beast love's photostream

Here is Ben, who is one of my longest running friends (and strangely I think this is the first photo i've ever uploaded of him on here) and his lovely lady Liz, who gave me a bit of a surprise visit in Brighton last week. Certainly not a lot of things nicer than a day spent with good people.

Here is a little test shot I tried out using some of the equipment I have unearthed while working at the University of Sussex media department. I have appointed my main task as trying to tidy their studio up and keep it all a bit more organised for students and external clients. While doing so I found a whole bunch of coloured gels and adapters and softboxes that I don't think anyone has ever really properly used. So now they're all out nicely on shelves and I'm creating a little handbook with a sentence describing each bit of equipment.

I feel it's a productive way to spend my time.

Hello and Happy New Year Flickr! I think this is the first time in a few years I haven't done a reflection over my past year and that is because I was too damn busy having fun to edit photos or even think about writing anything down. Now I have two jobs I have even less time to do things like that =(

(I got a new job as an assistant media tech/student support type thing at Sussex University just before Christmas. Puuuurrrrrfect!)

So here I offer you a Good Luck Panda necklace, made by the talented Jacques Keogh (I'm not sure if he has a website, I will link it as soon as I find out...if it exists...) for my lovely girlfriend Helen. It's designed from the album cover for "Animals" by This Town Needs Guns, an album that I associate with a lot of good things and fun times.

Happy New Year

Taken in the Wizard's Attic at the Hove Museum. Reminds me of the Brothers Quay.

"Heeeey...her head don't come off!"
"Of course it doesn't!"
"Hey lady! Where you goin' with a heaaad like that?"

Just trying a little something out. People with removable heads remind me of a lot of films from when I was younger.
