Only a lyric from the Editors... But, all the same - try keep up.
I measured the kitchen lastnight, I am crap at measuring, for someone that loved "graphic drawing" at high school... Maybe I'm crap at it cause I didn't have a big slide ruler and some 3B pencils... My faves...
Anyway, yeah... We're going to meet up for coffee, just coffee. no snacks, no chocolate... Just coffee.
Got a message on Flickr lastnight as a result of my Ixus pictures from wireless festival, A guy that promotes fansites for festivals... Anyways, he's asked if I'd go to festivals for him, if he gets me the tickets, to shoot. Would I what!!... Errr, yeah.. I don't get cash, but, I get good music and I get more photos for my portfolio!.. Ideal really.. Portfolio, lets mull that over for a minute - Is it just a collection of stuff I shoot?.. Is it my best work?.. I dont know what my best work is cause it's all subjective, right?... Like, right now, I like (amongst other things) dark and dimly lit stuff, I like high contrast, I like crazy lighting, I like blown out highlights!... Hell, call me an amateur, but hey... that's what I like.
Like this... "Black and White Hands"
So, yeah.. interesting, I wonder if anything will come of it?
I don't think I need a new camera... I might get another 30D body though, maybe... Or, a 40D body for my primary and keep the 30D as a backup... Not sure... I was chatting to a relative who, as it happens, has had multiple magazine covers over the last few years (I saw them all) he shoots with an ancient Pentax filmy.. It's a classic old camera and the results he pulled out of it were amazing. He showed me some macro shots - I was blown away. See, it ain't always the gear, infact, I'd say it was the person, not the gear in most cases... Depends on what you're shooting, right?.. Well, anyway... no point beating a dead horse.... I like dots today!
Random Fact: did you know that my kitchen is longer by three centimetres on the left side?
Keep with me, Keep with me...

Why no, no I did not know that. I feel very enlightened now.
That is excellent news Simon! Top job. *high five's* Free gigs! To do photography! SCORE. That will be fabulous.
Why did you measure your kitchen anyway? And ooh 3B's. Never tried those actually but I have tried 2B's and 4B's and 6B's and 8B's and 10B's. Yessum.
Who's meeting up for coffee exactly?
Portfolio ... best shots I think ... maybe get someone to help selct those e.g. BCA? It's important to keep building on what you have there & you've done so many great shoots of bands & travel etc so put em up I'd say!!
So much to do & so little time ....
