You totally inspire me to start to be creative again. I get so stuck in a rut from doing the "bread n' butter" stuff of photography that I rarely leave time for stuff that " I " want to do.
Goodness gracious kpan. No more worries eh? Aside from the snip, how are you doing?
Had a recent trip to the UK. Just go back. Worked some but mostly spent some quality time with a few good friends whom I have not had a chance to spend time with during my last few whirlwind trips. The weather could not have been better.
I am selling or should I say have agreed a sale for my medium format camera...don't panic I have actually replaced with a newer shinier model.
As a challenge the lovely peeps in the Photography group responded to a request from me to give me a challenge for the 10 shots or so left on the last film in the camera
Below are the challenges... Read More
Eostre (pron East-ra) was the Anglo-Saxon goddess of the dawn, from whom "East" (where the sun rises) and "Easter" got its name - as the fertility goddess of the Northern European peoples, her legend was manipulated by the invading Romans - newly... Read More
Photography is becoming increasingly important in my life...in fact sometimes it feels like my life gets in the way of my photography..is that passion? or obsession? Not sure. What I do know is that I spend inordinate amounts of time posting pictures in forums such as this.Having said that groups like the one here are really good for developing yourself...in the last few years I...

Welcome to my world, where art is life and life is art.
You have the most amazing seascape pictures. I love love your work.
Put all your heart into this photography thing, you are filled with talent and passion. GO GO GO!
Got a new camera
It's a Mamiya Super which is the next level up from the one I have. This one has Mirror Lock Up which will be a real plus for my Landscape and Portrait work. This is one of my test shots just to make sure all was working, which it is.
Mrs Kpan bought me this last week because he reminds her... Read More
I have never read the graphic novel, so I can't tell you if the film does it justice or not. I only allow myself one of the two so that neither is spoiled. Maybe someday I will read it. I hope you enjoy it when you do get a chance to see it. And thank you for the happy wishes. I hope things are going well for you in that department as well. You are so sweet.
Well I just had the best 3 days away. I was working with 9 other drummers under the Drum Jam banner and we were booked to perform for the FLP Rally in Malaga, Spain. The craic was great and we had oodles of fun as well as getting to play on stage to an audience of 8500 people...YEP...8500. Mind blowing experience and through the miracle... Read More

"Another Place"
An installation by artist Antony Gormley at Crosby in the North West of England.
My photos from a freezing cold February morning..one or two experimental shots here.
Spent a morning there with my good lady, after which we drank hot chocolates by the swimming pool (indoor) Our evening was spent facilitating a drum event for a friends 40th birthday..no photos yet. We left... Read More
Hehe this made me giggle. Good work on the wife front!! I bet she's still happy about that bit of work you did there!
I love this series. So spooky, but really peaceful. It makes me feel like drowning, but not in a bad or scary way. I don't know how to make that make sense, but it's a good feeling. Love it.
I was looking at my friends tab and thinking about you. How the hell did I miss this blog? I've been kind of sporadic in my SGing lately due to intermittent periods of busy-ness with work. Althought I am blowing off a couple of hours now.
Those pictures are fantastic. What have you been up to lately? I hear it has been a cold winter out your way.
Happy 2009
May this coming year bring you closer to those you love and to the life you dream of.
Had a wonderfully chilled holiday and am slowly winding the gears up to normal speed....I shot a lot of photography in a variety of settings over the holiday and will blog very soon....off to work away for 3 days now..will post more here when I... Read More
cool, thanks. looks like a good spot. i'll remember that for when i go back. last time, i wasn't in my car... i just walked to and from Derwentwater (and regretted it afterwards!).
2008 approaches its end...another year of transition and hopefully growth I hope your year brought you blessings in some form.
This weekend marks the Winter Solstice...we begin the turn back towards the light...something to celebrate in these parts...and we will...tomorrow we get to see Zion Train in our funky little venue the trades club...fri night is Bass Culture...a night long dub specatcular...sat and sun will... Read More
ah good dub stuff reminds me of the summer solstice with the good vibes uprising people in Brighton a few years ago - seeing the sun rise to the vibration of sub-bass woofers on the beach with good friends, marvellous!
this new USB turntable thingy is surprisingly easy to use. i already have iTunes, so i was expecting to have to save again to cd and upload further. however, all i had to do was install the humourously named EZ vinyl converter software, stick the needle to the vinyl and press record at the start of the track. it was even easier than cutting Dave Lee Travis's voice out of a C90 recording of the top 40!
it was on sale for 50 before Christmas, but is almost twice as much at the moment online... here's a linky. I thoroughly recommend it for sound quality.
i wish you a year full of open spaces and golden light my friend.
Not for a while; I still have arrangements to make. But who knows; I might show up tomorrow and find that my account and everything I ever posted here has disappeared.
You totally inspire me to start to be creative again. I get so stuck in a rut from doing the "bread n' butter" stuff of photography that I rarely leave time for stuff that " I " want to do.
I hope this week is a good one for you.
