FIRST SOLARGRAPH WOO!

Here is the result of mine and Eggy's first solargraph experiment! It was set up in Eggy's garden at 7:45am today and stopped around 6pm. When we took the paper out of the film we didn't think we would end up with anything but you can make just make out his house, a palm tree and a couple of ufos. LOL. This was taken with the Phoenix II and we dedicate it to all the rescued Chilean Miners.

Right. Ok. I'm gonna ignore the 'we sale cellphone, computer...' and I'll even ignore the 'we can have long-time cooperation.' But WTF IS THAT LAST BIT!?? 'Me of course malicious...from touch of dark corners of the mouth...' WHAAAAAAAAATTTTT!??? You should check out the website too, it's real dodgy.

Alli? Isn't that that weight loss drug that makes you shit out your own fat? You mean I can really have a party where I bring all my cankle-bearing friends round and shit ourselves together? Now that's what I call socialising!

Solargraph fail.

Ok so Sputnik failed its first mission. Actually...that was my fault sorry...I put the photographic paper in the wrong way round. SCHOOL BOY ERROR. But don't worry, we have back ups and I'm gonna set up some more tonight.


Also, I fear my teeth are falling out.

Solargraph camera building

Tonight myself and Eggy have been/are making solargraph cameras. It's like a pinhole camera only you use photography paper instead of film and the images are usually exposed for long periods of time from anything up to a day to 6 months! There is a better explanation HERE (They are mainly used to track the patterns of the sun in the sky, hence the name)

ANYWAY...Here are some photos of our attempts at building some ready to experiment.

Tools: A lightproof container, a pin, photography paper, black paint, tape, aluminium can, sand paper.

Right, apologies for the explanation right now on all this.....currently Sputnik is set up and running as a tester as I speak, hopefully taking a photo of me and Eggy uploading photos of us making things to take photos of things. confusing ey! But in a minute I'm gonna go home and take out the paper in Sputnik, scan it in and see if it worked!

daily photo

This is one of my favourite photos I have taken. It's of Jubilee Pool in Penzance which was built in 1935 to mark the Silver Jubilee of King George V and is one of the few remaining Art Deco lidos in the entire country. It would of looked nicer if I had a wider angle lense but I love how the colours turned out making it look really retro despite being taken this year. I'm really getting back into photography so fingers crossed you will see a lot more of my stuff on here.

it's about misbehaving. not giving a fuck. loving the people closest to you without holding back. appreciating every tiny little action that has a reaction. running away and then being reunited. getting lost. and then being found. and then getting lost. looking up. winning, but being ok with losing. living life as a soul, not a body. being utterly contempt in a room with your own head. but also totally ecstatic when those rare people lift you. knowing where you have been and where you're going. or not. it's about freedom. and fear. and sadness. and pain. moving on and letting go. making it what you make it. being in total control of the uncontrollable.

I love everything that matters to me with all my heart right now! Thank you SKY!!!!

Spike Jonze film response (CRINGE)

Remember me telling you about how good the Creators Project was? Well there was a video booth where you had to answer a series of questions in response to Spike Jonze's short film 'I'm here.' I had no idea what I was going to be asked and this was shot very recently after my break up so I gave the dumbest least emotional response ever so ENJOY! haha, oh and dario opens it up!
