Photoshopped Pictures
Many moons ago I was a member of the Something Awful forums. I took part in the regular Photoshop Phriday themes. I even got a few published. Looking through some backup folders today I happened upon some of the pictures that used to be on this site prior to its migration to WordPress. I should put them back, I thought. And so I...
Stop Bloody Raining
My name is Mark. I'm British. We have a reputation for talking about the weather. I'm fighting the stereotype and saying nothing. Difficult to do anything other than shoot photos suitable for #WetWednesday (curated by +Susanne Schweiger) at the moment. That's on account of the weather. You probably guessed. But I can't talk about it. Google+: View post on...
You Know… For Kids!
Shot outside Barcelona Cathedral last month where the boys walk in one direction and the girls walk in the opposite direction and the two must never touch. Well, that's Catholic countries for you. For #StreetPhotography curated by +Tatiana Parmeeva, for #StreetPics curated by +Arnold Goodway, and for #StreetSaturday too. Google+: View post on...
Dom Pérignon
I've not done so in a long time and the sub-theme of macro or close-up stylishness appealed to me when I saw it; that, and I also had something stylish to shoot for a change. Subsequently: a submission for #SaturdayStyle (or #SAS if you're particularly keen to save wear and tear on your precious 't', 'y', and 'u' keys) curated by the two women with so many 'l's between them you could be forgiven for thinking they're Welsh, +lynn langmade and +lane langmade. This – as the title may have hinted at and the picture may have completely given away – is a close-up triptych of a bottle of 2003 Dom Pérignon. Dom (we're familiar enough with it to simply call it that now) is the daddy of champagnes in our opinion. We've had cheaper champagnes and we've had more expensive champagnes but nothing quite gets that balance of light-headedness-inducing bubbly dryness coupled with actually-making-chardonnay-drinkableness as Dom. It's our champagne for special occasions (Bollinger's our everyday champagne (ooh, get us and our everyday champagne!)) and last weekend it was my wife's 40th birthday so that's why it was purchased. Why it's still in the house now is because we ran out of time to drink it. This will be rectified tonight. Google+: View post on...
Blue Is For Boys, Pink Is For Girls
Do you ever get confused as to which colour works best with which sex of child? I do too! And that's why I now never go anywhere without a three feet by two feet placard print of this particular shot. I'll never buy the wrong thing again! Shot taken in the pedestrianised area of Reus, Catalonia (home of everyone's favourite maniac architect Gaudi) during last month's brief trip to Spain. Google+: View post on...
A Little Culture
I just took a quick look through your Google+ stream and, well, you're lacking some culture in there. Sure, some people think animated GIFs are a valid representation of internet cultural norms but those people – I'm trying to be tactful here – are mental. No, you're lacking proper, traditional culture; you know the sort: art and stuff. Luckily for you it's a Wednesday and I'm overflowing with culture. I've got culture coming out of my culture crevices and flowing over the edges of my culture cleft. What I'm saying here is: have some culture! Also – possibly – some inspiration for an upcoming Doctor Who story. Who knows? In album Culture (18 photos) Google+: View post on...
