News...
1) I covered my first gig. (for free!)
I have a fear of photographing people, so this was a huge step for me, but i got some pretty good pictures out of it so, onward and upward...
2) I got offered my first paid job to do some shoots for a graphic design company.
I turned down the job, because i don't feel i'm ready for that sort of thing (or anywhere near good enough a photographer), but it was flattering all the same!

Messing around...
OK, so the story is that an amateur photographer who i think is really talented, used some really cool effects on a phenomenal picture... I don't have any of the programmes to try it properly, but i had some fun mucking about with the very basic tools that i have currently at my disposal.

Henri Cartier - Bresson
"For me, the camera is a sketchbook, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity, the master of the instant which in visual terms, questions and decides simultaneously. In order to give a meaning to the world, one must feel involved with what one singles out through the viewfinder. This attitude requires concentration, sensitivity, a discipline of mind and a sense of geometry. To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy. For me photography is to place one's head, heart and eye along the same line of sight."
