Favourite

I rocketed past 10,000 all time views on flickr today, which is only really important to me, but there you go. I've become somewhat obsessed. Anyway, here is one of my most favourite shots that I've taken. Ever. It was only this afternoon, on the way to the pub, but I think it will stay with me for years...

Don't Mess With The Chicken....

Or The Chicken Might Mess With You...

Popular

This shot has proven to be quite popular on my flickr page these last couple of days.

I like his face...

New shots

Went to Girton for a wander around the other day, and got some pretty nice shots, I reckon...

Nostalgia for Places You've Never Been To

Bored at work, I was browsing through my favourites on flickr. I have to say that I was blown away; the quality of photography that will basically never see the inside of a gallery is staggering. Even better is watching them as a slideshow, which I hope you will do by clicking here.

I also seriously SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY recommend that you download the track 'Primary' from Minotaur Shock's album 'Chiff Chaffs and Willow Warblers' and listen to it over and over again while looking at the pictures. The whole album is worth having, but if you only listen to one track this year while looking at someone else's idea of what great photography is, then it should be that one. Its only 80p or whatever from i-Tunes, and it will inject into the experience a goodly amount of nostalgia for places you've never been to.

WARNING: There are a couple of rude ones in there - nothing pornographic, but if you don't like bums then steer clear.

WARNING NUMERO DEUX: The whole thing will take about 50 minutes, so go to the toilet first.

UPDATE: I can't stop favouriting people at the moment, so it's well over an hour now. Better than most films though...

UPDATE 2: Well, in a way this proves my point - there are so many great pictures in there now that the slideshow will take about 90 minutes. That's a whole bunch of good shit...

UPDATE 3: Well, it's December now, 9 months later, and there are 4,257 pictures in my favourites, which will take about 3 hours to get through. I defy anyone to listen to same track on repeat for 3 hours, so maybe buy the whole Minotaur Shock album!

Poked

Walking along the Devil's Dyke near Newmarket yesterday, we came across this grisly sight:




All buggery knows how the thing got in a thorn bush, but he wasn't happy. All poked about he was...

I'm not usually one for self portraits, but this one was begging for it.

Pathetic Celebration

Yesterday, for only the third time ever, the number of views on my Flickr page topped 200. This isn't much compared to many people, but it's nice that people are looking...

Anyway, here's a picture of my lady to celebrate:

Filler

Haven't posted in a while. Not much has been going on to be honest, I certainly haven't produced anything worth posting. Plus I am sick like a dog.

So anyway, here's a vintage shot from the archive, hope you love it.

Television Portraits

This is a project that I've been wanting to do for a long time, which is to take portraits of world leaders from the TV. I've only got one so far, of Robert:

Sadly, as we don't have TV at home (long story for another post), I very rarely get to take these shots. I did get another shot a few years ago that, whilst not exactly fitting the brief, I think fits in. Anyway, it's of George:
