The Quick Draw Saloon at the last ever V&A Village Fete went down a storm, which had a lot to do with all the work that went it to making and running the thing by the guys and gals of Stuff Club (that, and the fact we were giving out shots of whiskey for 50p a go). I can gladly report that we were thoroughly badly behaved, and successfully encouraged others to do likewise. Some highlights include branding the word ‘LOSER’ over the face of a child, one of punters accidentally fall off the wagon after ten years of not touching a drop of the good stuff and comanding a baying mob to shout out obscene phrases until the wee hours while watching people try to draw naughty things (such as ‘syphilis‘).

Lomo Lives
Yey! My Lomo LC-A isn’r buggered. The last time I used it (about a year ago) it kept deciding not to open it’s little iris for me. So I left it in the cupboard. I kinda missed it, so I got it out again recently and ran a roll of film through it, picking up some “just take a photo of anything-damn-thing” shots along the way. The results of which are here. I plan on taking a load more casual shots like this (like back in the good ol’ pre mega-pixel days) and slowly adding to the set on Flickr. It really is a joy to use.
We [heart] Blackpool
A short trip up north to visit a few haunted attractions afforded us a brief excursion to Blackpool. The weather was angry, the back streets derelict and bustling, the accomdation broken, the punters were drunk violent and bloody. I really can’t say how much we love Blackpool. After spending many childhood holidays in it’s fizzy glow, the horror that is Blackpool to the adult eyes only excites us more. It’s crumbling beauty and rotten fringes can not hide the heart of this undead seaside paradise. Well, that’s what I think anyway. There’s quite a lot of photos in the set from the Wax Works. It was our first visit, a truly Blackpoolian experience. Here’s the set.
Your New Desktop Background
Retro Geek Chique
A couple of weeks we visited Bletchley Park, home of the Code Breakers, some serious old skool L337 R0><0R H4><0RZ ftw. Here we saw many old computers, one of which had a copy of the Last Ninja 2 stuffed underneath.
An (actually quite small by our standards) collection of photos awaits your gaze here
Definitely too many photos
So, we’re back in Blighty. Just spent that last 4 days tagging and titling all our photos on Flickr. I’m not going to tell you how many photos are on there, but from that 4 day time frame, you might presume there’s a lot; and you would be right. Please go have a peek. We’ve added some handy short cuts to help you find just the bit you’re looking for, so you really don’t have any excuse not to look. Still here? Go look already!
Waiting for Gorgo, set build and shoot
The shoot for the film we were working on at Elstree Studios finished last weekend (we did the graphic design and helped with the set build), and we’ve just got all photos together of the final set build and shooting for you all to see. It all turned out looking quite splendid.
Lightspeed to Endor /Romford
Another little test of the time-lapse controller. This time The Boob took us on a whirlwind tour from Collier Row, to Hainault then Romford and home. The dog track was kicking out in Romford, some slow traffic made for some good still moments in the time-lapse. Oh yeah, we were on a 3 seater speeder bike.
Testing the time-lapse
A quick low down and dirty test of the time-lapse controller for our SLR. Not the most awe inspiring clip, but I’m sure we’ll be gagging for a bit of grey sky when we finally limp into LA next month at the end of our USA road trip (more info on that to follow).
moo’s perfect tone of voice
Just got some new moo cards. Still love their tone of voice. Here’s the grand unboxing of the cute little moo card plastic wallets.
