Sorry Guys! Defo time to revive this blog!

So it certainly has been a very very long while since I've written on this blog and on Blogger in general (since July in fact!?!)...

"WHAT'S HAPPENIN'?!?!" you could ask...

No folks, I haven't dropped off the face of the earth, been abducted by aliens and I haven't really been without internet so I have no excuse really except mere laziness which is a horrible thing to hear! Dun Dun Dun.... You could say I've had blogger's block! So I'm very sorry that this blog has been stagnant for 4 months! :( I plan to revive it and blog regularly every week about the things you & I love!

I don't plan to quit this blog and I still stay true to everything I write on here (well probably 95% of it anyway.. views can change over time!). I must admit I have been very busy especially over the past month as I'm now in university studying Photography! Woo Hoo! The past 4/5 weeks have been no easy feat with various things happening (both mad & sad) however I am adamant to change my ways and get motivated to blog again. I have adopted a new attitude: 'Fuck It, Why Not?'; meaning I'm going to get out there more and with a mindset of 'what's the worst that can happen?'. :)

Expect a few changes here and there and I may change the format/layout to an updated snazzier version??
But in the meantime.. let's get blogging!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY M.A.S.H! It's been a Year!

Wow, it's been a year since I've been running this blog! Time does go by fast! Technically yesterday was the anniversary since my first post.. so now it's been a year and 1 day!

I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who reads & follows my blog (it's hard to tell sometimes whether what you write goes out to people) however if just one person reads my blog it's all worth it at least. :)

Though running this blog has been tough and I admit there have been long absences when I haven't blogged often (due to college commitments) I've always managed to stick to this and try to blog as often as possible :)

This year I unfortunately got flagged by someone which has meant that I've had to keep an adult content warning. I have since removed objectionable material and hope to make this 'adult content' free very soon & hopefully get more readers!

Despite not having a huge readership (eg. in the thousands) I simply enjoy writing and researching what's hyping and just discovering amazing talent that is out there.

I'm also hoping to change the layout slightly and make it easier to navigate through this blog and easy links to click on. Also do more M.A.S.H street style posts. :D If you have any requests or suggestions on what this blog could do better than comment below, email me at nish.nash@sky.com or 'like' and comment on M.A.S.H facebook page.

However in the meantime would like to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY M.A.S.H! and I hope to continue this on for a very long time.. so I 'ain't going anywhere! haha

Check out Chilton Generations Together Blog

Hey Everyone

So it's been a while since I posted here! My bad, must be more consistent but sooooo much coursework and university interviews and portfolio stuff. Yup a busy bee and I don't even have a job! haha

Despite my lack of blogging I have been involved in numerous projects. One notably is my volunteering for Chilton Generations Together, which is a local community secondary project. I've volunteered as an associate photographer to local based professional photographer, Laura Rouse and taking backstage snaps and photographically documenting workshops whilst heading a blog for this project.

CHECK OUT THE CHILTON GENERATIONS TOGETHER BLOG HERE

I'm participating in an open day this Saturday, 5th March 2.30-5.30pm so if you happen to live in Bridgwater, Somerset (UK) or know anyone who has attended Chilton Trinity secondary school, this volunteer based project would be idea for you. It's day to celebrate the school's history, share generations' of memories and even have a chance to get photographed in a photo booth by Laura Rouse.

Check out Laura Rouse's Photography here

Also this blog aims to share ex-students memories of this school and hopefully feature these tales on the open day. I must admit, I didn't attend this secondary school however volunteering my photographic skills and learning from professionals this has been a beneficial experience.

Check out the logo I made for this project.

New Content Warning

Hello readers

Due to some readers finding this blog 'objectionable' as I may have violated some terms and conditions by Google or Blogger, I have decided to put a content warning not to offend people. I am sorry if you have found my blog offensive (and felt the need to report it). I did not intend to create this blog filled with nudity and has only featured slightly. As this blog covers topics I find interesting and I like to report/share what's current in the fashion industry and new music releases. In popular culture, more so in fashion photography, there is a lot of sexual imagery and content which I have decided to cover found from other blogs and photography sites which do not have content warning. In the future I shall also put an explicit warning at the top of the post however will continue to report new fashion shoots and topics of interest and hope to not offend any more people.

It would be appreciated if there is a need to comment/report this blog and it's content that you would contact me beforehand. I had believed that my account was hacked and was notified there was 'unusual activity'. This has meant that I hadn't had access to my account for 4-5 days which has been troublesome as I use this blog to help me with my coursework and studies. When my blog was down it was redirected to a error BZ-#### page and linked to a blogger help forum. If people are experiencing this problem check your Google account and click on the blogger link on your homepage.

I will incorporate putting explicit notices at the top of the post to warn people of the content.

Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and a Happy New Year :)

Design Layout Under Construction

Hey Everyone

I've been re-jigging my layout and thought it was time for a new look.
I'm going fairly minimal with the white and I've only just realized you can adjust the width borders which is great so now I can post larger pictures. woop!

Design inspired by blogs such as http://weliveyoung.blogspot.com/ and http://www.katelovesme.net/. Love their simple white layout, it makes the content the focus of attention rather the distracting gadgets on the site and busy backgrounds.

As much as I'd like to go full on minimalistic, thought I'd keep a touch of my colourful personality and added a splash of pink, purple and gold. Also the background image is my own photograph. Click this link to see on DeviantArt to download: http://mashnash.deviantart.com/#/d31h41s

I'm currently designing a logo for M.A.S.H so that shall hopefully be updated.

But for now, just keep loving each day you live...

p.s I'm loving The Pretty Reckless at the moment! :D
