Seventh Shade at Warrington Music Festival

On July 16th I went to watch my friend's band, Seventh Shade, play in Golden Square at the Warrington Music Festival. They put on a fantastic show. It was there first gig with the new line up and it was a great start.

Seventh Shade are:
John O'keeffe - Guitar/Vocals
Mike Mellor - Guitar
Simon Lynskey - Drums
Pete Kelly - Bass

Pinhole Playtime

I recently got quite addicted to pinhole photography. I love the strange feel that the images have and the almost endless depth of field. I made a couple of matchbox pinhole cameras then decided I wanted something reusable i could use 120 film with, so i set about making one. A few weeks later i finished and the PanoMo120 was born. I know the name is cheesy but it makes me smile =).

Here's the camera itself:

And here are some of it's produce:

 Church Street

 Lord Street

 St John's Tower

 Self Portrait

 St Adam's Hall

The Beatles Shop, Liverpool

Solargraphy First Attempt

This is my first try at solargraphy. Although I didn't manage to get much of the sun in the image I am really happy with the feel of it. It's a really eerie image. I will definitely be making a lot more of these over the next year.

June in 2011 was dominated by Download Festival, as it is every year for me. The massive doses of loud music, good company, sunshine and wonderful images make me keep coming back year after year. Here are a few of my favourite shots from this years trip (Until i get around to developing the rest that is).

Hello to anyone and everyone who has stumbled upon this blog page. I will be mostly filing the spaces here with my photographs and thoughts. Hopefully I can manage to entertain you during your visit or at least make you smile.
