It's been absolutely dull in the wetlands that is Ireland. Our weather is so miserable I can't wear my new summer clothes. I wish for nothing more but the wonderful sunshine to hit my boring skin. I hope wherever you are in the world, you are having a wonderful day and with that a song for you to enjoy. I used my photoshop action to edit these photos so click on the free photoshop stuffs tab on top of my blog. <3

Summer Eve

2012-05-27T00:04:00.001+01:00

So I broke my camera last month and I have yet to take it to the repair centre in England. :( I miss her already. So for the mean time I am using my sister's point and shoot camera. It's not so bad. It takes normal photos and I just use photoshop to colour them better. You know what they say, it's not always the most expensive cameras that take the most beautiful photos. It's about the photographer, the people in it, the message it conveys. Photos are a time capsule. It's nice to have a personal touch to it. So no matter what your camera is, don't lose hope. Just keep shooting and doing what you love and everything will be just fine. If you want photoshop actions/curves, just follow my blog as I will gradually be posting the ones I use on mine.

I grew up in some hand me down clothes,
how quickly i grew out of those.
My mother's as broke as it goes,
I'm not the wealthiest man, I suppose.

And I'm thinking that it just don't taste quite right,
ten bucks for a coca-cola seems pretty overpriced.
And I'm tired of my bedless nights,
but I'm trying to make it all right.

And so I'm
Spending money on cars,
Spending money on clothes,
Spending money on cereal,
Spending money on hoes.
