Fisheye and a bit of HDR just to bring the sky to life a bit more. I love what the Fisheye has done to the wheel and tyer.
7/150.
Addicted to these now big time, same setup as before 2 snooted flash guns either side on 1/32 power but very close to subject, poster paints mixed with water then placed on a black balloon which was wrapped around a bass speaker and then cranked up the volume and fired away, different music this time.
We can't live without it as is obvious from this view in the middle of the power grid in north Houston, Texas.

She has a think for shoes. If she founds a pair, she'll wear them. I can tell without any hesitation that she wears high heels more often than I do.
[The above photo is an extract from a series I did on a drug addict from Winchester called Stephan]
Summer 2007
Anyone who knows me personally, will know how much I despise any type of drugs. I see this type as the most extreme, and it was hard for me to come to terms with doing this.
The pictures are graphic and true to life. They are hard hitting enough for anyone to feel down. Go ahead and look if you're happy with knowing that fact. I'm not glorifying the act of drug taking. I am simply bringing how disgusting and sad it is closer to people. I told this old man to stop. I BEGGED him to stop. What the? I didn't know what I could do? rip it out his hand? F***, I did what I do... I took photos, I told him he was sick. And I hope they change the way people think ...
It's a horrible thing. Watching someone ruin their life. Watching a ruined life, get worse, by doing something so simple, so easily.
As I walked out the park I saw These two men, sat down, with a bag of what looked like rubbish. They both waved and said "excuse us mate, please just excuse for what we are doing". I walked on. I noticed a silver spoon in one of their hands, and the other burning it with a lighter from underneath. I carried on out the gate and walked down the road.
I suddenly stopped in my tracks. I knew full well what they were doing. I immediately reached down to see what change I had in my pocket, I had several pound coins. A moral dilemma was infront of me especially with my camera hanging over my right shoulder. Do I carry on walking? Do I go back? Is there a right or wrong thing to do? - I take photos. It's what I can do. So I went back and introduced myself.
Me: "Hi, you lads alright for money?"
Younger guy: "If you got a tenner I'll take it mate"
Me: "I tell you what, if you let me take your pics, I'll give you everything I got in my pocket"
Younger guy: "Nah mate, not me, I don't want my pic taken"
Older Guy: "Yeh, you can take pics of me mate".
I sat down infront of the two guys, pulled out nearly 10 quid in change out of my pocket and handed it to the younger one and told him to be sensible with it. Hoping that by some miracle he will put it to some good, and buy himself a decent meal. Fat chance. I shook the older guys hand, and introduced myself. He told me his name was Steph. I told him that first of all, I want him to stop, and that this was no place to be doing something so detrimental to himself. He had obviously heard it a million times before.
I lifted my camera to my eye, adjusted the settings on manual mode as if it was second nature and shot for the conditions. I shot with conviction, and never stopped talking to Steph. I tried to level with him about my own experiences with his world, and what I knew about it, unsuccesfully.
I asked him if he was getting help, as I watched him slump into a vile state way beyond what I will ever see in my life. I wasn't disgusted. I was saddened. This guy... Needed looking after. I felt helpless to do anything for him.
I chatted with both guys for about 20 minutes. We talked about the drug. Getting off it, getting on it, While the belt was still fastened tightly around Steph's bicep.
I said my goodbyes and left the park. I walked down to the bottom of the hill and felt I needed to tell someone. I told the police. They'll know what to do, far better than me. I felt bad that I didn't think I could help this miserable old b*stard out. At least he will have got a lift home.
As for taking photos. Was it the right or wrong thing to do? Did I make a bad judgement on the spot? Would I be telling you this story now if I hadn't?

Most smokers use tobacco regularly because they are addicted to nicotine. Addiction is characterized by compulsive drug seeking and abuse, even in the face of negative health consequences. It is well documented that most smokers identify tobacco use as harmful and express a desire to reduce or stop using it, and nearly 35 million of them want to quit each year. Unfortunately, more than 85 percent of those who try to quit on their own relapse, most within a week.
Of primary importance to its addictive nature are findings that nicotine activates reward pathways—the brain circuitry that regulates feelings of pleasure. A key brain chemical involved in mediating the desire to consume drugs is the neurotransmitter dopamine, and research has shown that nicotine increases levels of dopamine in the reward circuits. This reaction is similar to that seen with other drugs of abuse and is thought to underlie the pleasurable sensations experienced by many smokers. For many tobacco users, long-term brain changes induced by continued nicotine exposure result in addiction.

"£400 bribes to help pregnant women stop smoking: Mothers-to-be twice as likely to quit if they have a financial incentive
Pregnant women were offered vouchers if they stopped smoking
Doctors found that financial incentives increased the likelihood of success
5,000 babies die each year in the womb or after birth due to smoking"
