• Pill Spill (#28212)

  I thought this shot would take many many takes and many many pills, but I only had the one pill… Instead of trying to make the pill explode, I just split it and sprinkled the powder, then rotated the photo.

• Graveyard (#25727)

  So we broke into the Leicester Graveyard… well… not exactly. We got there at 8 and stayed until 11 – after the gates have closed so had to climb over the fence and avoid CCTV… It’s an amazing place for a photo-shoot anyway, if a little creepy.

• Enlightened (#25512)

  This is an example of great design. Might have been accidental, with the tree coincidentally growing over the light, in either case, it makes a really striking pattern on the church wall.

• Shakey (#25397)

  Another project to be retried. I mostly saved this for the idea. Set a self timer on the camera, drench a broken keyboard in water (on the second attempt all keyboards will be) and shake it up and down. I would like to attempt this with my hand on the keys to create the effect…

• 100th Post: Laser Show (#20000) (#20014)

  Quite a coincidence that my 100th post starts off with a nice round number! I photographed this laser show which was a part of an Art project by a few guys from northampton. Basically they shot a 50W laser from the top of the “National Lift Tower” (yup, that’s a thing) across the whole county.…

• Zombie (#16772)

  Another “Project”. Found some old plasticine, opened up a red felt-tip pen and voila – twisted white zombie with a severed arm… Possibly the weirdest thing I’ve photographed…

• Grunge (#16294)

  I think this photo is what started the reign of terror that my camera became to my friends. This is probably the colour cross-process number 3 on the Lightroom menu of stock presets. As much as I hate using them, they do have a nice hipstery/grungy look to them. It fits the picture anyway I…

• Look Back (#14656)

  Another from the day out in Leicester in ’12. This guy was just practicing flips around these church ruins, as you do. Naturally we asked for a photo.

• Candid? (#14556)

  These are no longer in chronological order because I cant read. Anyway, this was 2 years ago, out and about in Leicester with Photography Society peeps, same day as the ladybird, market and cat-in-window shot and probably the next couple of “Chronicles” posts. These old cars were parked outside City Rooms and this lady was smoking…
