The Quixotic Gymnastic Drifter

I witness some odd things in my day job. This sight was spotted outside Bolton Magistrates court. People react to cameras in different ways, I've not seen many do this on cue before.

foxy folk faced-ocean colour scene.( so much to few )

I think everybodys after me
They want to know just what I feel
Pushing wires under my nose
Everybody's standing on my toes
Telling the world what i should know

You said you'd seen life from near the floor
You opened every closing door

Thankyou for always being there
All the nights in which we shared
And we know we're always there

If it ever gets you down
You know I'll always be around
Coz too much just aint enough


We - we who are your property
Whose every single move you see
We dont mind your prying eyes
We dont mind all your lies
Or the headlines that you write

(if you cant find something in this song that shakes hands with something inside you, then something other than nothing is something you should be aspiring to)

Apple

She didn't land on anyone's head, wasn't offered to Eve, certainly wasn't a Macintosh, was never bobbed, lived for 3 months and was forbidden to all.

Were you tempted?

The Leafman Prophecies

As im aware, this could be percieved as insanity, perception being the toolbox for reality, weve got a utility belt.
Working for the press can suppress. So were trying to do things a little different. Every year theres certain inevitable stories which will be published from...economic turbulence to freak weather conditions all the way through to footballers behaving badly. It can get pretty mundane capturing the same shot year in year out so as press photographers by trade, its our job to find a new approach to find/make/manipulate a picture to make it feel new,sometimes it works most times it doesnt but its important to exercise the fat obese lazy creative fucker in our heads. some are quite happy with the kid sledging picture every year and will continue to be so until they hang their cameras up. Some people just arent that creative, im not having a go, its just the way it is.
Anyway...in pictures we tried to to show that winter was late...a mundane topic full of climate propaganda created by slow news days,.make of it what you will, we had a laugh doing it and it wasnt just for the papers it was a good form of exorcism and a way of working that beats the shit outta the ordinary press stuff.  Heres to thinking out of the box, or maybe thats what everyone does now, so theirs more space inside the box..
get um out! MERRY CHRISTMAS X

Innovation has a habit to set you up for pleasant suprises.
We went to price black backdrops up at Calumet...about 60 quid!! the stands were 150 quid!! as we were only doing this shoot for our own curiosity, we used my black tent (its seen more festivals than rolf harris) hung from the light fitting by the guide ropes and lit it from the side with a flash, on a mono pod, jammed between a chair and the settee... we went through about 20 cigs, so i hope the pictures please at least someone as we contracted a terminal illness in the name of Art. Also a massive thankyou to Mick "chubby fuck" wrigley, whos playful, child like, peado curiosities discovered that you can actually blow friggin smoke into a bubble!!

Feel free to insult
