I wonder...
... how many people who are currently bleating about their photographs being misappropriated from flickr are/were quite happy downloading music without paying for it?
Just asking.

namke communications is a name under which I produce both photography and music.
Music is currently taking rather a back-seat to the photography at the moment, but if you're interested in what my music sounds like, check out the review of my 2003 single at Boomkat, or download some here
Photography is currently based around black-and-white film (35mm and medium format), developed and printed 'in house'.
Please get in touch if you have any commissions...
Accepting Commissions...
If anyone would like to have me work on a particular photographic assignment, please let me know via the Contact Form. So far, I have carried out a single assignment for a friend (portraits of their pet greyhound) which has been very well received (there's no point in spouting a load of BS at this point, I'd only get found out).
Since my experience is low, so the prices are too - I'm pretty much doing this to build a portfolio. Heck, if the assignment is interesting enough I may even do it for nothing... or at least just for expenses.

Suspicious behaviour...?
As I was travelling home from my Grandad's funeral yesterday, I had to change trains at Stevenage. Now, being past 5 o'clock, the coffee-shop etc. was closed, so I had 15-20 minutes to kill on the platform.

If David Cameron promises to remove the current Police-state-in-construction, he's got my vote (and I have always voted Labour).
Speechless.

I recently got another camera off of ebay. It's another Polaroid camera, but this time rather retro. It's an Automatic 100, produced between 1963 and 1966 taking 3.25x4.25 inch instant pictures using '100 series' pack film (which Fuji still make, even though Polaroid themselves couldn't continue).
Thanks go out to Option8 for his website describing how to refurbish the camera.

World Pinhole Day
Don't forget World Pinhole Photography day on Sunday - if you don't have a pinhole camera, then why not make one:

tilt/shift goodness
Well, I finally got out for twenty minutes the other night and took some pictures with my large format camera. Firstly, the Manfrotto tripod is lovely and stable - so that's good. I ended up taking two pictures basically - each shot twice, firstly on Instant film (Fuji FP100C in a Polaroid 405 back) and then on Fomapan 100 sheet film.
First 'Polaroid' was a bit marred by the fact I didn't develop it for long enough - it was rather colder than the film likes.

WHAT?! Without the supermarkets we'd have thriving communities with local bloody shops.
Knob end.

A dilemma...
Just seen an advert on the TV saying that 'A Matter of Life and Death' is going to be available free with a UK newspaper tomorrow.
It's one of my favourite films...
... but the paper is the Daily Mail.
Like the title says. A dilemma.
