Due to the fact that Planet Drum is moving, I won’t have a regular excuse to wander around Borough anymore. Trips to Croydon have stopped as well. Excuses needed.
Wait Light / Excuses to Wander
Another Day
My one day per week teaching term has finished at Wimbledon School of Art so next week is the start of my summer and that extra day should make a difference to something. However, I am down to do a week long Photoshop course and five days in a row might cancel out the gain.
Flat Street Photos
I’ve just returned from two days in Hunkin Land helping out on some animation for one of Tim’s new simulator rides. This one will be walking the dog in Southwold and become part of his Pier Arcade.
Pictures Taken on the Way to Somewhere Else
I used the Veriwide for some real work for the first time yesterday (shooting interiors). This was taken with the digital on the way home.
It’s the Colour Man!
This conversation with Kevin Bjorke reminded me about two great books that I haven’t looked at in a long time. Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain will get you over the blocks that most people have about their ability to produce a likeness when drawing. Understanding Comics is a great read on art, graphics and the psychology of sequential art even if you’re not interested in comics.
Twins
I’ve added a new gallery to my main photography page, Twins, which was made with Jawed Ashraf.
I’ve had some problems with e-mail over the last week or so. If you’ve sent me something and I haven’t replied, please resend or use the contact form to get in touch.
RGB, Y
I’m still struggling through Peter Ackroyd’s London: The Biography. Maybe I should have waited for the one with pictures.
Ticket, Got a Ticket
Sorry this file is a bit big. The jpeg compression was really visible in the red.
I’ve also put a new stitched panorama here.
Medicine Balls
I discovered Smoke today. It fell open on an article called Sham City about Paternoster Square – “London’s new architectural theme-park” – which was making me laugh. When I looked at the back and realised it was only £2 (twosquid, blimey!) I thought I’d better buy it. It’s a shame all the pictures are black and white but for 50 pages you can’t grumble can ya guv’nor (People don’t seem to call London ‘The Smoke’ anymore, do they?).
Water Carrier
For regular viewers, here is my current favourite pinhole pic from the recent batch. For non-regular viewers, sorry – you missed it – the pinhole page is here.
