So summer is here in the UK. Or Spring. Or that weird spring-summer thing we have every year in May after the snow and before the rain – and the cloudy school holidays. It makes me feel nostalg...
All the cool kids are doing it. What do I mean? 35mm of course. Remember that stuff we used before there were phones that could make toast, give you relationship advice and clean your car on a Sunday...
Well folks, it’s here! Cutaway Magazine is available to buy! We have collected together the poetry, prose and photos of twenty one contributors from around the world to make, some might say, th...
So I think it was November when I saw another bloggers post about losing faith in the portfolio website Model Mayhem because the models were just so unreliable. The post explained the websites purpos...
So we’re there, its been a long and rocky road, we sprained our ankle and got lost (we’re still lost actually) I don’t really write anything of any quality anymore but I take more p...
The weather this week has been so dreadful, but after work was rained off at lunchtime on Wednesday it suddenly brightened up. So I grabbed my fav model Megan and we tested out some new lenses up Ri...
So this is efficiency – four photo shoots summarised in one blog post. So there’s been another shoot with Megan (allowing a blog header change). We visited Castlefield and Piccadilly Gar...
I had in mind to publish some poems since recently I have posted far too many photos. I have writing to post, I always try to make images and write at the same time. What I find difficult is to wr...
After a few false starts, today I got my first shoot with a model off the Model Mayhem website!! We went to Leigh, an old industrial town near Wigan, and shot in a park that used to be an open-cast m...
My classes began again this week for my MA course. This semester is all about the context around our writing, the wider community and all that – hence cutaway, the project we started up over Christm...
The picture below shows most (but not all) of the cameras I’ve been given this year. In fact add to this a Canon T70 and Pentax MZ7 from my friend Liam (whose lenses I have used on my DSLR tha...
So, January is depressing… And I haven’t had the motivation to do any of my 101 challenges (see tab above for the list) in ages. Think you could do better? No, really, could you do bett...
I’ve done too much internetting in January. Is that a verb? Internet-browsing perhaps. Now I hate it. I also did too much photographing too, and I’m mourning the breakage of my DSLR w...
So I failed. Challenge 69, I quote ‘Go vegetarian for a month, Ooo this is going to be so hard.’ But now I’m wishing I stuck to it because after visiting Chao-Baby at the Trafford ...
Now there’s a lomography gallery shop in Manchester – with an already strong following – I decided to address the phenomena that is Lomography. So film is dead! Long live digital! Kodak is going bus...
Meaning – it’s the point in my MA Creative Writing course where we have to put stuff in for marking. I’m about 70% less confident this semester than I was last semester (when I was...
Does it sound weird when you say it to yourself? Two thousand and twelve. It was the nineteen nineties for so long. I learnt how to write putting the date carefully at the top of the page and pract...
