New Toy
Got my hands on a beautiful Horseman 45FA from eBay the other day. Just need a lens now. (And to win the lottery to be able to afford some film.)

Ummm… No.
I spotted this incredibly deluded piece of ‘journalism’ in the Mirror yesterday. “I blame the pernicious culture of hatred around rap music, which glorifies violence and loathing of authority (especially the police but including parents), exalts trashy materialism and raves about drugs.” I can’t believe that Neolithic arguments like this are still being peddled out [...]

Stand Your Ground
Yet another video showing how difficult it can be to exercise your legal rights on a London street. Respect to the guys and girls over at Shootexperience.com for putting this together.

Where can I pull a girl in Maidstone?
Surely a question that no-one ever really wants to be asking themselves… And brilliantly, people entering the search terms below, all ended up on here. (They didn’t hang around long.) My image ranks quite highly for the phrase ‘fittest girl’ – page 2 of google’s image results (which is only a small scroll down). I’m not sure [...]

Bump
A motorcyclist picks his bike up after confronting a van driver who had just driven into the back of him. (Yep, that’s right. I succeeded in capturing the least interesting moment from the entire incident.)
