Inspirations - The Film makers and Photographers

Hey guys! It's great to see you here again!

This was something that just made me so happy and so I thought I would share it with you.

One of my favourite YouTubers and inspirations, Louis Cole (aka FunForLouis) and his friends, also great inspirations of mine Ben Brown, Steve Booker (Blog and YouTube), Will Darbyshire and Nick and Ang Miller are all in NYC at the moment and just the talent that they all have and the beauty of the shots that they're capturing at the moment there are absolutely stunning. Ever since Louis got his new camera, the slow mo shots have been absolutely brilliant! Here are some of them and the videos/links to where you can see all of them :D

'Double Date Night' - 22/10/14

'Double Date Night' - 22/10/14
'Double Date Night' - 22/10/14
'Sunrise & Pennyboard Adventures' - 21/10/14

They also went to go and see Casey Neistat and his studio which are absolutely insane (the vlog is here). His camera collection is well and truly mind-blowing and incredible and to see some of the film-makers that I adore like Jack Harries asking him about the quality of the camera was amazing. It's always great to see who inspires your inspirations and that was just amazing.

Some more screen caps of the vlog just to give you an insight - absolutely amazing:

Casey's punch bag which he uses as a distraction
Ben and Casey take to the rings!
An awesome set up
A giant screen which you can use to see yourself - Ben's funny faces :D
So yeah, this has been something that has inspired me beyond belief this week and just to see all of them getting awesome shots and working together to produce awesome content has made me incredibly happy :D If you guys do have an hour or so to spare, go to Louis' channel and check them out! They're absolutely brilliant and always make my day, especially when he has his friends goofing around too :D

I hope that this has inspired you too! As always, leave your thoughts below, I love to hear them and I hope to speak to you soon!

Lessons I've learned from work

Hey guys!

So, last Saturday, after two weeks away from work, I returned, tired from school but still rearing to go. Nice one Zainab, nice one.

It was a tiring day but it was definitely rewarding because I feel like the shop that I work at, though it's small, receives some of the nicest and most interesting people off of the planet and they make my day so much more wonderful.

It's especially wonderful to hear people with different accents because, as you guys may or may not know, I absolutely love accents and being able to just fangirl on the inside when someone talks is just wonderful. I've heard Australian accents and South African accents and Scottish accents and Spanish accents and Italian accents and German accents, all from the most lovely of people and honestly, if you like me have a ginormous appreciation for different accents, you like me, would be in heaven.

It's especially great because I live in a really small town and that means that on the outside, it doesn't look like we have much racial diversity but when you look closer and learn more about the people, you can come to really adore where everyone comes from and what that means about what kind of people they are. A lot of people are wonderful and not stuck up like a lot of people become the closer you get to London.

I'm not really sure what this post is meant to be aha, but I really feel like, though my work is really tiring, it gives me my biggest boost in faith in humanity because a lot of the people look wealthy and you can tell that by the money they're willing to spend or the cars that they drive. For some of them, it makes them as nice as hell and I guess that's because they want to meet people who are genuine and not people who are just being friendly with them because of their money. Other wealthy people can be quite stuck up and it's not the nicest thing to see but I guess you can't have everything in a person.

You also have the other end of the scale where people feel like they can't pay for our services and end up scrounging around for a deal and sometimes it can make you feel quite bad but sometimes it feels quite rude, especially when they know what quality you're providing them with. The shop I work at is really quite reasonable and it feels like people try and undermine the kindness of my boss without good reason and it's horrid to see.

I hope that you guys thought something of this post. Feel free to leave those thoughts in the comments below and I hope to speak to you soon!
