Okay so recently as i've been unpacking in my new house I came across loads of gap year experiences and I completely fell in love with them and now I've found a competition that would give me a chance to actually maybe take the plunge and be able to actually GO on the trips and hopefully, following that get some of my work published.

The competition is for a camera and a trip for two around the world ( any destination you want) with flights paid for and ends April 4th or something and to enter you have to say what you'd do with the camera if you had it.

It's REALLLY simple to vote... all you need is a facebook. just click the link and then when you can see all the votes use the search bar to search 'Luciie biskin' and that's my entry.

or if that doesn't work then the link below which basically redirects you to the above link :D
www.smartcamerawishcometrue.com

And, if it's not TOOO selfish PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ask your friends to vote too... even if they don't know me- the person who currently has the most votes has eight hundred and something and I have.....dun dun dun... ZERO!! :P
So I need all the rallying together and help I can get to finally be able to do what I really want and not have the worry of money holding me back :)

Love Always,
Luciie Panda

Only a couple weeks till it's back to the normal way of things, college or school if that's where you're at or work if you managed to snag the summer off :P
After starting my blog in May this year I used it for all of about 1 months or perhaps even less before deciding I didn't want to continue with my 365 day project and thus my blog kind of fell into..well, nothing :/
I've always loved to put pen to paper ( or fingers to keyboard in this case) but for the past couple years I never feel like I really have anything interesting enough to say.
I'd LOVE to restart my blog up as a whole new blog and try and aim to write and entry almost every day.
I'm not fashion savvy or obsessed with designers etc but I have my own style and my own life and I suppose it'd be more like a diary/ photo blog/ fashion blog in my own quirky way. And hopefully people will like it even though it's not particularly 'fashion' or 'photography' or anything as such in particular. I can certainly promise that It wont be like most popular fashion blogs out there and if you looked inside my wardrobe you'd certainly soon see why.
(On one hand I think I am starting to obtain a shoe fetish... One thing I never thought I'd ever say. And whilst I'm still SUPER picky with shoes and almost 97% of my heels/wedges are black. That doesn't change the fact that my 'shoes!' watch list on eBay has more then 100 items...But with no money it'll be a bit tricky to even put a dent in that list any time soon. What's funnier still, is that I'm not even an extremely 'girly' girl so wanting hundreds of pairs of shoes has completely taken me by surprise.
Basically, I'm not sure if that'll be my plan yet for the blog as i've no idea at the moment. All I know is that I plan to start it up again in September and hopefully by then I'll have a plan as to what to do with it.

Recently I've had a lot of time to think about 'what I'm worth'. I even read a fascinating few forums on DA about copyrights and what photographs are worth and it's put me into a complete tumble. I have no idea how I'd even begin to price my work. AND, on top of that I have no idea how to wrap my head around actually asking people for money as most of the people wanting me to do 'shoots with them are close friends :/
I've gone online and started writing down plans and etc but that doesn't mean it'll be any easier to actually ask people for money when it comes to it. I'd love to come up with a few different 'packages' and things but .. well read on and you'll know why the 'but' exists...

I've also started panicking a lot about equipment, or in my case lack-there-of. My entire photography equipment pretty much contains my camera with kit lens ( that I recently had to replace as the other one had broken), reflector, tripod, a few macro filters, ND filters, Polariser filter and a few other bits n' bobs. No different lenses, No studio set up or lighting. And whilst I'd LOVE to be able to change this I really can't afford to. But I how can I make money to pay for these things without HAVING these things.
For instance, I'm soon doing photo-shoots with a friend so he can put together a modelling portfolio but I'd really like to do some 'studio' shots too which I can't.

Does anyone know someone who's willing to give me large sums of cash :P or just hand me a studio ? :P
No no no, I know it doesn't work that way :P

for now though, I really need to be going so
Love, always

I love my camera but after having it for 3 years and buying it to be the perfect camera for amateur photography and now wanting it to be used for more professional work I really need a new camera but can't afford one but now I found this competition that could help me win one ( I know the chances are slim) BUT every time I get someone to use this link then I get one extra chance in the competition so PLEASEE click this link and follow the very few things you have to do to sign up to the competition - It's a facebook link so as long as you have facebook you can do it ^-^
