Terry and Toby

This is a random guy who we met as he wanted to take a photo of me and Sophie, which I said was fine as long as I got one of him and his dog. I like the way they are both smiling and also that their names both start with 'T' it was pretty cute.

Garden






These are some of the photos of the girls from that days photo-shoot. They all have a fun and happy feel to them with lots of smiles, helped by the golden shine from the sunshine which complements their skin tone beautifully.

Sophie - Passionate Photography




These are photos of my friend Sophie who is a profession photographer covering a range of things from family portraits to sporting events. We spent some time just messing around in a section of burnt forest which is far dirtier than I originally had planned for, but it was a pretty cool back drop.

Nice and UnNice . . . .


These two shots where taken later on in the day when the girls were getting restless and their attention span was beginning to fade, which made it a bit harder to get the right settings and the right actions / facial expressions from them.

In these photos I wanted to have the juxtaposition of the cute petty model with the tatty, rusty background.

Liu Bolin




35-year-old Liu Bolin, from Shandong, China, manages to camouflage himself in any surroundings, no matter how difficult they might be. He works on a single photo for up to ten hours!

He says his art is a protest against the actions of the Chinese Goverment, who shut his studio down in 2005, I say its flipping genius !!!!

Hollow Ponds





These photos where taken five minutes away from my house at a place called Hollow Ponds. Really I went over there to just mess around with a borrowed 450D and get some practice in an extremely sunny environment, it was a very hot and bright day. I played about a lot with shutter speed, aperture, iso's and focus settings ect. to try and get a good mix to create correctly light shots. It was actually quite difficult not to over expose certain areas whilst under exposing others.

Here we mostly have close ups of some foliage, I really like the photos of the due on the grass you get some interesting shapes and re-fractions of the light in the droplets.

Dawn - Sharks in Her Hair

This song is called ' Dawn ' it was predominately written by Dre with vocals preformed by Lee. I lent a helping hand with regards to vocals but must of the work was done by Lee and Dre. This song is probably our most evolved piece of music to date, unlike most of our stuff it has a drum line, guitar layers and a solid structure.

Again this is not the fully finished article but I do think it shows real progression and has the potential to be a very good song, seen as it shows its self to be very catchy if you listen to it a few times. So go ahead try it for yourself. . . Sorry if the volume is a bit low.


Also press the play button below for a straight up acoustic version of the above song.

Initial names for band and album - Achilles Heel, Last Minute
