Untitled




But they're shells, ok. More from my wild Saturday night in with the scanner, 2 bottles of wine and some black fabric. Does life get any better than this? The effect from direct scanning is comfortingly old-fashioned and lends the image quite a painterly feel. My thought of the week is this: How far has digital equipment really enabled us to travel?

aliens




Angry alien
Unhappy alien
Shy alien
My boys found a sunglass case full of alien figures when we were camping last weekend. I'd been reading Exploring Colour Photography by Robert Hirsch. Tonight, I decided to bring the two together using a flat-bed scanner and a black cloth tent suspended across two wine bottles.

City at night



I was down in London for the FA Cup Final and we took a taxi back to my friend's house through London. It's probably one of those things that visitors experience rather than Londoners, but driving slowly in a well-built taxi cab across one of the bridges has a very cinematic feel about it. I was looking out of the window taking the odd snap.
