New Website Up
Well, i’ve finally go it up and running.
My new website which will display some of my design and photography work is now officially online.
The first thing you’ll probably notice is that im not a web developer! So the finished product was always going to be limited by my basic ability with css and java etc. Regardless, im still reasonably happy with it. It serves its basic purpose which is a platform to display work, not my web development skills.
Anyway, feel free to check it out, and keep visiting every now and then to see my updates.

P.S- I hope you’ve all had a good time over this Christmas period, and you have a great New Year.
Cheers
Woohoo.. I think it worked
Ok, i think i managed to get this blog transferred to another server.
Things got a bit “iffy” for a few hours there, im not a fan of going into databases and editing values, but i think its all working now. Just in time for Christmas too, arent you lucky? 
Anyway, don’t have much to say besides being relieved that i got the blog transferred over and didnt loose any posts/pictures in the process (i dont think).
On another topic. Heres a picture i shot the other day. First time i’d picked up the DSLR in a while. There were some really interesting storm clouds i could see form the back of my house so thought i’d get a few photos. It looked pretty dramatic. I would of loved being in that plane 
Things may get a little bumpy
I’ll be updating wordpress and transferring my newly built website to a different host over the week. Hopefully all goes to plan. I’m not the best at these sort of things. So if my site doesn’t load up, you know why…
Wish me luck!
No, im not dead
Just really busy.
Sorry there hasn’t been many updates recently. Work has been pretty hectic, and my other time has gone into building my new website. That means i haven’t taken many photos in the last few weeks. I have 2 rolls to develop, but that’s it! Pretty disappointing i agree.
Anyway, not much to say now, but hopefully i finish everything before Christmas, as i intend to take quite a few shots over New Years.
P.S- Here’s a shot of the sunset a couple of nights ago from my house.
“Instant” 35mm Film
Well, not quite “instant”, but pretty damn close.
I didn’t know this (maybe you did), but Polaroid used to make 35mm film that you could process at home without messy chemicals, in a matter of minutes. The system seems to of had some popularity at one stage, but like other Polaroid products, the profit margin must of been pretty small and the product was phased out.Several types of film instant film were made (all slide film) in both colour and black & white.
The system is based around a hand operated Autoprocessor. Into this you place your film and its matching processing unit (single use-comes with each roll of film). You then complete a series of winding actions and hey presto, you’re film is developed in about 2 minutes.
I saw a processing unit and 6 rolls of film going for less than $5 the other day, so thought I’d give it a go. The only thing is, the film had expired in 1984! I was more curious to see if anything would come out at all, and have a bit of fun.
I did get results, but as you’ll see, its pretty rough and insanely contrasty, but surpringly ok for film that coule be over 25 years old! I have a few rolls left, so might shoot them deliberately to bring the most out of the unique aesthetic. I’m kind of thinking of the movie “Metropolis”
