WADDUP IN DA HOOOOOD!
(I really do talk like this but with quite a posh SA/UK accent)
So! I've crawled out from under my cosy little rock to do some homework!
@rambo asked this week "What do you collect?"
Well, I actually have a very strange collection- not strange-creepy or strange-bizarre, more like strange-random.
I collect... *drum roll*
I collect IMAGES
Pretty strange, but I sit for hours looking through my galleries of collected images, it's like therapy to me. I see beauty in all things and I want to fill my mind with as much beauty as possible. I think I have figured out some reasons why these are the only things I collect-
1. I'm OBSESSED with the creative arts. This includes everything- from typography, tattoos, fine art, poster illustration, to fashion, product design, DIY projects, food photography, nature photography and interior photography.
2. I admire and stalk a LARGE group of fine artists, designers, photographers and tattoo artists on Instagram. More than 200 the last time I checked.
3. I hate clutter. I grew up with a CLASS A HOARDER in the form of my infuriating mom so I feel aversion to anything that isn't inherently useful that takes up a large amount of space. I do, however, get warm and tingly in my underpant area when I see a beautifully decorated interior. It doesn't have to be stark and minimal, just visually exciting.
4. I seem to move around lot. Also, most apartments in central city areas just don't have the space for clutter and unnecessary boxes.
5. I'm an artist when I can get over my control issues and actually relax enough to create some art, so these collections inspire me and act as reference for my artworks.
I know what you're thinking... loads of people save cool images on there Pinterest boards or on their computers, so why is this girl considering herself a collector? On my phone ALONE I have a total of 4500-ish images in neatly organised gallery folders. Who even knows how many I have on my external hard drive and computer? Thank GOD this only takes up virtual space otherwise I would have a SERIOUS PROBLEM.
Before I tootle off- I dunno if you noticed but I have a new set in MR! Shot by my soulmate, @puffin, we snuck this set in at sunset after a long day of shooting sets of all the Cape Town girls. It was spontaneous and natural; I was little sunburnt and my make up was the worse for wear but I think it kinda adds to the honesty of the set.
That's all from me, lovelies!
I'd love to know what you all collect! Is it as random as my collection?
