The Last Days With my Father

I don't know what to say really about this! You need to read it really. Its much too personal from the photographers point of view for me to make a comment on it.

have a look at Phillip Toledano's last days with his Father

The breakdown is up for some striking individual images from around the world, some not so striking, but even if you cant be arsed to vote for one, you could at least have a look couldn't you?

Dirty Car Art

An interesting look at human interaction with surrounding objects, I don't know how I would react if i seen a man painting with water on the back window of my car.

Current Listening Vol. 3

I have neglected this stream of posts even though its still at the beginning. Anyway this weeks spotlight shines on LGLP, a band from the Tee-side area of the northeast of England. Mixing industrial techno with electronic metal (with a whole load of other madness in-between). Definitely worth a listen, you can get all 3 EP's HERE at the blog FOR FREE, so what are you waiting for!

Get it in ya!

A few images from a current project I am working on which will take quite a while to complete. The two images shown here are only a portion of the project (notice lack of narrative) but I thought they might look good up here and maybe give people something to think about.

The project spawned from a lyric I wrote for a new song, like most lyrics and ideas I cannot remember the moment when it appeared in my mind.

"You will end up with nothing,

If you do not commit to starting,

with something you know nothing

about."

Although I am aware that the lyric although the initial catalyst for this project, I am in the process of deciding wether or not it sits well with the images. Anyway here are the first few from this project anyway, with more to follow at a later date.

Well if you live in Carlisle then you will certainly be aware of the height of the two main rivers in the city. The Caldew and what has become the 'epic' River Eden. I went out for a look last night about midnight to see what everyone was flipping out about and was quite shocked myself. In the three year I've been here I haven't seen the Eden as high as it is, and I have been living really close to it all this time.

A few photo's I took while out with my compact, enjoy and if you live in a potentially flooding area I guess you may start praying or doing a sun dance or something.

Current Listening Vol. 2

The new, eagerly anticipated album from Modest Mouse. Seems to have left the previous 'We were dead before the ship even sank' clean and well formed sound behind and moved back a few paces into what they used to do so well.

Its fresh, psychadelic and elemental a great album to wake up to!
