Right now ive been hoarding as many books as possible on the whole photography scene, anyone would think im starting my own library also got some books on photoshop so i can hopefully create some artful masterpieces…one step at a time eh

So the themes that seem to draw me in in are dark, gothic, fantasy type works although im a long way off getting to do this kind of work its nice to know where i started to think and where I actually end up after all the practice. I have a project up my sleeve for the future but will have to keep that hush for now just in case someone steals my idea.

Last week was a bit of a disaster photo wise, as i went to see a great new girl band The Scarletz play one of their first gigs in Embassy in Mayfair, London. Great set and although i took pictures they were a bit dark as i only brought my standard digital camera, not my SLR.

Another picture that i took which I found rather cool is the lasers that were on overkill during the gig (again not the best quality

Overkill Lasers

Oh and for a shameless plug visit The Scarletz Website

Also went to Whistable during the weekend, mostly the area is pretty picturesque but did see a great photo opportunitiy when it was pouring with rain of two rubber ducks floating in the gutter by the road side. Only trouble was i left my memory card in my laptop at home..doh!! Here was the cause of this rather strange sight anyway Whitstable Shopkeeper Driven Quackers Link

well thats all for now…until tomorrow me thinks!

Song of the Day: Glass by Bat for Lashes – a really nice chilled out song, looking forward to seeing them in October

What I am Reading: Only read July’s issue of British Journal of Photography, not much worth noting apart from the great work of Nick Knight.
