A deeper thought ...

Well I've had some time to think more into my last assingment, I feel I did get a lot from my partners photos although I did find it a struggle as I only had a few photos of her home, I feel I would have got a much greater understanding on who she is as a person if she was in the photos herself. This makes me wonder on why she did not send photos of her self growing up in this task, does this say anything about her personality? is she scared of being judged? or scared of a secret being reveild that she would like to keep hidden. If so is it societys fault and is she just one out of many who feel the same. Magazines and tellivision are constantly pressuring people on looking good pushing re-appering images of what is acceptable and what's not. Girls I feel suffer a great deal more than boys in this area. My partner in this task had refared to my apperance in almost every picture "look good", "wears quite a bit of make-up ...Again this shows she likes to look good and make an effort"." hair always looks well".

I found my partners pick up on my make up quite facinating, to my self I were it because I enjoy the process of applying it, the colours, to me its all about fun and that enjoyment of getting ready to go out that night. I love experementing with different looks to create individuality based on mood I'm feeling that night. Seeing from another ones point of veiw I guess my bright make-up could be singled out more, especaily if your someone who dosnt were much themselfs. Therfore have i wonder if i have unconciously fallen victim of the powers behind marketing off the high glossy glam mags and there ideoligy of the correct 'image' makeing my self splash out my own money on big expensive make-up brands , MAC, BENEFIT, URBAN DEKAY.
 I also raise the question of how confident women in their own skin these days? Thinking of a typical weekend out all girls are out dressd to kill, full face on, tangoed, stilletos, extentions, and more 'fackory' all down to the preassue of looking good in todays socioty. Which makes me think what percentages of  us girls in your average nightclub are actually going natural , feeling confident in there selfs to step out the door whithout doing ther face up and spending lots of time aand money on that new swanky outfit..... I'm guessing not many.

My partner found it a little hard to get a deeper thought into my personality, I think maybe prehaps she was looking at the surface my apperance, not saying she was fully concious of doing it but think this overshadowed some things that where apparent in the picture .

Note s from partners blog from photo I had sent.

I agree with some things said, allthough her asumptions of music taste was a little off, I actually have quite an individual taste in music, i took a lot of inspiration of music from my dad and his love of classic 80s acts like the sex pistols, Echo and the bunny men, The Doors and one of my all time favorites The smiths. I love going to gigs and seeing local unsinged acts, thers several gig tickets and flyers of bands I have seen and been to on the door as well as pictures of Pete Doherty and Carl Barat former members of Libertines one of my many favorites. I know it might have been a little hard to tell in the picture though, there are also cards from one of my best places to go out in Glasgow 'The arches' which was not picked up on.

I can be really shy at times and i think this picture shows this so well with my facial expressions and stance, I am most happy and confident when i amm surrounded with my family and freinds which I think was also shown well in other pictures.

 My partner had picked up on not seeing a lot of jewellery or being not so expensive which was rather true, If im out and see somthing i like i would normally just buy it where it with an outfit to cordanate then dump it in a box and never go back to for a long time which was quite interesting. After looking at this picture though i realised the braclet I was wering was one of my most favorites and least expensive on my part. Its from one of my closest freinds whene we first knew eatch other on a night out we both exchanged a braclet we were wearing i gave her a little blue one which she still owns and i have this little beeded pinky purply coloured one. Which now that i stop and think about it is actually one of my most commonly worn peices of jewellery. Sure its not worth much but behind its apperance to me its meaningfull and represents in a way that strong bond and freindship, which was really nice to think aboutt so will have to thank my partner for bringing that up.

My interest in jewellery is still apparent in the picture, the pictures behind me where peices I made and photographed on my inspired theme of sealife and entrapment 'feeling claustrophobic'. These were a series i studied  and developed. Maybe if looked a little closer could have linked the bouy and the design peices on the wall looking at their form. Prehaps a more time spent into looking at the photo would have came to the conclusion, although one thing that may be apparent may be a totally different case to another, as peoples veiws and how they see things are different. And maybe that is why my makeup wearing  and getting dressed up ways was looked at a lot more, because it is different to my partner and what she normally does ie more girly girl thank make-up wearing, and thats why it stands out to notice a lot more. As we have a different veiw at things, which I find really interesting and found was an enjoyable experement.
