Day 281.

So, here goes my first proper job, my legs hurt, my bum hurts, I ended up being stood up for almost six straight hours and I didn't get to sleep until nearly 2 o'clock because of the amount of photos that I had to upload onto my computer. I'm quite proud of myself but I'm not looking forward to sorting through all the photos and I'm not sure how much I can narrow the selection down by. It was a nice night too, I want a party like that.

Day 254.

I am back in New Malden until Thursday.
It's only just dawned on me how 'not that far away' it is, so I've set out clothes for the next four days and packed up the rest, my underwear fills that red suitcase. I think I have too many things.

Day 233.

More teeth stuff today, my teeth bled, thanks hygienist, here have £50. Urgh, I'm in two minds now, my teeth feel great but I think the pain was far too much for me.

Day 217.

I am published. The Village Voice did pull through in the end, so not only did I get paid but my photos are featured in such a way that they look pretty good too.
At the end of the photo page it says;
"A huge thanks to our official photographer Ruth Johnston who enthusiastically donated her time to Malden Fortnight www.ruthjohnstonphotography.com. See more on www.maldenfortnight.com"
There is also a bit about a vet who took the photos of the dog show, but that isn't important because it's not about me. :)

Day 202.

I went to the dentist today, yesterday Moon and I were looking at all the nice houses round the winding residential roads of New Malden, I spotted this one this afternoon, so out of place, so cool.
I need a filling and my wisdom teeth are hurting me, bullies.

Day 189.

So, today was busy, I photographed dancing, taekwondo, flowers, the craft fair, people enjoying cream tea and two children's tv presenters. Hectic, but enjoyable, even in this heat; despite the blisters my sandals gave me.
There were a lot of cupcakes at the Craft Fair, even my cousin had a stall, but these were by fair the best and brightest. It was very cool to be the 'official photographer'; the rest of the photographs will be on my website and my favourites will be on my normal blog.
I'm meant to be photographing Jacqueline Wilson tomorrow, so glad it's not an early one, I'm so tired.
