[2] The Fool

I'm not sure about this, I think it looks a bit overworked/ artificial (not to mention that my hair REALLY needs cutting). I had the idea in my head but was missing a first floor window (I live at the very top of a block of flats) so I had to use my own bedroom and set up the camera in the kitchen of Flat 34, from which you can see my window. This meant I had to set the camera up, aim, lock the focus &c., and then leave it to my friend Bex to press the button while I ran between flats XD. Plus 34's kitchen window wouldn't slide all the way up, so the tripod was too tall and I had to balance the camera on top of an upturned washing up bowl with a pair of folded oven gloves and a wooden spatula to keep it level, haha.

I may be uncertain over the finished result, but this was the most fun photo shoot ever <3. I had practically everyone in our block of flats hanging out their windows to gawk; when my flatmate Millie realised what I was doing she almost had a coronary and insisted on tying 'some rope, or something!' around me in case I lost my balance; eventually she hooked a belt around the loop on my jeans and sat behind the curtain holding onto the other end, rotflmaodkfjns <333.

I have outtakes for this one and everything, just to prove I genuinely was hanging out of a fourth floor window all afternoon, lolol.



Trying to explain to Katie in Flat 28 exactly what I'm doing..










'How high up am I again?'




'Ah, right. Just checking.'








James decides to join in the general photography fun. He looks like such a creepy paedo here, lmao. Caught in the act!
