Old Street Art

While I was up near Old Street the other day I got this pic.

And I have to say that I really like it, There are many places in London with this kinda wall art but this one is a little more... how do I say it, Creppy

Love it!

This Week @ Spits

With alot of events coming up in the summer like E.J.C and Southend Lights. So there was alot of chat about them as well. Meeting new folks as well as seeing all the old crowed was great... Gotta love my Tuesday Night Spinning

Tuesday Walk Up East...

For this weeks college course homework (Link) I had to get some street life and to get Street life I had to go out.

White Chapple/Brick Lane/ Liverpool St was the plan and I even got up early enough to get the light, but with my luck being as it has been of late it ended up raining... So my shots really where down to a minamun. You can see the final ones on the site (LINK) but here are a few that did not make the cut.

A new hair cut...

The other night I was asked by my dear fluff to cut her hair...

Now I have a rule about doing my lady's hair, its a simple one... I DON'T!

But I am a softy at heart and can only be asked a few time before I say yes to something and with my Fluff its always a yes.

Street Life, Done!

This is just a blog to let you guys know, Homework for this week is done. Have a look at the site on this LINK.

This one below is my fav but I hope you like them all.

Black Swan.... And Its Good!

For the last few weeks Fluff has been going on about this new ballet movie. being a dancer herself, I have had to watch nearly ever dance flick out there and I know this is no shock to anyone... But there ALL BAD!

Everything from "Save The Last Dance" to "Centre Stage", all shit... Crappy acting by dancers or shitting dancing by actors, Nothing ever changes.

But then Black swan comes out, Directed by Darren Aronofsky, best know for The Wrestler and Requiem for a Dream, Brings a very dark and almost truthful look into the mind of a top class ballet star, But to find her dark swan side, ends up going mental in the search for perfection.

An amazing movie that I say all should watch at lest once if not for the best acting Natalie Portman has ever done, but for the complete mind fuck that Nina(Natalie Portman's Character) goes through.

Happy Birthday Lewis!

Today would have been my oldest brothers 31st birthday.

Lewis was the oldest of the 3 Elliott boys and passed away 5 years ago. Every year my family sends a balloon with a message to him up into the nights sky for his birthday.

A sad day but a happy one for the right reason... Love and miss you brother.

One 2 One

Some people have laugh at me when I have show them Minecraft and I think its fun to just play around in it... But some really take it to another level

I'm not a Know-it-all!!

With another day at college done, I feel a little on the "know it all" side.

It sounds funny and really bad of me but I find myself knowing nearly everything that is shown in my class. Now I know that this is only the 2nd week and knowing my luck its all going to change soon, but when ever something is asked of the class I know the answer.

Now I have read up on photography ALOT since I got my SLR and I know most of my A300s functions like the back of my hand... in most types of shooting I know what needs to be done. What settings you need to shot at night or at midday. Rule of thirds, Depth of Field etc.

Something tells me that in a few weeks I might be reading this and thinking... WOW I was wrong but the point of a blog is to get your troughs down, when you have them.

New Updates

Just to let you guys know that I have updated my Flash site with some of the new pics from the last few weeks, hope you enjoy

Green London Finished

Today I went to Ruskin Park to get the last of the photos for tomorrows homework.

The assignment was to get photos of "Green London", when pushed we were told "Like Parks and stuff" so there is some room for interpretation.

I dont see London as Green, I see it as gray with bits of green in places (I do live in town and not a suburb) so I played with the idea a little.

So there are mixed shots of what I would say is Green London and Parks & Stuff... hehe

Dj Skinny

I'm just putting the finishing touches to my first ever play-list on YouTube.com,

As anyone who reads this blog knows, I love good music and the majour lack of "Good" music has made me crave older tunes more and more these days...

This is to be the start of my

Education (Great Songs from the Past)

play list.

anyways enjoy!

Another 1st for Skinny

Last night I was asked to a Christening...

Now its for the baby girl of my brothers best mate and in a way, a brother as well.

I have also been asked to do the photos for the event and for that and the memory's I would love to do it but then at the same time, I have to think of the way I feel about the church.

I'm not going to get into it but you can never get away from the things you don't like....

So you should just get over it.

ShelterMe

Friday night was going to be a chilled night but...... I swear I have written that before.

ShelterMe was a night put on at Hidden last Friday, A free charity event for "Shelter" a charity that helps find the homeless a place to say and getting them a home of there own.

Anyways... I was set to chill out when I got a text from a friend offering me a ticket to the event and I really felt up for a good dance, Fluff was not feeling it so I went out by myself.

Photos now on the SITE and on DSI.

So Much For Goth?

Last week we went to see a Steam Punk and Goth exhibition.

Fluff, Queenie and I met up at Barbican to see this "Something Different" exhibition...

The long and short of it was that there was a talk about how the east and west have mixed fashion and bounced ideas from each other for the last 2000 years or so.

The chat was ok and it was funny hearing people talk about cloths in such an arty (farty) way. But then when we went on a walk to see the exhibition itself... There was nothing in the way of goth or steam punk at all, just some messed up half manga/easten looking cloths that are made for the CATWALK and just look like shit...

I'm sorry I know some people live that kind of fashion but I'm a man that does love fashion... but it has to be real fashion non of that zoolander Stuff

Skinny... College boy?

Wednesday is now a College day for me, as from last week I am now a college boy hehe.... that does sound so bad. On the day we did not spend very much time in the class room and got out on of the room and had a walk all over the campus to get 10 photos (An Portrait, An image shot at f3.5 etc)

After We had the 10 pics ready we went back to the classroom and went through all the shots together. I was really worried as I did not think my stuff was that good but I was relived to see that everyone's was about the same... no one really stud out but no one was shit as well. I'm looking forward to next week now and to hand in the home work of "Green London"

When I finished I had a little buzz on so I walked around the area to get some more pics. The last one here is from The Imperial War Museum.

Song Of the Night

TUNE!

The Bedford (5/1/2011)

Tonight we went down to The Bedford in Balham for a gig with HappyStreet, Not the 1st but I'm sure its not going to be the last...

There was one other band and 3 more solo performances.

Tom Bradley Did a few songs and was liked very much by the ladies in the crowd and Fluff liked his voice....

BoxFire reminded me a lot of Kings of Leon but I really liked them. I a little harder then the others but they did have a drum kit lol.

I have more photos on the site now (LINK) and I will post the other artist form tonight once I have found their MySpace pages
