Hey guys.

I realise I haven't been active lately and I apologise for that, I've been busy with college assignments, various photoshoots and generally lazying around playing a couple awesome new games that are now in my possession.

To quickly get you up to speed to what I've been up to...

I've been creating some window-frame mount boards for an assignment in photography class. I will be choosing two images that have to be printed in black and white using both a shallow and wide depth of field. I haven't done the images yet, but I have some plans that could make some awesome shots. I wanna make a good impact on these prints so that they'll possibly be showcased in the college itself.

I have been doing a couple photoshoots with friends, both just for fun and by request. During the last weekend I spent my Saturday and Sunday away crashing at a friend's house with a couple others and we all went around Perth finding various locations and taking photographs of each other dressed up in different cosplay outfits. My friend Jo was dressed as Dante from Devil May Cry 4; Chris was Organization XIII Riku from Kingdom Hearts 2; and Emily went as Link from The Legend of Zelda, Trunks from Dragon Ball Z, Riku from Kingdom Hearts, Zexion from Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, and a humanized version of Nine Tails from Pokémon. We shot at both The Lost City and the UWA (University of Western Australia) which were fantastic locations.

During last week my friends Bryanna, Paige and Ellee requested me to take photographs of them in their Shugo Chara! outfits. My friend Grace also joined in and helped me in assisting with ideas and such. Everyone looked great and I took them back down to UWA for some lovely shots.

As for the lazying around part... I bought Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen and have spent most of my weekend mashing buttons and killing dark monsters. It's an amazingly addictive game and I highly recommend you all to buy it! If you also have a copy of it on Xbox 360, look me up and hire my pawn: Mikamiii (Emma)

Anywho, that's me. I'll post some links to the photographs I have taken on the bottom of this journal entry.

Hope everyone is well;
Mika
