Well, I busted out Tuesday night due to some problems at home, but a good friend reminded that getting back on the horse is a good thing, so I'm going to crack on even though I can no longer 'win'. So here I am, again.Self Portrait #12 (Stare)

So, I never got round to buying a Polaroid, but I have bought a Holga. I love the feel of it, it's very light but it is really, really big in your hands and the shutter release button is this huge 'switch' at the side of the lens and for some reason I get a big old smile on my face whenever I operate it. I must look like an idiot with my giant plastic camera, but I just don't care. The only

...but for a change I'm thinking of less technology instead of more. I'm thinking of getting a cheapo polaroid instamatic, I like the idea that it's all about composition with that camera and that the results are immediate and tangible.Anyway, here's a picture, one of the last I shot on film.Abandoned Bike

The wife and I are heading off to the Music in the Air concert tomorrow and I'm really excited. The event is part classical music concert and part airshow. It's supposed to be 'fly-bys' and aerobatic displays synchronised to a live classical orchestra.I hope the weather is good. Naturally enough I'll be taking along my camera and trying to get some decent panning shots.Here's one of my previous

ELB has got himself a new camera, and he's already taking great pictures with it. It's no surprise really he was taking great pictures before with a camera half as good.

They say the camera never lies, well Photoshop is a patholgically lying son of a bitch!I shot this a couple of weeks ago, it's the door of an old rusting train.

Found this brand new blog just now, can't wait see how this develops.My favourite quote from the site:I will strive to distinguish between mere rhetoric and connected reality in order to share my thoughts on current events in the world at large.Good luck on that one buddy!
