Anyone who has just been redirected from my website my apologies and I hope you don't mind looking through my blog while the website is under construction

This image is from our lastandfirst exhibition, I was asked to photography the exhibition committee, but not in the usual group photo pose, using The School of Athens as inspiration and finding it quite relevant for the committee we set up this image which I think/hope everyone is happy with!

China - One Card of images found

2008-04-15T05:47:00.000-07:00

I thought I had lost all my work from China when the electronics on my hard drive fried but I came across an 2gb XD card at the bottom of a drawer in my desk, haven't used it since I got the 5D, and the last place I did use it was china and I never deleted the work off it.

So I've 2gb's of photos from china, as you can imagine Im quiet happy about all this.

I think Rojo took this shot of me at the Pearl TV Tower in Shanghai with my Olympus E-500 with kit wide zoom and a fish eye adaptor

Got to get the auld thesis finished first

China

China, finally

2008-01-08T09:58:00.000-08:00

Getting round to getting some work from china up online, the last trip with the e500, and the first with the 5d

This was with the olympus E500, shot in raw and alittle photoshopping

Some nice polaroids from the trip too (all i need is a scanner).

More diving

2007-10-16T12:16:00.000-07:00

Gig:Hot Sprockets and To My Boy

2007-10-08T15:35:00.000-07:00

Both bands shot on friday night at the hub, temple bar

Some shots from the gig, very tricky lighting and slow lenses dont help matters, with the iso at 1600 abit of photoshopping was in order.

Two good bands though, not sure if the To My Boy shots do them justice, they were really energetic but look a little tame in the images

Shot with Olympus E500 14-45mm standard lense w/ wide angle adaptor attached

brought the brownie so ill get them developed, scanned and up soon

Welcome to my World: Work in Progress

2007-10-04T07:30:00.000-07:00

Focusing on the themes of escape, release and perfection (as well as diving!) 'Welcome to my World' is proving to be quiet an interesting project.

These are only the high flying images, the next shoot will be spent focusing on adding more texture and dept to the series, ive also ordered some waterproof casing for my cybershot, so got to start practicing holding my breath

This is a very rough 'rough' inspired by Phillip Allens "Pulp Fiction"

Killer Dog

2007-09-25T07:07:00.000-07:00
