shards of a shattered mind - a photo on Flickriver

064/365.

Although this seems much more simple than the concepts I usually plan out, I'm really happy with it. Yesterday evening I was looking out into my garden, and for the first time noticed how one of the windows in the shed had cracked and had a hand sized hole in. I knew then that I wanted to shoot through that window today. I planned it to be quite eerie with my face on show through the hole and everything else merging into the darkness behind the remaining glass, but when I asked my brother to stand inside the shed so I could focus the camera, he leant against the window too hard and more of it shattered. So, I did this instead - still sticking with my original idea, just really with a bigger crack in the window to work with.
Tonight I'm going out for a carvery with my family and some family friends, including two of my oldest friends (one who is also my step brother to be). I'm really looking forward to it as I probably won't get to see either of them again until Christmas due to them moving back to University in a couple of weeks. Tomorrow I'm meeting up with John and Jordan, and I'm hoping to shoot an idea I've been forming in my head for a while now in the woods near Jordans house, which are beautiful and also eerie due to all the myths and stories surrounding them.
