So here i am, another day another post...
i have been really enjoying my time latetly, looking at all the images from vietnam, its been great, i can made 2 folios which i would very much like to use in for something, either exihibitions or shows, i need to look more into it.... ideas ideas ideas, need all to be developed lol.
So finding a place to move into, is not as easy as i thought, there are just so many places, and ive found good places, and now i am just waiting to hear back from them.. i need to move and find a place ASAP.. lol i really need to move...
so yeah thought i would put down some of the images i've been working with for the past few days. all from my recent vietnam trip..

I took this image of this Flower H'mong girl in Bac Ha market, in northern vietnam. she wasent very happy, she was buying veggies from this lady and she wasent happy being ripped off..


I remember this day, it was totally foggie and very difficult to photograph. yet i manage to produce great images from that day, this is a lady from the Red Dzao Tribe, in Sapa, Northern Vietnam.

This image was taken just as she scream at another old lady, she made me laugh. Bac Ha Market, Northen Vietnam, Lady from the Flower H'mong Tribe.


Took this image in Bac Ha market in northern vietnam, on a sunday. i just loved the contrasts it gave me.

I took this image in Hanoi, by the lake, i admire this kids for a while, they stood there for as long as i remember, it was great. dont know why but i enjoyed watching them.

Thats it for now i guess
till next time.

Vietnam and the whole Xmas Fuzz

Well its been a while since ive written, alot of things have happend since.. i finished my degree, i got into a masters(which means more studying but i have made my peace with it, its only a year and half), also i have gone and come back from Vietnam. spend Xmas and New years there, heaps of fun, meeting new ppl, seeing new things, learning new cultures, learning the history and exploring the landscapes... t

Vietnam is such a diverse place, such country full of beauty and culture.. full of rich history, some good some bad, yet the people are so derterment and rich in culture.... loved every moment of it, i wish i couldnt have stayed longer, but duty(real life) calls and sadly i had to come back...

The place was fantastic for photographs, and i didnt hesitate to take full advantage of it... so here i leave you with a new images from my trip.. just a few for now..

hope everyone is having a beauitufl time in this Brand NEW YEAR 08... wish everyone love, peace and happiness.

Random Rambles

Well

I haven't done much latently to be honest, been concentrating on finishing some assignments i have to do for university which have taken over my whole way of living. but its only for a few more weeks and it will be over and then i can enjoy some time off and go to Vietnam and enjoy my time there.
Vietnam is going to be an awesome trip. i haven't traveled much latently(unless its around Australia) and I've missed it. so glad ot be going there. cant wait to see what i encounter and what i feel. what i see and what i take with me along the journey. making it form the north to the south in a month with 3 more friends. so its going to be a learning and building experience for all of us. cant wait to see what body of work i will produce.

my final folio is going well, learning and experiencing new things with this. its been a sorta life building exercise the whole body of work and its good to know that at least i can try and produce something that its not just work but that has some kind of meaning to me in a very profound way.

anyways this is some of the images ill us for my final folio. the idea is complex but sorta complicated in way, the body of work is not diverse and i like that.

A new chapter if this book i call Live

Well
i thought that i would get rid of my old Blog from wordpress and start a brand new one here. a new sorta chapter of my life i may call it, i am not sure what to expect. hopefully i get motivated and dont let this blog drift into just another piece of bullshit on this big wide world we call the internet..

I thought i would begin by saying that finally in less than 3 weeks i will finish my undergraduate bachelors in Visual Arts, Photography media and i cant wait.

for those who dont know me, my name is ana m angel i am a 22 year old who comes from colombia and is now living in australia..
i have been interested in art all my life and hopefully will be interested in art for the rest of my life..
i live my life each day as it where my last and i am glad to be living with that philosophy because it helps me be free..

thats about it for now.
hopefully i can come back laters and tell you and show you about each of my days and my body of art work..
