An ATV Photoshoot

5 Sept 2009

For those who don't know what an ATV is, the following picture will probably tell you. It's also known as a quad bike. I had my first real go on one of these today and as it was a bright sunny day I got out my camera and put the lens between me and the vehicle.

(500) Days of Summer

5 Sept 2009

I’m not a film critic, so I’ll keep it brief. I went to see 500 Days of Summer last night at the cinema. I was intrigued by the description "The romantic comedy for people who don't like romantic comedies". And I was actually pretty impressed by the film. Although it managed to avoid the clichéd predictable plot of your average romantic comedy it was still fairly easy to guess how it would play out. Still, I found it refreshing.

The Facebook Status Dilemma - 1st or 3rd person?

2 Sept 2009

This is something that has puzzled me since Facebook had the big design overhaul and changed the way a few features of the site worked. Remember, there was an uproar? I don’t remember exactly when it happened, but it was around September last year. I’m talking about the way we now update our status on Facebook.

Everyone - print your photos

1 Sept 2009

So you've seen some breathtaking views or spent time with some beautiful people and you've got some impressive photos to prove it. They're great at the time, but sooner or later they get forgotten. And why? Because most people leave them sitting on there hard drive gathering dust (well, sort of). I say make the most of them!

The Kings of Leon's rise to fame

31 Aug 2009

I love the Kings of Leon. They’re easily my most played artist and they have an immense sound live. Which is why I was disappointed to hear about their performance at Reading. From what I’ve heard, they had a bit of an uninspiring set and somewhat of a meltdown at the end (expensive guitars were smashed). Apparently the same thing happened at T in the Park earlier in the summer. In my opinion it’s probably a mix of a long tour and becoming a little too Rockstar. But I sympathise...

Gather round, don't be shy

30 Aug 2009

This is my new blog/website, whichever you want to call it. This website is a small project for me with the original intent being a test of my web design and programming skills. However, I've since become pretty interested with the prospect of regularly "blogging".
