Orange Thursday

I considered Cinnamon Thursday, but was worn down by tradition. To get you in the mood for the next couple of pictures, here’s an appropriate music video. What else could it be, but…

I See A Red Friday and I want…

to Paint It Black! That’s right, the last week was all an elaborate setup! There you were, quietly progressing through a spectrum of pictures, and bam, off go the lights. That’s right. It’s a Black...

There’s a lesson to be learned in this

and you’ve learned it very well. It’s that my slightly twisted sense of humour will rarely let me carry a pedestrian theme to completion! But without further ado, I satisfy your craving for that most...

Two clicks

This whole ‘post every day’ thing is proving to be a lark. By which I mean, difficult. Mainly because of a heady mix of work and socialising, which is set to continue until next Saturday night on a...

Thames Ablaze

Saturday was a good day. The morning was freezing (literally – I saw my first frost of the winter!), but I dragged myself out of bed and over to Camden to meet some friends. We shot some little bits...

Here’s lookin’ at you, kid

They may be little more than rats with big fluffy tails, but squirrels are basically my favourite thing about wildlife in this country. In a completely different vein, check this out – stunningly shot,...

In which a stray sandwich threatens to derail the streak

Without going into detail, a misadventure with a bad turkey sandwich almost led to me missing today’s post. And we can’t have that, can we? Instead, I’ll leave you with a jaw-dropping video podcast...

A bit of lip on a Friday

The ability to freeze the view from a fraction of a second and examine it later is one of the marvels of modern photography. The fact that the camera I took this with fit in the palm of my hand is even...

i, Maker

My last major day of work for 2011… after this, I just need to tidy up on Monday then I have a 2 week break. It’ll be my first holiday since 3 days in Berlin back in July! While I’m going to miss my...

I want to run free

This is a short doc put together by some of my wonderful coursemates, Polly, Thea, Sian and Juliette. I particularly like the message that runs through it: we grow into constraints, and it’s only by...

Modern music: Loud, non-harmonic, danceable

This is quite cool: It’s an analysis of different trends in top 40 songs over the past 40 years. There are some quite predictable shifts, though the 90′s is kind of uninteresting (we knew that...

My top 5 songs of 2011

Yes, it’s that time of the year again. I start writing lists. This one’s always fun, looking back at the songs I’ve most enjoyed that were released in the past year. In no particular order, here’s my...

The best holiday season movie this year

There’s not much I can really add to this – it’s just great. The spinning lamps, the tabletop plants – brought to life so well. What do YOUR old toys do when the lights go out? Oh, and while I’m at it,...

Making Time Lapse

I’ve been meaning to do one of these for quite a while. Enjoy. It’s a very simple timelapse done with my GoPro, showing the hour leading to dusk over the Thames. I also spliced some footage of a flock...

The day before

Almost a bit late on this one… The coolness of this song is very high: It’s an instrumental version of ‘Heart of a Wolf’ by Ed Harcourt, who I saw supporting Frank Turner a year ago. He was a...

Christmas Alone?

Without Peter Combe, it just doesn’t feel like Christmas to me. I fondly remember the excitement of popping his classic Christmas tape in the cassette player, unboxing the tree and baubles and spending...

The dynamic and the immovable

I was on my way south. I’d just visited the tropical north of Australia with some very blokey friends and the draw of solitude was strong. The surf was bad and I wound my way down the Great Dividing...
