obviously never went to the place

our hostel in berlin was invaded by a school group of 16 year olds

one night we were all just sitting in our room, knock on the door and two very annoying 16 yr old german boys invited themselves in

they actually would not leave!!!

we all got into bed, turned off the lights and still no budge

even leonora's " Have you ever heard of FUCK OFF" didn't work

well unfortunately leonora had to leave us early because of her lil flute folk fiddle contest!!!

we were all extremely upset, well i dont any of us as much as ciara!

one night while we were out in a club

we see ciara dancing with this guy all grinding up against each other

then she turns around to see tears rolling down her face

well we all suddenly think something happened her

oh no she's "sad" leonora is leaving!!

ahahaha

then emma informed us that her lover ash from paris was coming to berlin and could they stay the night in our room

of course none of us care

well when they arrived is when we started to care!!

they took over our room a little!!

you'd be surprised how many extra people you can fit in one hostel room!!

Freiburg
well just say things didn't go to plan there

just some person was very heartless and never thought about his actions or people's feelings

freiburg was well interesting for the night we stayed there

very boring city, nothing really to do other then visit the "castle walls"

our hostel there was so beautiful though

it had bob dylan lyrics on the lockers

and old pianos and guitars all over the place

and a big bowl of love heart sweets at reception!

freiburg would be a good place to go if you were going with your husband for a romantic getaway

it just didn't appeal to us at all

so we left!!

2 days early!!!

: D

Salzburg
the home of the sound of music

where our hostel played the dvd constantly!!!

how fun!!

not really

after the first day the novelty really wore off i can tell you!!

what surprised me, was the amount of people watching it each time it was on!!!!

so the city of salzburg is one of the most beautiful places i have ever been

the buildings and all the different squares were breath-taking

nightlife in salzburg was down to two places, O'malleys and Shamrocks

yes, both irish pubs!!!

both extremely boring but one of them had bulmers pear so that was me happy!!

and also everyone in our hostel seemed to be from ireland too!!

there was the lads from mullingar

the lads from derry

the girls from belfast

and daniel from harolds cross!!!

salzburg must have a connection with ireland that we dont know about

a lil bit of drama in salzburg for someone

but thats all forgotten about now

and well we know ellen had fun in salzburg!!

mike? mark? texas? bon iver??

aha

florence

what a beautiful lil city

except for the heat when your dragging an 18kg bag over cobbled stones

: ( not fun

ok so our hostel in florence wasn't the nicest of places

actually it was a pure kip

the guy who ran it looked like a porn director

open white shirt

hairy chest and like a million gold chains hanging down from his neck

ok so our door to our room was glass right in the reception!!

lovely!!!

and we thought it was the only room in the hostel, great a 9 bed female dorm only

great place to be staying

we were terrified, not going to lie!!

so we said we would stay out as long as possible and then go back

well florence didn't have much nightlife to offer

not that we could find anyway!

some guy thought i was asking him out when i asked was there any good bars to go to

so we sat in a square and listened to some guy play guitar

and then we went back to the hostel to discover it was buzzing with people and that we weren't the only people staying in it which calmed all our nerves!

ellen, ciara, aoife and myself got up early the next morning and paid a visit to the Uffizi gallery

we had to wait an hour for it to open but we were like first in the queue to get in

which you also needed your passports to get in!

weird

well the paintings there were so beautiful

i nearly cried seeing the adoration of the magi and the annuciation!!

the primavera was so stunning too

so we rambled around for an hour

back to the hostel to discover emma and sorcha still asleep!!!

we got them up and walked around the shops of florence for the rest of the day before heading down to rome!!

we were broke and couldn't afford anything so we left pretty quick!!

i wish we couldn't of spent more time in florence

but awell

: D

2009-06-23T15:31:00.000-07:00

when you look at me
I'll be digesting your legs
cause I can hardly see
what's in front of me these days
and those days, too.

Fed up.

2009-05-11T15:00:00.000-07:00

I'm sick of doors being left wide open,

and there only being me left in the room

to get up and close it.

I'm sick of the leaves blowing into my garden,

and building up in that same corner and

there's only me left to rake them up.

I'm sick of sitting in the porch for the ice cream van

but instead, I'm just all alone

listening to the distant tune.

I'm sick of having to write how I feel in words

in this little book instead of just standing up and

screaming out loud.

daisy chains and flowing hair.

I might even defer my place if I get it, I just need a change of scenery

oh and there a futon and its a double bed so everyone can come over and party!

The story of a girl.

Mornings are the worst.

The big decision of wether or not to get of bed today. To bother the effort and get up and get dressed, face another day.

The question she always asks herself is would anyone notice?

"I suppose one more day wont hurt" she thinks.

Still in an oversized shirt she wore to bed, she drags herself down the stairs.

Silence.

Not a voice to be heard.

She pours herself a glass of water, no breakfast, eating will only make the anxiety worse.

She's watching her figure.

Her mobile lies on the kitchen table.

No missed calls.

No new texts.

The plastic still clings onto the screen. It's hardly been used in its two years of life.

She takes out the book her mother had given her.

"Maybe this will help you get out of your little phase", the girl mimics her mothers voice.

She flicks through the pages, they might as well be empty, she thinks that would make more sense to her.

All the different chapters she flicks through, she finally stops on one ; 18 Finding Love Again

Moments pass, the girls fingers tap the table as she become anxious over what to do.

Moments pass, the girl turns the page. . .. .

Today.

it started three weeks ago on the lower floor, apprehensive, excited.

the shutters slide open, closed, open, closed.

you watch people's faces as their lives flood in through the sliding glass doors.

Your standing there, smiling.

there is nothing you can do.

you watch people's faces as their lives just drain away through the sliding glass doors.

in one building, separated by only a staircase.

Your standing there, hopeless

I changed my mind on airports.

Tomorrow

Look up, the stars.

they dance around the sky for only us to see.

they mimic the headlights of the cars as they pass, twinkling as they pass a new corner.

the lump in my throat is growing, yet still streams of tears escape and cascade down every crevice on my skin.

i walk ahead of everyone, hoping no one notices somethings wrong.

the occasional "slow down" or "cold night eh?" murders the silence.

i just pull my scarf up covering more of my face, swallow away the possibility of tears and let spill" i suppose"

tomorrow is going to be hard.

I wanted to photograph my mum in her every day life, I wanted nothing to be posed and merely document her day. I used polaroid because they give a raw picture of how things are and they can't be photoshopped. I think we forget about the people who help us get places and I just wanted to do this to make myself realise how much she does for everyone.
