Cars

2009-01-15T12:43:00.001Z

Last Friday, my wife was in a minor car accident. However, it was 'minor' enough for the car to be written off. Today, someone went into the back of my car. Fortunately, my cars is OK (save for a couple of scratches). 2008 was a shit year for loads of reasons, 2009 hasn't started off that good either.
Today I am pissed off. Big Time.

Chest

2009-01-08T15:35:00.002Z

Today has been hard work. I'm still not feeling that much better. Although I no longer feel as bad as I did, I seem to be only getting so far in making a recovery. Today my chest is tight and I just have no enthusiasm to get up and do anything. Work is OK, but I cant get motivated, my room is a tip and I cant be arsed to tidy it. I'm ploughing on with Kris's wedding photos which seem to be taking me an age. Hopefully I'll have themn done by the weekend. Hopefully.

Went to the Art College today. Fantastic place. Brought back lots if memories from when I did my Foundation. The Smells, the materials, the experimentation. The Mess!

My Window is a Hazzard

2009-01-05T15:34:00.003Z

Another day gone. Had an email on 'housekeeping' today, was told to clear the window in the door to my room as it is a Hazzard. Ok, I'll accept that but it's bloody annoying having everyone look in too, feels like I'm on show.

January, Back at work

2009-01-05T12:17:00.002Z

Back at work having spent a two week break with all the family being ill. I wasnt looking forward to coming back really, but now I've started its not that bad. However, its is bloody freezing, and I would rather be at home.

DIY Ring Flash

2008-02-29T12:29:00.010Z

I've always fancied playing about with or even owning a Ring Flash, but, they are expensive. A few weeks ago I noticed that you can buy an adpator for the Canon 580Ex, but even they are £150 plus . So, being one of them creative types I decided to make my own! Far more fun and I do enjoy a good challenge. And...Ta daaah! Here's the result. It was a 'TV Job', i.e. I made it in front of the TV. Its not as good as a 'proper' ring flash but it does a fairly decent/intersting job. On the 580EX you have to crank the exposure up to +3 stops to get a good coverage of light.
