Weddings (and the quality of the Sigma 85mm 1.4)
Last week I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of my old university housemate.The service, speeches – the entire day in general, were just a joy. It’s the first time I’d shot a wedding ...

The TSA
After reading about some of the things the TSA has been up to recently, I thought I’d remix one of my old posters. Obviously I think that airport security is generally a good thing, but this feels like it’s gone too far.

The Widow
A new set up on Flickr. Contains some nudity. This started life as two separate shoots, but they seemed to go together too well not to combine into a single narrative.

Day of the Dead
Ever since travelling to Mexico in 2003 (and of course Grim Fandango) I’ve had love for Day of the Dead. I’ve been working on putting something together for a few weeks now, and after a false start or two we’ve finally manged to put something together. Many thanks to Kate, Kate and Joe (models and bodypainting respectively). A few more shots after the jump. More can be found on flickr.

Carry On
I needed something to remind myself that in most day-to-day work situations, everyone is just pretending to know what’s happening. There’s a PDF here, if this is something you’d like to be reminded of (and a desktop too). And remember; Keep Calm. Nobody else knows what they’re doing either.

Moor Music Festival
Listed as one of the NME’s Top 30 Festivals to Visit in 2009 and The Observers’s Top Ten Independent Festivals, Moorfest 09 was the best and most beautiful one yet! 2010 aims to top this with more excellent, cutting edge and exciting acts, more quirks, interactivity and art, more of that lush n lovely Yorkshire landscape and, quite frankly, more fun than you can shake a stick at.

Science is Like Sex…

Pale Blue Dot
‘Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.’
Every so often Reddit exposes me to a quote so poignant that I have to illustrate it. These quotes often belong to Carl Sagan (though I would imagine he would’ve said they belong to humanity). Hopefully my edit does his words justice.

Health Care Reform
Nice to see that the healthcare bill passed in America. This is a bastardisation of a quote that’s been attributed to many from Ghandi to Churchill (and here), but is one that I feel is rather appropriate. The US just got a bit better, well done guys. First five people who can prove they spent a week or more actively campaigning for the bill can have a free copy of the above.

For once Benjamin consented to break his rule, and he read out to her what was written on the wall.
A few weeks ago I was asked by Breadpig to design a t-shirt and poster based on perhaps the best known passage from Animal Farm;
‘For once Benjamin consented to break his rule, and he read out to her what was written on the wall. There was nothing there now except a single Commandment. It ran: ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS’

Doug’s Law
The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair – Douglas Adams (via IanCal)
This has gone through countless revisions, probably because I’m such a fan, and doing something visual in the style of such an iconic writer is almost impossible (which I guess is why the Hitch Hikers film was so disappointing).
This print is no substitute for a good towel. -

Everything else is commentary
Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. Everything else is commentary. This seems to us to be one of the central threads that runs through every rational person, be they religious, atheist, or ‘other’.

There are 59 skulls in this image
Apparently, according to Harvard Medical School, 45,000 Americans die a year due to lack of Universal Healthcare. That’s 58 times the number of people who die yearly due to terrorism, at least according to the US Department of State (although we’re not entirely sure what they class as ‘terrorism’).
