Cup o'tea

I spent nearly my whole afternoon today setting up the scene and preparing the props for my next photography piece. My host mum kindly borrowed me her nice tea cup and the tea pot matching it. I arranged all the props on my cupboard with my shirt underneath it because it has quite a nice pattern and colour.
I set up the scene in my bedroom because I could get away most of the external light to control it all myself with a remote flashgun.
Then I grabbed a spoon from downstairs and put the little man with his wheelbarrow on top of it. This took a couple attempts but it looked quite cool in the end. One thing just simply blew my mind: if you compare the size of the sugar cube to the wheelbarrow it is way bigger and the weight a lot higher, but the small and thin wheel of the wheelbarrow was actually able to hold this enormous weight for nearly half an hour without any support!!

Le piano

Since I completed all the psychology work for this week and some individual research (as we should do ;) I went playing the piano in the last lesson we had. It was just really cool because in the beginning I was learning the new piece called "Thing of Gold" that I selected for my piano lesson. It is from my favourite band (Snarky Puppy, New York Jazz Academy). If you don't know them and you probably won't, you should really look them up or just click here ;)
But after like half an hour my friend Sarah came and we played together. It was so much fun and I really enjoyed playing with someone else again :D
