Rankin Live

So got my shot done. Rankin is such a sweet, genuinely nice guy. Although the intern he was bawling out probs didn't think so.

First lot of pictures were absolutely shit, Rankin told me to cheer up and told me I looked like a 15 year old after he asked how old I was. But his crew told me it's the highest compliment he could give. Cheers. Almost bawled when someone said I looked like Cassie. *shudders*

Bit of lippy helps all confidence issues. Rankin picked this one, because he said I have a pure look and a very pretty face. What a sweetheart.

Went to Rankin Live at the Truman Brewery. Highly enjoyable. Well worth the £7 I paid (concession and WOT). Complete retrospective of his works, and also his project for Oxfam, Rankin Live.

Although being there made me feel bad and sad about myself. Why? Because I know I'm only 22, I have no discernable skill. I don't want to be a mediocre person, but I am. This is not 'Feel sorry for me and tell me I'm great' - this is a genuine issue of mine. I have no money., no job, yes I know, there's a recession on, all graduates are in the same position as me blah blah blah. Well, most graduates I know, well all actually, did not fail their degree like I. As in not even 40%. No, you can't judge your self-worth by academic merit, but that's all I was ever good at. So now I don't have anything to offer.

Sorry, I didn't mean this to be a self-deceprating post. Rankin Live is well worth going to see, even if you don't consider yourself a huge photography fan. Proceeds go to Oxfam.

Well myself and Laura attempted to be cool, Laura is always cool, I'm just weird. There was a photobooth where you could take photos and pin them on the wall. So we did. We kept 2 out of 8. But er... didn't realise when the camera was about to start snapping.
