Good morning, Doctor Insomnia

It won't amaze you to know that I'm suffering from typically acute insomnia at the moment. My body's tired – I can feel my eyelids wanting to close, my eyes itching and my limbs becoming ever more leaden – and yet my brain doesn't want to switch off. I close my eyes to sleep but [...]

Some people I met

I've been talking for a long time about the challenge of photographing strangers. Those of you who know me know that the one thing that I'm short on much of the time is self belief. I'd rather be insulted than complimented because normally I find compliments leave too much out (as Bert pointed out at the workshop [...]

Eve and Grace

Picture the scene, if you will: A lovely, sunny, June afternoon. Very sunny, in fact. And on this very sunny afternoon I ended up doing a shoot on a white patio with two kids: one seven year-old and one very cranky baby.

Yeah, I got my arse kicked by the sun, as I've said before, but I learned a bunch of things, too, so it worked out well. Next time I won't let the sun beat me.

Slideshow after the fold. Hope you like 'em.

Slightly Camp Jesus

Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days, day 346 Jono Bacon demonstrates that he is the messiah, and a slightly camp one at that. (The light is from one of the wall lights in the room that held Ubuntu AllStars; it was too good to miss, placement-wise). Strobist info: Camera-mounted SB-600 in [...]

Chuckle

Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 300 My good friend Matt Revell. He asked me to take a couple of shots of him to use around and about the place; this pretty much sums up his character and why I like him. Strobist info: SB-600 in a LumiQuest [...]
