I am poor.

March 25, 2009

Because I don’t make a lot of money and I keep buying things. So if you need a Canon Wireless transmitter, you can bid on mine -here-

Right, now that’s out of the way, here’s some images. I bought a Sigma 17-35/f2.8-4 at the start of the month, because I got a good deal on it. I’ve barely used it though, just needed something wider than 35mm to have for jobs etc.  Anyway.

Finally got round to taking a photo of this wall. Still experimenting with digital black and white processing because I don’t have a darkroom anymore [/emo]

Walking around Edinburgh with Louise last month.

At Sam’s house. Jonathan looking concerned.

_mg_2984edit

walked about town for a bit with Sam and Jonathan..

_mg_3001edit

Then we went to the two-storey Tesco and bought nonsense.

These were all taken around the time when Jenn and Grant moved into a new flat…

_mg_3139editvw

..which has this view of the city from the living room window.

_mg_3338editview

..or this view if you look slightly to the left and through a 17mm lens.

Oh, and it’s right next to the canal.

_mg_3422editgc

Sorry for another cat photo.

_mg_3453editmgl

What promises to be the first of many selfs in that lift.

_mg_3479editlc

Bored in my room.

_mg_3545editpt

Last self in the Jenn’s old bathroom mirror. That’s not sensor dust.

Jonny had a leaving party/ceilidh as he’s off to South Africa for 3 months to do some volunteer work.

_mg_3572editjh

Jenn, after we saw to the buffet.

Ryan called and asked if I wanted to go to a party. I’m glad I have a car so I can wait inside when it’s raining. I broke my iPhone, so had to use my old phone while it was away for repair. Not cool.

We found a pool table there, and I found a winning streak ;)

Reading Jose Cuervos’ magical margherita story..

I can’t remember what was in that bottle. But it smelled pretty bad.

_mg_3636editsw

_mg_3639editch

It got late..

_mg_3642editwg

Goodnight!

A bonus to working in a camera shop is that you get old cameras people bring in that they want disposed of. I haven’t used it yet because old cameras are rubbish, but it looks badass.

Jonathan and I went down to the Old Firm final at Hampden (the national stadium). But nothing much was happening, which was a bit disappointing.

Another abandoned house. This place was huge and pretty awesome. Jenn was shooting some jewellery here.

_mg_4849hannaedit

Hanna made the jewellery.

_mg_4850sambw4

Sam was modelling.

We went and bought some clothes and stuff the day before Jonny left for S.Africa. I tried to drink coffee again, but failed.

Busted out the 17mm again. Dynaaaamic.

S’all for now folks.

  2. Harrison Says:

    Thanks! I’ve now fixed the links so the photos open properly when clicked.

    When’s your next update coming?

    old folding cameras like that are boss. mine is a kodak from 1909, takes some old-fogey film that they don’t make any more so I’ve hacked it to take 120. throws light onto three frames worth at a time and rocks for avedon-like group portraits. bitch to scan/print though.

    Sam looks like a handsome mofo in those pics. brilliant! Is that gym sign in the east end, parkhead way? I saw it ages ago and have tried to find it since but to no avail!


  5. So apparently it is actually possible to take a blurry, rubbish photo with a 1Ds III and a 50 1.2… shame on me.
