...a plethora of creative nonsense...
Reading Time: 3 minutes …And at the end of the day, fashion photography is marketing. Whilst many of us will happily buy a misshapen carrot, if you want to advertise carrots you would show them in their best light. If you don’t like it then just avoid the fashion industry, as it is not going to change. Sorry.
Sozzani’s comment is meaningless. I would warrant that the ‘very few’ who don’t use Photoshop don’t use it because they use something else…
Reading Time: 3 minutes I was invited to come and document this gig at TJ’s in Woodhouse, commemorating 200 year anniversary of the Luddite Rebellion, with Chumbawamba, Dan Audio and some other acts who have slipped my memory. The term Luddite is one often used as an insult and …
Reading Time: 3 minutes I found this little page today, and thought that I would re-blog it. http://pixelfarmize.wordpress.com/2009/04/16/xpro-film-chart/ It has got me thinking a bit about cross-processing, and the results that you get. Cross processing has become a bit of a trend at the moment, with the whole l*mography …
Reading Time: 2 minutes I got a tip off about this event, that a couple of contacts were playing at, that it may be worth a photography blag, which was successful. I’d not really been aware of Mush before, but it was a good blend of harder music and …

Reading Time: 2 minutes I went out to Light Night this year with the intent of doing quite a lot of photography, and indeed I did get quite a few interesting images on film cameras, which will be posted as and when. I spent quite a lot of time, …
Reading Time: 4 minutes Having been to a couple of parties here, I have been meaning for some time to visit here for some photography. With the Indian summer this last few days I’ve taken the opportunity to do so in the sunshine. Clayton Quarry, or more correctly Woodside …
Reading Time: 3 minutes A big part of the whole lomography aesthetic seems to include quite an emphasis on cross-processing. This is obviously something that can produce some really interesting effects (and is easier and cheaper in to some extent), but slide film obviously has a purpose, which is …
Reading Time: 2 minutes In my explorations of the industrial remnants of Meanwood, It has been interesting to look right outside my door – the path that runs at the bottom of the Highburys also has some nice old red-brick buildings by The Beck. I also captured these interesting …
Reading Time: 2 minutes Continuing to explore a little more, I have wandered down Meanwood Road this time, onto the bottom end of Woodhouse Ridge and the bottom of Sugarwell Hill. I found this old bomb shelter on the ridge – suprisingly relatively safe to enter (i.e not full …
Reading Time: 3 minutes Another 75p bargain find, in good optical, mechanical and cosmetic condition. All the documentation I can find online describes this as either the ‘Sureshot Owl’ (American Market) or Prima AF-7 (European Market). But as you can see in the image, my copy definitely says ‘Sureshot …
Reading Time: 2 minutes I have been exploring more around Meanwood Park, now I live here again, and have found plenty of interesting corners I’ve not discovered before, such as the old Highbury Cricket Ground, and this amazing Boulder Gate up by the Myrtle pub. This has been a …
