Instead of a proper post-

Will post later, this will have to do for now. Done by me a couple of weeks ago. Scratched because its negatives not good colour photography…

Meanwhile, the landscape photos are all squished together.

Happy Chinese New Year and Introducing a new category

Chinese New Year. I went into chinatown in london with my good SLR camera, and a digital camera. I got 4 shots with the digicam, and 72 shots with the SLR. Well, here are my 3 shots, and when I develop the films, i’ll scan the photos in and show you my satirical photo-skills. Infact, There were loads of photographers there, but they all had ultra expensive and fancy looking kits, while they probably don’t realise that doesn’t make thier shots look any better. I just went in my humble Pentax Camera, and fired away.

Being a kid, it was easy to sneak past the security and get up close to the dragon, and it was entertaining too. Next time i’ll make a fake press pass to get onto the mainstage, so I can greet Boris Johnson with a communist poster with him on it, made as a pasta collage. I didn’t wait around too long, I left at about 3pm because it was getting dark, and because I didn’t have thin gloves, I wore no gloves, and I thought my hand was about to fall off due to frostbite. (The effect of cross-breeding a vampire and a yeti.) Actually it snowed a bit before I left and after I got back, and because I ran out of money on my bus pass, the dick wouldn’t allow me to top up on the bus, and I thought, “Fuck it, fuck you, and fuck your whole bus driving corporation, i’m walking home you douche.” But being far too British and polite I just got off the bus and started walking home with a scarf wrapped tightly around my face looking at the floor in sadness.

Now before I post these digital camera pictures, i’m not going to lie. They’re shit. I’m going to retouch the only good one in photoshop and make a neat little photomanip. Other than that, my SLR shots are in black and white. Yes, I prefer colour but when you’re making a bulk display, if everything is in colour it loses its power and makes it look more like a photo album. If I scanned in a few good shots of the black and white pictures, then added colour into certain parts like in that crap movie Sin City, it would look fantastic I think. However because I develop my own pictures instead of leaving them in a shop for a week or so, this could take a while.

So those are my worst 3 photos. Also, does anyone care whether or not there’s a message if you hover the mouse over a photo? I’ve done it for 99% of the images on my blog, but I doubt anyone looks.

Hmmmm…What else before I go…..

I swapped from Google Chrome to Firefox. I was just so sick and tired of not being able to access youtube without swapping to IE, and couldn’t click on all the amusing links off Steam Chatrooms, so I’m with Firefox now. I like some of the add-ons, like Cooliris for flickr, which just displays pictures in an innovative and cool looking way, but there’s too much going on at the top. I just want a thin tab bar, bookmark bar and navigation bar, and I’m done. Firefox’s are too big, as if to say “LOOK, LOOKIE HERE, I HAVE A NAVIGATION BAR LOOK AT MEEE!”

And I just fixed my grammar too. Well…some of it.
