One of my Newark pictures has been used, in montage, as part of the new paperback edition of Eoin Colfer’s Plugged.
Here’s the original:

Driving and shooting with the lurid hedgehog… safety first people.
Autumnal LA

Not a bad place to be in November, especially if you’re from England.
MGU opening

It looked like a packed opening. Not in that picture, but when it actually opened.
Here’s a picture of not me, standing by my picture.
Amazing tattoos whoever you are.
The actual, real end of film?
14 November 2011 | Miscellaneous
Given all the tedious film vs. digital debating I’ve heard over the years, most of which entirely misses the point that there should, ideally, be a creative process going on here, whatever your chosen medium, nothing has made me think the end is nigh more than looking at Kodak’s share price:
No more Tri-X when Kodak goes under and there is no more influential factor on that eventuality than the share price. Ilford might be around a bit longer, but as they’re private who knows? They already went bust once in 2004. There’s always wet plates I guess.
Film is about the only product on the planet, that I can think of, that isn’t being cloned in China. Maybe they’ll pick that up when Kodak finally dies and sell it for $10 a roll in the Lomo stores.
Milk Gallery Underground Autumn 2011
12 November 2011 | Photography
I’ve had this picture selected for the Milk Gallery Underground Autumn 2011 show in NYC. 16×20 C-print, edition of ten. The opening is on the 17th, so next Thursday. I can’t make it unfortunately, but if you’re in the city check it out. Apparently there will be DJ’s…
Subsequently there will be an MGU Zine and online store (live from 22nd November), which will be selling this as well as that bird picture I took in Newark:
Childhood terrors revisited, part 1: The Boy from Space
3 November 2011 | Miscellaneous
They made us watch this at school when I was definitely no more than six, probably five.
From the BBC, “…a Look and Read series about an alien boy called Peep-Peep who some kids help save from a Terminator-style stalker.”
“I’ve had a lot of e-mails from traumatised former viewers…“
Lacking prerequisites

What do you do when you can’t scan your negatives because your scanner is 6,000 miles away? Shoot digital? That would be smart. Instead I’m mostly wandering around with an old Hasselblad and rearranging my website:
