I’ve decided to declare this blog closed until the summer when I’m going to get jollying again, so unless I randomly decide to post photos don’t expect any more amazing wit for the next couple of months. That said, I did just buy a Leica so I may be publishing photos from that shortly. Who [...]

Tescos 2.0

I’ve just been to Tescos. I’m not proud of it, its not a shop I choose to go to very often but it was the only place I could get to which was open. I wanted a cold remedy, and I have one I swear by. Its pretty simple, just lemons, honey and whiskey. You [...]

Comparative Analysis of Two Images

For this essay I have decided to analyse two photographs which have very similar subject matter but which present the subject in different ways and to differing ends. I think that by comparing these two photos side by side it will be possible to gain a better understanding of what the photographers were aiming to [...]

Nah mate, it’s Photoshopped

Morocco In 10 Days- A Brief How-To Itinerary.

So you’ve got your cheap flight from easyJet, a return flight to Marrakech, and, if you’re anything like me, you have no idea what to do. So without further ado I present my guide to how best to blow 10 days in Morocco.
*Please bear in mind that this is an ultimate budget guide, not [...]

Marrakech

Pete

The Landrover

Marrakech- Frankly, It’s Bazaar.

Two days so far in sunny sunny marrakech, although the first one should really be discounted because Pete and I just wandered in a traumatised state through all of the souks ignoring offers of shoes, dope and womens clothing. We hadn’t slept since 8am the previous morning and it was all frankly difficult to deal [...]

Sheffield, 6pm

Testing out my new all-singing, all-dancing camera

Steeple And Sky

Sadness

Today is a sad day. I made the fatal error of taking my beloved camera out with me to a nightclub, and it was only a matter of time before the junglist dancing caused it to fall out of my pocket.
I bought it last august, with proceeds from my job selling laughing gas in nightclubs. [...]

Cat Rigamortis

WHO keeps looking up “cat rigamortis” on google and hitting my blog? could you please leave me a comment just to tell me why you are looking for it? because at the moment i can’t decide whether to picture you as a spotty 12yr old who wants to see minging stuff on the net, or [...]

This is the weird wall of water that stands outside the assembly building in the bay.

Avarice, Out of Focus

The white strip in the centre of the shot is where i put the panorama together. The quality of the shot is quite low, but look at all the crazy shapes and tones!

Staircase, Cardiff Museum

Cardiff Bay

I’ve finally got some new pictures for you! This is Cardiff bay.

Champagne Glasses

My Street, 5:20am

On my way back from work. My focusing mechanism on my camera appears to have broken so if anyone wishes to donate towards getting a new camera…

Maybe My Favourite

I am not making this up. People reached my blog using two search terms. The one, “how to make lomo saltado”, is relatively normal. the other is a little odder. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, someone reached my blog yesterday using the search term “ peeing outdside picture”. They couldnt even spell ‘outside’. Still, I’m proud I’m reaching the [...]

Slow Days, Random Thoughts

Bar work is leaving me nocturnal and with dark rings under my eyes, but its fun. It gives me an opportunity to practice my pool, which, incidentally, is getting rather good. I meet a stream of interesting people and watch them slowly turn into boring drunks.
It is really interesting to work on the other side [...]

Lomo Saltado.

Ok this is a post for all you foodies- yes I’m branching out into recipies. I’m going to be more up myself than Nigella, hungrier than the hungry caterpillar and hipper than Jamie Oliver. And if all else fails, I know I’m definitely going to be fatter than yow!
 Lomo saltado is one of the Peruvian staples. Its [...]

Unflattering, But I love ‘em

This is l-r Anita, me, Mai, Kayleigh and David, the My Friend hostel crew, all (bar Anita) looking jaded and sweaty post Carlos’s birthday binge. Good old Huanchaco. Also note Tom Cruise making a cameo appearance at top left.

Panamericana, 5am

What do you do at 5am on a linea bus when the valium isnt working? its obvious- hang out of the window and photograph the passing traffic. this is a convoy of 3 lorries passing at very high speed.

Pricelist

Out of focus, badly lit, but this is the list of prices for excess luggage on Linea, the smart coach company. notice that while a sack of rice or sugar gets on board for the bargain price of 10 soles, a bed made of 3 parts costs 15 soles and a fridge costs 20 soles, [...]
