the past couple of days i've been a bit ill, i had 2 nosebleeds yesterday... this reminded me of a very distant memory back to primary school, in year 2 when my best friend back then (martin rock) always used to get nosebleeds at random. we were in class once and his nose began to bleed so he asked the teacher permission to go to the toilet to clean it up, i decided to offer to help martin, but the teacher was having none of it, she justified herself with "you havent got a nosebleed have you!?" i think by this time i was set on getting out of the class, so i said "yes i have". she decided to line us up side by side and examine each nose to check we werent both lying, "martins is bleeding" she triumphantly said as she moved on to inspect mine "crikey, so is yours!" she said to my disbelief. we went to the toilets anyway, and i didnt have a nosebleed, but the weird thing that strikes me now is that we had to be lined up and inspected, which is pretty funny i think, but i didnt think to even question it back then... all of which has nothing to do with these photos...

...4 pics with no connection whatsoever (isnt that always the case on here?) and i was stuck for things to post, so here they are.


a lot of wasps put a lot of effort into making this, only to have it destroyed by an englishman with some strong french pesticide.

i got this just after he got the highest point, but the wildest thing about this is the super slippy algai covering the floor of this telford drainage ditch (fullpipe to the right). hopefully we'll ride this properly soon, as it took all day just draining it.

it was my first proper day of foundation course yesterday, and we did pinhole cameras! it was good fun, and we got some amazing results considering the simplicity of the design.
all of the photos i scanned in today, the following images havent been altered/cropped in any way. i'm tempted to do a little step by step so people can have a go, its too easy and the results are fun.



our "camera" was an old cake tin so it was circular in design, so this one is the same shot as above, except we rolled the camera to give this effect.

how come i can be away for 7 weeks this summer, and not recieve abuse from anyone, yet within a week of returning to england have already been chased for bikes. anyway these are just 5 photos from manchester, and tims debut on the website.

"wanna go up to the top lads so you can get a good whizz on" thats how a friendly security guard led to taking this photo.

well i havent done this in a while, this lot are all compositions of photos, remember when i used to do this all the time? (see gaz, you did do that barspin 180!) looks like then i rambled on a bit more as well, in fact, leave a comment and tell me whether you think it was better when there was more writing in the older posts, as there seems to be less personal posts these days.







these two arent exactly new to wdphotos, or anything to do with composites, but they were done with the help of photoshop, so i thought may as well...
