I have this thing for roofs


First of all I know none of these people/cats in these photos. Although I do know the first one is in Milan and the second somewhere in Britain.
When I was younger I'd crawl out my window and sit on my roof. I don't know why but I always felt calm and happy when I'd just go out there and stare at the world from another view.
Now I wish I could view the world and capture what I see with my camera. There are so many places I want to go in my life before I chose one.
I watched this documentary on Annie Leibovitz yesterday. She is one of the most interesting people. She's a photographer who started out at Rolling Stone when the mag was just beginning. She eventually started shooting for Vogue and Vanity Fair. She's probably the most famous celebrity photographer. That cover of Demi Moore when she was pregnant was one of her most famous. The picture that struck me the most was this one of John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
This is a bad quality photo. It was taken 4 hours before he was murdered. How powerful is that. It's so strong too with the contrast between his body and her dark clothes. God I love photography.
I went to this new restaurant called Melt with my parents today. SO GOOD.
click that link and go to dine and click on the melt page then view melt online and you can see some gorgeous pics of this beautiful place.
Going to see Dreamgirls again with my mum tomorrow!
I'm so addicted to that soundtrack...don't worry Tannah Eileen I'm burning them discs for ya.
