Another bored day at home watching day time TV.
Chris in his room.
We now have a rabbit. Its called roxy and we had to carry her and a massive cage all the way through town back home when we brought her. she lives in faye’s room and spends most of her day annoying faye by nibbling her stuff and pooing everywhere. We have litter trained her now and now she just runs around in faye’s room all day.
R.I.P Bentley.
My 15 year long best friend pasted away recently. I had seen him through his whole life from the day I watched him being born till the day he died. I don’t think I’ll ever find a more loyal friend again in my life.
No more downhill riding or photos again. I finally managed to bring my self to selling my downhill bike I’ve spent over £2000 on it and have been all over the place on it and have many great memory’s with it. There’s no better feeling then beeing sat on top of a 400m hill being able to look as far as you can see and then riding down it at speeds up to 40mph over rocks, roots and jumps.
Been trying to build up my fashion portfolio lately. I’ve been trying to get at least 1 shoot in a week. This is from the first shoot which i have been planning since the start of the summer.
Just a snapshot of my model Rachael.
Yet another shoot. This one was a navy inspired shoot I’ve been planning this shoot for a while as well. When I first got the idea I found it impossible to get a naval style jacket and then a couple weeks later they suddenly became fashionable and they where everywhere. I should predict trends.
Busy editing. The image you can see is from a shoot i did for the young fashion photographer of the year. it was pretty rushed as i only found out about it a week before the deadline and the submission had to be posted making a week become 5 days. I wont give to much away as i don’t want to jinx it but the theme was something that makes your home town special. I also spent 3 days making a Elizabethan ruff collar by stiffening fabric with pva glue and then getting faye to sew it on to wire.
I’m 21 now woo. We went out dressed as soldiers had lots o0f balloons and a big party only I didn’t take photos at the party for some reason and my memory of it is hazy for some reason as well.
This is the last shoot i’ve done. I shot this on a digital hasselblad and it is AMAZING so now i’me going to shoot on it as much as i can when ever i’m in the studio the file sizes are massive and the detail is out of this world. I wish i had £15,000 for the back and the mac computer to go with it. I’ve been brainstoming for new shoots so expect to see new shoots soon. Also the website will be updated with my fashion works soon.
Me and hugo went to go and watch pete race motocross at a near by track and after being there for about 5 minuets we ended up being roped in to marshalling for him for the rest of the day. The weather then turned from nice and sunny to pouring rain for the rest of the day and me and hugo ended up sitting in it for hours. Then when the track condition deteriorated more people fell off meaning having to go on to the super super slippy steep track to try and help them which ended up with us getting plastered in mud and falling over every 5 seconds.
Went down to london to chiswick house to assist a shoot for photographer John Oakley was and amazing day only managd to get this shitty photo of nothingness whilst driving back. Here are some of the photos from the day there on his face book so i’m not sure if you can see them or not i’ll post a link when there on his site. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=118085&id=508181629
Went out scouting for locations for a photoshoot got all the locations sorted and outfit and managed to get a time sorted after alot of missed chances and then the model never comfirmed andjust never replied back about whwer to meet up and what time on the day so it never happend. It was pretty annoying.
For about a week i went and visited hugo at work as he was working nights down the road as a security guard all we did was play with the security cameras, drink lots of tea and watch crappy terestial televison on a tv with almost no signal.
life at home is so boring in the day i pretty much spent a soild 2 weeks in my room playing nothing but colin macree dirt and skate 2.
Moved back to wolvo now. Uni starts soon we’re living in a bitching house this year its going to be amazing this is faye asleep in her room
russel and faye in our bitchin kitchen.
first night of freashers week so we had a good and bad fridge good for food and bad for alcohol. This is the results lots of jelly shots and and other alchol.
Late night drinking game session.
This post was in my draft but i never got round to posting it expect another one in the next couple months knowing me sorry for being slack. This is the 1 year anniversary only 9 more years left. It’s a little bare i’m out of stories for this one and i can’t remember if there was any decent ones i’m lame.
Waiting for the ferry to go to Le Mans race track in France. To go racing with my dad.
Coming in to port in France catching the sun before having to sit inside a car for the rest of the nice sunny day.
Our ten. For my sister and her partner and me and faye it was surprisingly spacious for 4 people.
Inside the tent.
My dad with his car and Richard one of my dads friends car.
The start finish straight from the grandstands. Le Mans is easily the best circuit I’ve been to.
My favriote car in the would original Ford GT40 mk1 in golf colours.
Packed in on the ferry on the way back over.
Walking in the woods of cardiff
Just a evening bowling.
One from my holiday just waiting for the next film to be deved then that should be up in the next couple weeks.
BBQ at my house the night before i went on holiday it was nice and sunny until we put the first peice of food on and then the heavens opened. We stuck it out the and sat in the pouring rain for about 3 hours until we gave up. I love english weather!!!
In mallorca on the coach leaving the airport no more wet BBQs for the next 10 days.
Spot the lizzard you’ll get a really really bad prize if you do find it.
Inside the apartment. When we weren’t at the beach all we did was listen to the crappy entertainment outside and read books and magazines.
This is a little alley near the apartment. There was the best ice cream shop every just on the right which me and faye went to everyday we where there it was the best.
Were very messy!
Yet more reading.
View of the beach. The Beach was awesome and the water was so blue and clear and there were large foot long fishes swimming around next to you the whole time it was amazing. On the 4th day we ended up buying some snorkels and a underwater camera. I can’t find the photos at the moment i think there at fayes but i’ll up load the underwater ones when i get hold of them.
You could walk around the sides of the beach to get to another beach and diffrent areas to swim from.
On the last day we took a boat trip around the area and stopped of at a few of the other beaches. Faye gets see sick and its typical that the only day there was ever any waves was we where on the boat which wasn’t good, Especialy because we were ment to be able to swimm of the back of the boat but we couldn’t becuase if it being too rough. lame.
The glass bottom of the boat. (which you couldn’t see anything out off)
Last photo on the film and last photo from mallorca leaving the ariport.
Been away for a couple weeks. So been a little slow to update another update coming soon.
P.s Tesco’s are rubbish at scanning films.
Last couple weeks at uni and another work cram session in the library.
Playing around creating some cyanotypes got bored and ended up painting ourselfs in it and the results was me and chris ended up with blue words over use and diseased looking limbs.
Yet another late night work session.
Very last night of uni ended up going out but it turned out being lame so went to asda got alchol and had a drunken 32 race mario kart session where the losser has to drink a beer. Russel lost and the result was all of the drinks he had making a come back.

Blurry picture of faye on a rock taken when we had a fire and a bbq down on the beach with her sister and her boyfriend I love beaches and fire.
Picture of the fire which we made in a little alcove section of some rocks it was awesome and we stayed there until late despite the pouring rain and it being freezing cold and the tied was coming in but it was all good cos we had fire to keep us warm and bbq to feed us.
I adore Jeff Soto and his work. Me and Chris had to catch a train to Birmingham to go to a photo lab to get some 5x4 film developed, and whilst we spent 3 hours wondering around Birmingham trying to find the damn place to dev our film, I stopped of in the forbidden planet store to buy faye a Mario figure. Whilst I was there looking at toys and books I found this little gem. It’s a calendar and sketchbook by Jeff Soto and to make me even happier it’s a signed copy needless to say I brought it immediately. The quality of both the production and art work is amazing and every little thing has been thought about when making it such as embossed hidden text with in the calendar and other similar little details.
One of my few all night work session this was taken around about 4am whilst trying to finalise work to hand in the next day note the strongbow it helps you work, honest.
Yet another end of term work session I spent a good week in the library doing 10 hours a day doing work and research and generally looking at books to get stuff done for my final deadlines. I kind of enjoyed it though that’s the worst part.
This is Dan (thanks for the website help) whilst we where meant to be doing some work we worked for about 20 mins and then we ended up getting distracted by alcohol, YouTube and guitar hero. Woops!
Lukasz hard at work youtube-ing.
Guitar Hero FAIL !!!
