...a plethora of creative nonsense...
Reading Time: 2 minutesSo the people in the Royal Park School have been evicted, but are currently going through extensive fundraising to attempt to buy the building for cummunity use. Miranda Aria has organised this gig at the Brudenell Social to raise some funds for this, and alongside …
Reading Time: 4 minutesFor this final (for now) installment of Backstreets and Rooftops, I took myself deeper into the University Campus. I’ve been very inspired by this project, and hope to gather the absolute best of these (as I know I have posted many shots over these four …
Reading Time: 2 minutesPlaying some more with the rootop idea, I have gone down into the LS2 and Little Woodhouse area this time – somewhere I have not really explored in so much detail. Theres more of the redbrick here.
Reading Time: 2 minutesI’ve been out again with a further installment of the project to explore the backstreets and rooftops of Hyde Park – taking loose angled shots to explore the way we would see some of these places through the corner of our eyes, but would not …
Reading Time: 2 minutesI got out and a bout today to actually have a good outside test of the Plastic optic for my Lensbaby Composer, took it down to Woodhouse Moor to see what I could see. The weather is still vile, though as you can see a …

I actually really enjoyed this. Of course, who (if you are into girls that is) would not like a bit of sexy performance. But it was a privilage to be able to take photos as well, as this is a new thing to try.
Reading Time: 3 minutesWe’ve had quite a bit of snow over the last couple of weeks, to a point that takes me back to my childhood when I remember (whether accurately or not) far more beautiful snowy days. The first batch was round my birthday, just before Christmas. …
Reading Time: 3 minutesHaving read about this slightly obscure and bizzare lens in Practical Photography, I decided I had to try one. Birthday present time… The Lensbaby Composer is a concept both simple and fraught with complexity. It is simple lens casing with a ball and socket joint, …
Reading Time: < 1 minuteWe do love a good sunset here, and as we approach the turn of the year again, here’s just a few more that I have found lying about on the hard drives, in and amongst other sets this year.
Reading Time: 3 minutesI have been playing a little more with the fish eye adapter. We got the chance to visit the old St Marks church in Woodhouse where I again had the same issues as in the London Underground, with lack of light. Some more interesting shots …
