they continue...



yes, another panorama from a video. i know, i need some new projects...

this one is of my uni halls, edited together from literally hundreds of frames taken from a 2 minute video. im thinking of exhibiting it along with the sound from the video. the idea is to highlight how we attempt to capture place and environment in video, and how this media distorts and influences what it captures. hohum. the image is huge, you gotta make the click to see it properly.

new things are to appear soon, because i really feel like ive run the course with these things...

atp lomographic tragedy

well, the honeymoon period is over. my new holga medium format camera decided to play up like that cheap plastic turd it is during ATP (amazing festival), with the flash cacking up and ruining about 70% of my shots. So, no pics of Thurston from the front row, or of Aphex's great lightshow. Nevertheless, there was a couple of choice shots. these images are rough scans of the negatives from uni's (godawful, old, dirtyheaded) scanner, so when i get prints made professionally its looking like a lot of the contrast/colour balance will shift immensely.





updates? what are these updates?

well, im slow. i know it, and i apologise. nothing has been added from the last few months, as nothing of note (frankly) has taken place. im embroiled in a long running struggle with electricians and MDF to build lightboxes for my film motion panoramas (see below a few posts) that has seen a vast chunk of my year eaten up for no good cause. however, with a bit of luck and elbow grease and sandpaper, theyll be ready extremely soon, and ill have some images to upload. in the meantime, ill hopefully show y'all some of the smaller projects i have underway.

easy listening:

boredoms- super roots 8/9
boris/merzbow- rock dream
earth- hex
battles- mirrored
joinedbywire- forthcoming cdr (more on this soon?)
