Oh, distractions..

Love Birds

So today was defiantly a 'write my dissertation day'.

However,

instead,

I have taken: Over 40 photographs,

and been wrapped in photoshop/composite ecstasy.

I have also joined Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/ani_pants/

The photography site.

I may now actually start writing,

But here are some of the images taken and created today.

Hope you enjoy viewing them as much i do making them.

This snow is not as good for my writing, as i predicted it to be!

but i hope you are all safe and well.

Hopefully,

by the morning, i will have atleast reached 5,500 words...

we'll see....

Just click to enlarge.

But if anyone can help me do this,

so that people can see them largish - but not steal them,

please let me know... lol.

Goodnight xx

An introduction.

My photography:

My work revolves around self portraiture,

the contours of the use of the psychological/spirtual mask of our true selves.

Francesca Woodman

Zena Holloway

Just sit back,

& let your sins reflect upon your skin.

You can't hear a sound.

The peace of pain,

Is deafening.

My Music <3

I have been writing music & lyrics for the last 8 years or so.

performing on and off, when other commitments will allow.

My aim when i have graduated - Miss Anne Graves BA (Hons).

Is to dedicate myself to making an album,

and performing further afield.

Some of my music can be found on: www.myspace.com/anigraves

And, if you're interested,

here are some of my lyrics from a song called;

'Muted Colours'

'You're no longer here under,

my skin.

I lost you pacing spaces.

I even tattooed over,

places your touch had been.

I drank away your disgraces..

& i loved your muted colours,

and i loved your silver tongue.

That you locked into a thousand faces,

and then wore to fool everyone.'

So, that's what i do.

I like geeky things, and watching animated comedies.

I spend as much time possible with this man:

Love is a wonderful thing <3

Starwars + Star Trek = Awesome.

Photoshop is my homeboy,

and was even born the same year as me =D

And that my friends, is an introduction.

This has been Ani Graves.

Aka AniPants.

And remember

'Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing in our own sunshine.' ♥
