First of all it would be unfair to assume that all persons originating from Transylvania are Vampires. I live with one and my neck is relatively bite-free. I do, however keep a large garland of the age-old pungent rose in our kitchen.

The Monster Under the Bed. Part One.
My Mother has one, my Grandparents have one and even I have one. There’s a very good chance we all have one. In one way or another we all have a box under our bed. It could be a shoe box or an album, in our hard drives or your Facebook page. We all haveContinue reading “The Monster Under the Bed. Part One.”
Copy This, Canon.
As a follow up to the lens-less camera post earlier, Camera Obscura, I thought I’d explore another means in which to take a picture without a lens. Inspired by those age-old office party bum shots I thought I’d try a photocopier. Well, a modern day document scanner. So I set about it with a shelfContinue reading “Copy This, Canon.”
“We can’t both have one my dear, I’ll be a gentleman and shave mine off..”

Ok so now I have your attention. I should make it clear that I’m not going to be showing you a boudoir session with the missus. Rather I’m going to show you how I made the bedroom into a fully functioning camera. Sorry if I appear to have misled you. There will be no provocativeContinue reading ““Bring the Camera to the Bedroom Darling…””
Ach Well… That’s Showbusiness
News just in. I’ll keep it short-ish. This is obviously a faked picture. Noel Fielding and Phill Jupitus were originally holding an Ad for ‘Never Mind The Buzzcocks’ which was due to be aired in the next couple of weeks. I switched the Ad for the ‘Watson ACE’ lads for use on their Facebook pageContinue reading “Ach Well… That’s Showbusiness”

As I got to know the cast and crew a wee bit and I had a feeling that this wouldn’t be the last time I saw them. As it happened MrContinue reading “The 7 minute shooting of Oscar Wilde”
