00371 Break fail

You said 15 yards

No, I said 50

00369 Health and safety

So I said, "I'm going to the shops. Be about an hour. You OK up there?"

"Sure" he said.

Divot, can't climb ladders for toffee:

00368 He of the long mast

... is not always the king of the stick boat.

It looked really good under construction in the Jethou dockyards, but even with a sizeable keel and a thin sail, it still sailed like a drunk with rickets, so we had to de-mast it:

Jethou pooh stick

Jethou pooh stick Jethou pooh stick


Still sailing now, as far as we know.

00367 Wallets

Did I say I made my own wallets?

I make my own wallets. The one on the right is about a year and a half old. Now I've got a new one.

Wallets

I reckon it's about 40-50 pence per wallet. Nice that it costs less than the money inside it. With how little I usually keep in there it never morked that way in the past.

They come from this instructable. It just can't be beaten.

I have to go back and thank Tom for being such a willing model.

Or poser.

I'm not sure which yet.

00364 Stick boat dangers

Never focus so wholeheartedly on anything so much that, when you look around after standing on a rock, waist-deep in water, taking pictures of a little stick boat, the tide has come in and you are stranded.

If you do, you know you'll have to save the camera before yourself.

You are worthless - the media is everything.


Moulin Huet Pooh Stick


Oh, and you need to get out more (but perhaps not to do this).

00361 Nearing the end

Although there is still a few more to go, the project is coming to a close.

Probably.

Or maybe not.

Either way, this is the beginning of the start of what might be something like a possibility of a working title.


Working title


Maybe.

Or maybe not.

00360 Movie night

The next big thing came out, so we went to the cinema and it was like £1,000 to get in and there was like this big queue.

Anyway, we got in (in the end) and the film was like this horror flick about a monster who chased this guy and then ate him.

It was probably really good, but me and my friend didn't get to see much because of this guy with really big hair who sat in front of us.


Big head


They should make it illegal, I mean there's probably animals living in there.

00359 Golf

So we like went to see this like big golf tournament with all these like famous guys who were really, like, good at golf and stuff.

Turns out they were crap:


Bit to the left


Check it out

Crap

Is this where they're made?

In the words of Unclerichy:

"No agent 104Z, this is where they kill them!"


So this is where they make them

00357 Stickup

There's young people roaming the streets when they should be in bed. Lord know what they're getting up to.


Stickup


What I do now is that joule theft is on the up.

I blame the parents. And their boxes of scavenged components.

00356 Chip?

Mmmmmmm?


Chip?


No, thanks. Just had a byte.

00355 Flotilla

00354 Extreme prejudice

He's out there operating without any decent restraint, totally beyond the pale of any acceptable human conduct.

00353 Sam's 40th

What a fantastic opportunity to strobe.

Dark "club" scenario with very low levels of ambient light. One strobe with wireless trigger handed to various members of the audience or placed on speakers while I run around taking pictures from different angles. I took a 50mm (borrowed from Dan), but the thing is that you need more zoom control than aperture, and with a strobe, there's no lack of light.

00352 Collaboration on the sand

So six of us turned up to try out the idea of doing some rake art at Vazon.

Lovely day, lots of rakes. Not a bad result, although it was the abstracts that really worked for me:
