Just a quicky to upload these silly things I made last year.
My original plan was to paint them, but then I remembered, I’m not that good at painting,

It occurs to me I have so far failed to use my own blog to pimp my other blog.
Self promotion may not be my primary area of expertise.
Anywho, fact of the matter is, not content with tormenting your ears with music, it is now my intention to bother your eyes with my photographs too.

While I should be finishing off the album, this evening I’ve been distracted by entering Stephen Fry’s Twitter competition.
“L=50 in Roman. The best tweet containing exactly 50 Ls will win. All tweets to contain the tag #L and none to exceed 140 character limit SF”
Should you be interested, here are my 3 entries
Entry #1
Lilly I’ll fall ill Lilly I’ll feel well. Lilly I’ll call hello, Lilly you’ll say farewell. Lilly O Lilly all I’ll feel will fall to hell.#L
Entry #2
MMD #L
Entry #3
All Bill Ball’s llamas’ll lie on Llanelli Hill. All will fall ill. All will fall ill as all llamas will. Old ill llamas of Llanelli Hill. #L
I’m hoping #2 will win points for being cunning!
As for the album, fear not. A listen through today tells me that it’s very close to being finished. Yay!
More about that later

The above photograph, NASA image AS8-14-2383, or Earthrise as it became known, was taken exactly 40 years ago today.
On December 24th 1968 what I believe to be one of the most important, not to mention beautiful, images ever recorded was captured on 70mm colour film with a Hasselblad camera by astronaut William Anders during the historic Apollo 8 mission, the first to send men into lunar orbit.
The beauty and wonder of the image is only tempered by the sadness that comes from knowing we haven’t been back since 1972.

As a rule, my photography is pretty much 100% Photoshop-free, or more accurately in my case, GIMP-free.
Generally speaking, my pictures are created inside the camera and I only use the GIMP to resize to more web-friendly dimensions.
Not that I’m opposed to image manipulation, it’s just not something I’ve ever really done before.
That having been said, I’ve been playing around today with the idea of HDR and tone-mapping and other fancy sounding things that I don’t really understand.
I’m liking the results so far and it definitely seems like something I can get into.
I can see me developing two separate styles of photography in the future.
Images created inside my camera and images created inside my PC.
Anywho, here’s a rather rushed example of my efforts.

A photograph I took of a giant Bug Monster hurtling towards us through space. Probably.

Unless it’s one last defiant, suicidal attempt to destroy the insect invader before he devours the earth, in which case, good luck with that.

Just a quicky to post a YouTube link to an example of this awesome animation technique.
I would definitely like to see a One Inch Man video using this idea in future.
