vote for my photo
2008-01-22 16:42:00 The above photo is entered for JPG Mag’s Noir theme. The description of the theme is “The dark and brooding images that evoke everything from films of the past to the haunted streets of the night. Noir is about the black and the white, the grainy imperfection of the world” so if you think ... More About: Photo , Vote

we who dance do not shoot me
2008-01-08 22:07:00 Go here, type in anything (song lyrics or slogans are good for giggles), translate from English to Japanese, then from Japanese back into English. It’s worryingly amusing. The chorus of Mr Brownstone by Guns ’n'Roses came out as follows… His abnormal play you want it is he and thing and the stone and Brown of ... More About: Dance , Shoot

corsets and animal guts
2008-01-03 13:20:00 Ever notice how sometimes Gmail’s targeted ads are sometimes totally out of whack? I have three messages sitting in my inbox, all work related so all to do with photography, yet the little text ad at the top of the page says “BBC News | UK | UK Edition - ‘Standardised’ social care urged”. ...

Offering
2007-12-31 02:35:00 The only thing worse than treating a human life as a commodity is to allow yourself to be treated as one. To relinquish responsibility for your thoughts and actions, and for the consequences of your thoughts and actions. To blame a non-existent parent-figure of god or government or the great exalted media for your own ...
Urban Decay
2007-12-29 01:28:00 A tribute to those days when you feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders and you’re sitting in the little box that is your apartment, surrounded by other people in their own little boxes, all feeling like that weight of the world is on their shoulders too. Together, alone, we hold ... More About: Urban
Dying Tickles
2007-12-27 23:58:00 Dying tickles…said by Ralph Wiggum in The Simpsons , one of the few cartoons in which someone dies and stays dead (although thankfully Ralph is still in the land of the animated living). Do we corrupt children’s minds with violent images in horror movies or do we give them a false concept of death by showing ... More About: Dying , Tick
8 inches of deep love
2007-12-11 03:04:00 Open Google. Search for ‘8 inches of deep love’. What’s the first result? Is it RockstarVanity.com? Or maybe this entry now, I might’ve fucked it up… How do I know this? I was looking at my stats for RSVcom and noticed ‘8 inches of deep love’ in the search terms people ... More About: Love , Deep
Alt blues, me(ez) and extreme cuteness
2007-12-10 18:52:00 I had a shoot with alt blues nutter and provider of wonderful buscuits, Dave Arcari, on Saturday. I managed to successfully navigate my way through Glasgow with the aid of Google Maps, which may not sound like a big deal but if you’ve ever been in a car with me when I’m ...

Burlesque Queen
2007-12-02 23:11:00 I had a shoot with Leyla Rose on Saturday and it was lovely. Leyla has most definitely been granted muse status. Working with her is so much fun and we always end up taking things a little further than planned. A studio shoot for promo stuff for an up-coming burlesque ...

Lazarus Butterfly
2007-11-23 23:22:00 Butterflies totally creep me out, but I couldn’t resist this one. He’s been lying in the same position on the floor next to the window on my building for ages, and I thought he was dead so I went to take some photos. I couldn’t bring myself to touch him so I poked ... More About: Creative , Dark , Butterfly , Lazarus
Absence makes the blog grow a wee bit crap
2007-11-18 22:27:00 I have been completely wank at blogging lately. I’ve hardly written here, I haven’t been reading anyone else’s blogs…completely wank. I’ve been sucked into various things, including but not limited to, the SocialMoth application on Facebook, using the new gallery organisation tools at deviantART, watching comedy porn like Emmanuelle vs Dracula, making an effort ...

Pink, it?s my new obsession
2007-10-31 19:02:00 How chuffed am I to have pretty friends who like having their picture taken? Very. The lovely Smu has her own special brand of sinister cuteness which I can’t get enough of. I love images which combine beauty with something a little darker, glamorous pictures that have an uncomfortable sort ... More About: Creative , Photography , Pink , Kitty , Obsession
Cake or death!
2007-10-30 18:47:00 Best birthday cake ever, eh? I can’t take credit for the cake (or the birthday) but it was fun attacking it and eating it. Just in case anyone thinks I’m murdering people’s cakes without permission, the photos were taken at the request of the birthday girl, who is also the person ...

Werewolf? There wolf!
2007-10-29 18:39:00 I had a very fun shoot with horror-burlesque beauty, Leyla Rose a couple of weeks ago (I know, it’s taken me this long to blog about it…life has been busy). Having watched Leyla transform herself from retro-styled pretty lady to fierce and sexy werewolf (complete with two rows of nipple tassels), we ...

Like A Stone
2007-10-18 09:53:00 Thank you to D for modelling, and to Corneilius for the fabulous wings. I seem to be using this blog more and more for venting when I feel like crap. It doesn’t make for the most interesting reading, but I need to get this stuff out. I’m actually not a horribly negative person who ... More About: Photography , Issues , Stone , Back , Insomnia
Darker Blue
2007-10-15 20:01:00 I’ve become more than a little obsessed with very low saturation blue-ish ISO 1600 slightly-fetish hinting-at-something-darker photos. I’m working on a series. I need to recruit willing participants. I don’t know where it’s going to lead or what I’m going to do with the finished collection, but I know this makes me happy. There’s something ...

2007-10-09 00:50:00 I love Urban Decay. They make eyeshadow the same colour as my eyes. That makes me happy. More About: Photography , Blue
Things change
2007-10-07 15:31:00 Big news. I’ve stopped working for the magazine. It was a difficult decision and a horrible one to have to make, but it was the best thing to do. I need to put my health first, and no job (not matter how much I love it) is worth sacrificing that for. ... More About: Change , Things , Chang , Chan
This life.
2007-10-05 23:25:00 This is a kind of old picture. I found it the other day while going through the archives updating RockstarVanity.com (my portfolio site). It kind of sums up how I’m feeling right now. Today has sucked. I’ve been treading on thin ice lately with the whole work/health balance thing and it ... More About: Life , Love , Issues , Back

Promise
2007-09-29 15:49:00 Weird blackout moment earlier today. I was talking on the phone to a friend (the lovely David-the-model, who is helping out with magazine distribution) and when I put the phone down, I noticed that I’d opened a text edit document and typed the word ‘Promise ’. I had no recollection of doing it and ... More About: Weird , Life

Racist cunts

Espresso Stories
2007-09-16 23:12:00 No time to read? Check out Espresso Stories , a site full of bite-size (less than 25 words each) literary nibbles. My first contributions are up there now - A ceremony changes nothing, Quantum self-obsession and Psychic footprints, autumn. The photo above is an old one, but it relates to one of the stories. ...

The second cup of coffee
2007-09-15 14:45:00 Thank you Shai, for expressing the concept of a bad mood so well. My cat is better at expressing myself than I am. It’s Saturday, so I figured I could have a bit of a lie-in. My alarm went off at half past ten. By five to eleven I was awake enough to ... More About: Life , Rants , Photography , Coffee , Work
Running on fumes.
More articles from this author:2007-09-11 11:13:00 Flash heads + Coloured gels = Coolness. I love that pictures like this can be created without any processing, digital or otherwise. I love my lights. I love my gels. They make me happy. I’m thinking about this happy stuff to cheer me up, cause as Sod’s Law dictates, the ...
