This is the first time I’ve tried shooting a male body and it’s bloody difficult. I used two flashes and some tungsten fill but I didn’t achieve the kind of sculptural look I wanted. Still, not completely terrible for a first attempt. I need to work loads more on lighting and exposure.
I’d like to [...]

In the above piccy, you can see all the social neworking sites I’m currently on. Two MySpace profiles (one for me, one for my band), Everyone’s Connected, Friendster and, lately, Hi 5.

This week’s top new tune was the idyllic ‘Sixteen’ by Seven Ark. Sorry I couldn’t find a better piccy for you but if you have a google yourself, you’ll see that finding info about Mr. Ark is very, very difficult. Aaaanyway.. ‘Sixteen’ is prime glitch-pop, juddering along with bass clunks and a rhythm section comprised [...]
