I enjoy going to public events primarily for the purposes of taking photographs of lots of different people in one place, as well as the atmosphere that often surrounds these pieces of cultural activity. It’s nice to take time out from the dark and dingy, seedy and dark, sweary, alcohol-fueled and smoke-filled bars and darkened [...]

Today marks exactly one year since my introduction to the Northern Ireland music scene – and I still consider that first gig to have been the best. The Delawares, Mary’s Great Idea, The Winding Stair and The Dregs. I was hooked. I’m not gonna go into it again. Just another small milestone and I have [...]

I don’t like TV, but I’ll tell ya one thing – Ben really doesn’t like TV!!
He went nuts. Like a mad man.

Those who know me may know by now that I have quite a love-hate relationship with computers. I love using them, but things go wrong so often. It makes me so sad.
As I have been planning for a few weeks, I finally got around to reformatting my computer and reinstalling windows. Everything went fine until [...]

I’ve been getting a lot of trackback spam lately. I suppose it could be worse, but it’s only started happening quite recently. I really wasn’t sure what it was at first. I know now that it’s spam.

For the last 2 days there has been no electricity. Fortunately I had nothing in the fridge or freezer. I [...]

Gingerpixel has announced that she is looking for models for her portfolio. This is something that has been on my mind also in the last few days (weeks and months). Over the weekend I practiced on some friends:

Though I am going to try some proper shoots soon. I just have to convince my beautiful friends [...]

I am certain that if I lived in a hot climate I would use the Internet/computer very little.
Over the past week I have been online very little. It isn’t very often that I take such breaks.
I spent Saturday until Tuesday at my grandparents’ house. I saw this as an opportunity to spent some time away [...]

I wore shorts today. I rushed home to put on my shorts, while listening to Vivaldi’s Winter movement from The Four Seasons (not just for pure irony, but because I much prefer it to the Summer movement) then walked to the bus stop to my parents’ to pick up another parcel which had arrived for [...]

I’m beginning to notice a trend. I discover an online service, much later than everyone else of course, at first don’t like it much or see what use I could have for it when I use another just as good. Then further down the line realise that its great and I want to pay to [...]
