First Time Here?

If this is your first time here (and came via Yahoo!), hello! You might want to check out what is here...


millennium bridge london, van gogh style
This is a photo of the London Millennium Bridge taken with an ancient Polaroid SX-70 camera bought for L7 off eBay. The emulsion stays soft for hours after taking a photo and can be manipulated using sticks or anything sharp that you can find lying around. So there is no Photoshop in this picture.

More Polaroid manipulations of London can be viewed at the Polaroid Manipulations Category.

At right are other categories and images to see here - some of them might take a little while to load, though! You can also search for images at the right hand side. (Look up stuff like "snow"!)

Might take some time out tomorrow to take some photos, but it's so overcast and drab! I'm just back from seeing Australian band Powderfinger play at the Hammersmith Apollo here in London. Everyone had camera phones and held up the phones during "classic songs" so their friends could hear. I wonder if anyone posted to their weblogs during the show? And does this kind of thing really annoy you in excess or is it just me...

What a great technique - especially for those of us who so naturally turn to Photoshop for creativity. I'll have to try that someday (not that I can find the equipment here in Indonesia).

Did you get any photos of Powderfinger? Weren't they just brilliant! I must admit I did have my digital ELPH there with me, but the pics weren't that great cause there were so many tall people standing in front of us shorties! I found your site on google and think it is magnificent and very inspiring. Thank you.

Unfortunately, no pics -- we were in Row Y of the dress circle, behind two girls who got into a catfight, and next to people who drank endless cups of beer. Still, I had an excellent time!

Beautifully done. And it's nice to come across another UK photoblog at photoblogs.org :-)

Absolutely amazing your site! Cannot wait you to go with your camera to the Abney Park Cemetery at Stoke Newington N16!
