Oh*.* what an adorable carousel. I used to love those when I was younger…I miss being a child actually.
Thank you for sharing Gala -
Wow! Elle is so brave taking pictures in the ritziest of boutiques! Are there security cameras near the dressing rooms? That would be so fun (taking pictures in dressing rooms)! I would love to try that :D
Hah, wow, that girl is amazing, I love her photos :)
Elle Muliarchyk is definitely great!! Her photos are quite aweesome :)
I sometimes enter to boutiques and just try on stuff that I know I can’t afford just to imagine what kind of life I would have if I could actually wear clothes like thah every day.. sometimes I do it with my friends and generally we have so much fun
mmm.. I miss getting on carousels, I’ll do it next month during my town’s fair :D
Another great list of things to have a look at! The article on how to fight artist’s block, was great. I definitely needed that! And the video is cool! :)
The colors on your carousel picture are great! Have you ever talked about what kind of camera you use and I just missed it?
And were you wearing a headscarf? I think you tied it a little differently than your usual but it looked very nice, sort of a rich, haughty lady look! Very cool!
Doesn’t everyone take pictures of themselves in the fancy-label dressing rooms? Ahem. If only my photos looked like Elle’s – they are unbelievable!
Sara — I don’t miss being a child at all! Being an “adult” (okay, not an adult, but someone in control of their own life) is so much better! But thank you, I loved the carousel too. So many of them look nasty, but this one was gorgeous.
Cee — You should try it, then!
Diana — Yeah, she is brilliant! Your boutique adventures sound fun ;>
Sarah — Awesome, glad to help!
lulu — I use a Nikon D80, digital SLR. My camera info is on my FAQ I think! & yes, I was wearing a headscarf, a green one. Not tied any differently though!
Nadine — I know, her work is amazing for such a small space & limited time!
Great carousel!
Gee, I wish I had that artist’s block article yesterday!
I stayed up all night staring at a blank computer screen :[
It’s a great honour for me to be listed on your carousel. Thanks a lot. :)
That video is fantastic! The pictures she took came out so original and great looking, plus Elle is absolutely adorable. It was especially cute/funny when she was explaining about when they called the police in London, hehe!
As always thanks for posting great links for us to look at! :)
PARTY MONSTER :D one of the few movies i know the script to off by heart! so good.
“the road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom. blake, william. that’s really all you need to know. that, and don’t dream it, be it.”

do you think you could od an article on how to stay in touch with work friends? im not sure how much office politics you’ve let yourself be subjected to – but … I was wonderng lol xx
Miri — Ahh, I’m sorry to hear that. I actually kind of collect articles on writer’s/artist’s block, maybe I should post a huge round-up…
Gyanish — No problem, anytime!
Elizabeth — Glad you liked it ;> I loved the photos of her with ink on her fingers, haha.
sophie~ — I’m so glad I finally saw it, it’s awesome! Good luck with your art course, you’ll be amazing!
