These were popular in the 60's so my sister gave me this one for my 60th.
This image has been lifted from a time lapse shot on New Years Eve. The green splodge are (out of focus) fireworks.
Mixed nuts with rosemary seasoning.
I placed printer paper over a lava lamp light, strew nuts on it, and turned off the room lights.
Saturday night spent writing a GCSE INSET session while listening to Rod Picott and keeping one eye on the football in a room lit by this lava lamp. Multi-tasking, I suppose....

I am, er, rather, Graham is a talented musician and a great friend who I’ve been pleased to know for a long time now. The reason for my stutter is referencing to how him and I were often confused for each other, jokingly I’m sure. Average looking white males, all the same, am I right? But that was years ago. The kid has a beard now! I also got taller. Now it’s almost like we’re unique individuals. Almost.
I met Graham in early highschool. I had been coaxed into getting Facebook, and then told I had to have a profile picture. I decided I had to try to be better than everyone else and ended up taking a bunch of selfies (NOTE: BEFORE SELFIES WERE COOL) with lavalamps, glowsticks, fiberoptic lamps, and many other things. The shots got me some attention with friends and I ended up being asked to take photos of a band my friends were in called Fall With Them. Graham was on guitar and vocals. That’s how we met and after that everything fell into place.
Eventually Fall With Them disbanded and while it was unfortunate, everyone moved on to new things. One of those things being GDAD which, if you read yesterday’s post you’d know, became Good For Grapes whom I continued to photograph for. I’ve basically been taking photos of Graham for as long as I’ve been a photographer. It never really occurred to me until I wrote that last sentence. It’s an odd thought, though comforting knowing that I’ve had friends who’ve been there throughout my growth as an artist. I’m excited to see what will happen next in our ongoing journey through music and photography.
Noe and I went to the Remaincom anniversary party which was a lot of fun.

This image was originally of the lights from a lava lamp, being moved around (at our Camera Club practical evening). Needless to say, I used some Photoshop filters to arrive at the end result, although the colours are as the original shot.
December 27, 2015 - Funny cheap little retro gift for Kirk that completely mimics how my head feels today.
Lava Lamps, invented by a British accountant Edward Craven Walker in 1968 who t hen set up a company ‘Mathmos’ to sell and distribute them. Still going today in the original factory in Poole, Dorset.
Interesting factoid:- In 2004, a man from Kent,Washington,USA was killed by a lava lamp on a kitchen stove while closely observing it from only a few feet away. Heat from the stove built up pressure in the lamp until it exploded and a shard pierced his heart, causing fatal injuries. Probably won the Darwin Award that year :).
