Eu Sou o Número Quatro.

Já há alguns meses eu estava vendo esse tal de I Am Number Four na newsletter da Barnes and Noble, mas não tinha sequer me dado o trabalho de ver de que tipo de livro se tratava. Quando comecei a ver as propagandas do filme... bom, elas também não pareceram particularmente atraentes, mas eu devo admitir que vi muito poucas.

Sábado passado namorado me chamou pra irmos comer alguma coisa e ir assistir EU Sou o Número Quatro no cinema. OBS: EU tenho tido muito problema com filmes de pancadaria e gente se matando na tela. Mas topei.

É, eu gostei do filme. Ajuda o fato de o mocinho ser bonito, e tal. Mas o que eu acho que me fez gostar mais ainda foi a personagem da Diana Agron (não lembro o nome dela agora). Adorei o estilo dela. As roupas, o cabelo, os chapéus, e, principalmente, as câmeras fotográficas! APAIXONEI PELAS CÂMERAS!!!! Que lindo...



E mais: adorei o quarto dela. A quantidade de fotos, aquela mesa maravilhosa com mais de uma dúzia de câmeras... *.*

Ai, desejo muito aquilo tudo...

Projects, Photography and a bit more.

Had I mentioned this class?? I've finally decided to take an online class. I actually took the Scrap World Cup online class with Celine Navarro before this one, but it wasn't really what I want. But... this one is. I'm loving it, even though I haven't really started taking the pictures, I love how Shimelle takes us through the lessons, how naturally everything seems to flow.
I'm trying to start taking pictures, which I think I might get to do tomorrow. I'll try to take the prompts and challenges one at a time, and try to makke my own pace. It will definitely be fun.

Yesterday I found online the manual for my mother's camera. I'm trying to take everything in so that maybe I can actually get to use it for the first time in almost five years. I even took a couple of pictures today of the gorgeous view I have at work... But I have to confess I'm getting a little worried about the whole "photographing with film" thing. I haven't done that in quite a long time and I had forgotten how weird it feels not to know how the pictures are going to turn out. I guess that's the reason I got so interested in lomography a couple of months ago. Lomography makes this "not knowing feeling" becone the actual reason to photograph. (By the way, I'm still considering buying a lomography camera. I just think maybe I should get used to a normal one before I embrace a new adventure.)

And talking about cameras, the other one I'm pretty interested in is the Fuji Instax. I first read about it a couple of months ago and it stole my attention right away. I always loved the fascination of polaroids, which I used to think were pretty fantastic as a child. (No, I never had one... Sad...) Well, I was considering if I want a lomo, an instax or my mother's camera for my birthday, but since I already got this last one, I was thinking that if I actually get to use it in the 3 weeks left before my birthday I might ask for one. It would make the perfect birthday present (if it came with a bunch of boxes of film, obviously...).

And last but not least it's boyfriend's birthday friday. And I'm still not happy at all with his present... I wanted to find something really nice to give him, but it's getting quite hard. Oh, my...
