Tune for the day

Actually, tune for the summer. I can't listen to this enough, two months and counting...

NY Excuse

Have been crippled with New York lust in the past week. It started last week when I was stir crazy at home with the flu. I started watching Flight Of The Conchords second season, and all I could think about was escapeing to NYC instead of finding it funny and stuff. Watched a bit of Manhatten last night, probably my favorite film. I defy you not to have NY lust after watching this:



Joy... it's been almost 2 years since I took this, Kat has promised me we'll definitly go in the next 12 months (along with Mexico, New Zealand, Vietnam, Texas, Slovenia, Barcelona, Berlin, Paris...):

He's gone home *sniff*

An old picture from University days - 2002

An old picture I out together in my final year at Brighton University (2002). Background is the West Pier in Brighton, shot on slide film and re-projected onto a slightly yellow wall. The people (he's Phil, no idea what she was called) were shot in the studio, and put together on Photoshop. Interestingly enough, in these ancient times, we had no digital cameras (we also didn't have an indoor toilet, and Henry Fox Talbot was the course leader), and the university had only had the digital suite installed a few months earlier, so this final piece of work was the first time I'd properly used Photoshop.
Initially, I'd projected slides in the background, and tried to stand the models at an angle so I could capture them and the background at the same time. There was some success, but generally it would require an exposure of 3-4 seconds to fill the background in after the flash (the flash was required to make artificial sunlight to match the backgrounds. That, and to make it look non-shit). In the end , technology saved me. I owe my sanity to the 'Extract' tool. After I'd put the two pictures together, I printed the picture off, re-photographed it on chrome film again, projected and re-shot it again, and then printed as a normal negative. I don't know why I did the last bit, but it looks ok.

(I lied about the toilet and Bobby Talbot)
