I haven’t had a haircut for 5 months now, it doesn’t look that long but I haven’t washed it for a couple of days. I look like Will Ferrell in semi pro when I give it a good scrub. Anyway my girlfriend took this of me. It’s a nice photo I think.
About the author
I wasn’t sure on this so I didn’t put it on flickr. I hate shopping in a TS effect but I couldn’t freelens it in the studio without a horrible light leak and I’ve yet to buy a 45mm.
My project with Kim is going really well. I may not even need to go see him again before the the deadline but I probably will anyway. Although It does cost me £16 + each time just for the train, not to mention all my film and any food while I’m out.
This week Kim and his wife took me to the pub and bought me lunch. Then we went back to their house and Kim and I went for a walk in the sun, the light was good and I shot a lot of film. These are all digital as I like to test things out when the subject matter is so important. I make sure I shoot everything that looks nice on digital and on film though. I’m still waiting to capture a really intimate moment between him and his wife. I think I might have got one on a roll of 1600 film, I’ll have to see.
Anyway the deadline for this project is the 18th January so I imagine if things go well, by early February I’ll have the whole series of prints scanned and uploaded into a series on my website.
So far this has been a really rich experience and I hope I remain friends with Kim and his wife for a while. I’m going to head out with them to some conferences on Taxidermy next year and also document Kim mounting up the tiger carcass he has in the freezer.
hassleblad, brad, hasselbrad. There’s something about the colours when light bounces around the horrible, mundane dirty corridors of the UCA Farnham halls that looks really quite nice.

Acoustic cover of “Hey Ya” by me.
A few beers, garage band and probably a bad idea but hey, why not post something completely different to anything I’ve ever posted.
I recorded this about ten minutes ago on my macbook. I also spent about ten minutes recording it. I have no idea how to master tracks or really use garage band, nor am I particularly good at the guitar or singing. Still I did actually quite like this. I used to be in a few bands back in the day. I think my voice probably suits being drowned out by more instruments but I’m only one man.
This is some raw shit right here ha.
Medium format is fun, even without shooting any film.
No Guts No Glory
I recently got involved with a new project called ‘No Guts No Glory’.
“No Guts No Glory is an online design agency and shop based in Exeter, Devon. We work with local artists, photographers and designers to help them to get work and experience in the industry, and bring with us a new and fresh style of imagery.
As well as our own t-shirts and artwork, we love doing band t-shirts, album artwork, photography, or any other type of commission.”
If you’re ever in Exeter come stop by the shop.
You can find us at: Mc Coys Arcade, Fore Street, Exeter, EX4 3AN- we’re open from 10-5.30 Monday to Saturday.
Me and Brad had some fun in the woods. I have a load more coming like this of different people. It’s turning into a series.
A nice few days with my girlfriend in Brighton. I miss her but we laugh solidly for the whole time each time I get to see her.
