The Men Who Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing
Rather than wait weeks while I go through and process all of the hundreds of photos I took at White Mischief the other week, I thought I’d upload them in batches. So here’s the first batch, a set of shots of the rather splendid steampunk duo The Men Who Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing.
Earth From Above
A quick snap taken out the window of the plan as we passed over the coast of Greenland on the way to Canada. Not bad for a point and shoot working through the window of the plane. Works best on a dark background.
Ascension
The first of a batch of photos from Toronto. I decided I’d apply the same treatment to quite a lot of them, to produce a set with a unified feel, rather than just a geographic link – it’s an exaggeration of what seems to be becoming my usual style, bringing it into lomo-like territory – I like the idea that a set of photos from somewhere that is very much outside my everyday life have a strongly unreal feel to them.
Construction Ibis
I, and a number of my friends, are terribly fond of the cranes that are fixtures on London’s skyline, but up until now, I’ve never really managed to get a shot of one of them that I like. Dept of credit where credit is due: The title was inspired by a remark by my friend Sarah the other week.
Nightmare Street II
More gas mask fun from the weekend. I’m really pleased with how this one came out – I think it has a lovely creepy dreamlike feel that was 100% worth my friend Mike risking life and limb in order to perch up there. Thanks, Mike!
Science And Nature
Despite the fact that I have a collection of photos of attractive people from the shoot/amble around London that yesterday (of which, more later), the ones I personally like best, are, of course, the ones without any of those distracting people in them. Like this one.
The Secret History Of World War 3
The first of some photos taken while wandering about town today with some friends, with, yeah, some props with which we did the fine work of alarming the locals. I’m putting this one up first because a) I really like it, and b) it seems like quite a fitting tribute.
Lost Planet
I’ve just put a fresh set up on flickr – my friend Mark’s band, Lost Planet were playing at The Ship in Croydon, and he asked me to go along and take photos, particularly of him (pictured here, mid-stick-twirl) because he doesn’t really have any photos of himself at work. It was a bit of an unusual gig shoot – Mark’s drum kit took up more or less the entire stage, so for once, it was the drummer who was best lit (which was handy for my ability to get photos of Mark), and getting photos of the lead singer and guitarist was much trickier than usual.
