My First Paid Photography Job

Last night I did my first ever paid photography job – I took photographs of One Nation at the Warwick Uni Students Union. They were the support act for Gilles Peterson – a Radio One DJ who is really good at playing records apparently. He sounded pretty much like anyone else playing records to me. ...

Wine 1

On Monday we bottled our wine. We’ve called it a George Bernard Shaw 2006, because the vine in our back garden apparently came from a cutting from his garden, or something like that.

The Horror Of The 80s

Last night I went to John’s thirtieth birthday party, which had an eighties theme. It was quite horrendous! That is, the eighties clothes people were wearing. The party was good! My housemates went as Marty McFly and Doc Emmett, as you can see, and my ex-housemate on the left is one of Bros. You can ...
