Huge NY Antiwar Protest

NEW YORK - Tens of thousands of protesters marched Saturday through lower Manhattan to demand an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, just hours after this month’s death toll reached 70.
The demonstrators stretched for about 10 blocks as they headed down Broadway. Organizers said 300,000 people marched, though a police spokesman declined to give [...]

Fake Miniatures

Well, it had to happen. The fake miniature photoshopping craze is sweeping the nets. And I have succumbed!
The best tutorial is here. (Note that for my first effort, I’ve used my own pic of Charing Cross Station. It looks pretty much the same as a test pic in the tutorial, I’m guessing because they were [...]

Bread And Circuses

Neil Young - “Let’s Impeach The President”

Earlier this year, Neil Young told Rolling Stone,”I’m always going from one extreme to another.” True to form, just months after the release of his studio album Prairie Wind, the legendary singer-songwriter is returning with the incredibly politically charged Living With War. On the album, whipped up in just two angry weeks earlier this month, [...]

I love taking photos. I’ve even been lucky enough to get paid to take photos and had them published. But I know when someone has a better eye than me. It makes me jealous, sad and a bit crazy but you have to realise, as an artist, when someone [...]

My Easter Sermon

God, earlier today. Lovely feller, the almighty.
Catholic group Opus Dei has asked for a disclaimer to be placed on the film of The Da Vinci Code, released next month.
