When did Facebook Get Email?

As I was flicking through facebook today I was asked if i wished to set up my email on F.B

Now I herd a while back that FB wanted to move into something new along the lines of MSN and I'm guessing that this is a start on that. This should be fun as most people spend alot of there online time on FB! I think Hotmail and yahoo could feel the pinch sooner then you may realize with people being just as lazy online as they are in REAL life!

Blast from the Past!

Today I did alot of things but one of the things I did was to bring my brothers PS2 home.

I know some of you might thing way skinny would be bring last Gens console into his flat and I have one word for you

"Wipeout"

Fluff told me long ago that she had 2 games that she loved playing, One was wipeout and the other was Soul Calibur. And as a good boyfriend and a gamer I spent some time hunting down some of the titles, last year I got her Soul Calibur IV for the 360 (and Yes that is the one with Yoda in it).

Wipeout on the other had was a little harder, for 2 reasons....

1. Wipeout was developed and published by Psygnosis and that's a Sony company.
2. I'm not sure how she would keep up with the newer vasions of the game so the classic would be the best.

Also she LOVED the music of the 1st game so I started looking around for a 1996 release of the game and found it on eBay for 0.99p. Now with my brothers playstation, Fluff can play some classic 96 gaming with all the mods of the 21st century

Nature With Added Magic

This weeks homework was a bit of a stretch for me, it was "Nature" and I feel like we have already done this earlier in the course, With "Green London" and "Landscapes" I feel like I got a lot of a natural look...

So I went to Dulwitch woods in south London with my brother and his boy, It was a magical day with the boys as we walked around an old place we played as kids.

Photos are now live on that site on this LINK.

HDR Homework DONE!!

College Home work this week was HDR (high-dynamic-range imaging).

When you take a photo you can never get all of the eliments in one shot. There is no way of getting all the detail form the Darkest dark all the way to the lightest light. The idea behind HDR is to take more then three or more photos at different exposure and then join them together.

I put up a blog with the test pic early (VW Camper van) so you get the idea but I have now handed the homework in so check out the site or click this LINK

The Streets

On Saturday Last week A friend took me to see The Streets.

Some of my non English fans might not know who the streets are but I think I know the song that you would have herd them in...

Remember now? Good.

Well It was at Brixton Acc and was also(I did not know this before hand) was there last tour. Original pirate material was one of the 1st vinyl I got when my brother took up Djing and I have been a fan since, Living in Stockholm I always had it on my phone to remind me of London, The real side of London that I came from.

Anyway's after the show we headed up to the VIP area as the friend that got the tickets does some work with Mike Skinner. While back there we ended up meeting the man himself. A really nice and down to earth guy (I tryed not to nerd out) but had to ask him something, So I asked about a turn of his that always reminded me of Mass (Blinded By The Lights and The Mass Club in Brixton), Turns out it has nothing to do with it, but I still think it, hehe

Missing Skinny?

Hey there guys...

Ok This is not going to be a full blog but I just wanted to let you all know that I'm still alive and well (or as well as I can be).

With everything that has happend of late I have not had time to update you guys and as at my work I cant update as well, I will have to do it on a day when i'm not as crazy busy.

Look forward to my meeting of Mike Skinner, meeting up for loads of my friends over a crazy weekend and the hope of a new opening in my life.... All to come soon so keep an eye open for a skinny boy in London

Swedes screwed by Their Own System

Follow this story...

Your in an accident or ill and your on your way to the doctors, You get their and you find out that you have to see someone that has not yet finished their training. You ask can I see a fully trained doctor and they say nope, The people in charge don't wanna pay them the money that they should after going through the education.

Bit of a shitty story right....

Well this same thing is happening all over Sweden with their Dancers, ok ok I know that doctors are very different from dancers but as my girl is a dancer is pretty fucking important to me(and her)

Its come out that the head of one of the biggest dance schools in Stockholm is putting its student's into work that professional dancers should be getting and causing the standards to slip and the money payed tobe lowered.

Dancers go through alot in their training and if their money and jobs are not their are the end of their education then who is going to go through the hurt and pain, trails and trumps to become a great dancer.

This is not just happing in all the big talent shows where their unwilling to pay professional dancers like Swedish Idle and eurovision song contest are doing this all the time.

Sorry to the readers that are not Swedish and dancers but I just felt that this needed to be said somewhere that is not going to disappear once the news feed refreshes

Food For Thought & College

With another day of turning the flat up side down (It is a studio flat after all) I have finally finished my college photos for food.

This time I wanted to go for a really arty look and I think i might have got just what I was after.

With Chilli Cheese, Scottish Mussles, Bread as well as Apples bananas and Peaches like you might have never seen them before.

For the FULL set click on this LINK

I was just looking at a friends Facebook page (Louise May Photography)

It showed a cool concept with taking portrays of people while they took portrays of themselfs (Emo Style) I just find that it gets a moment in time that you only see from the angle of the 1st camera and not from the 3rd person... Come check it out on this LINK

I would love to put one of there pics up BUT I really don't want to brake the copyright ideal

I might try something with Fluff later to show you but there is a LINK to the site to see it for yourself!
