Photography is just a journey like so many other things in life; we make mistakes, some of us more than others, but hopefully we learn from them and do things better next time.
It is always interesting to see how styles and techniques develop and evolve over the years. This image is from my earliest days of using a DSLR, a time when I thought pixels were those little creatures at the bottom of the garden and exposure compensation was just getting dressed in the morning before going out on a cold day. I’ve still no idea what those words mean but I have read them in a book, a book which is now doing a sterling job of keeping the coffee table level.
So this image, although being 8 years old, is still one of my all-time favourites and after a little encouragement I’ve given it a little tweak following my normal workflow these days; a few nips and tucks, adjusted highlights and shadows, a little bit of split toning, a spray tan and finally a slight crop.
It was originally posted with a pink border! What was I thinking? It brought to mind the time as a teenager when I had one of those Starsky jackets which I wore with bright red jeans and cowboy boots. OMG! You’re probably better not thinking about that for too long!
Sadly for you I have not got any photos, you really would fall off your chair!
So that raises the question; what has been your worst fashion disaster?
The music for today is just mainstream pop. It’s got very little to do with this image apart from the fact that I like the tune and the colours reminded me of this photo; see I’m from simple stock. The video is quite wacky too, like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on acid and purely by coincidence the track is by LSD!
Now before you get any ideas, I’m firmly in the Grange Hill corner, ‘Just Say No’.
Make`s ollie over this rail is actually as big as it looks. Im happy that Make is not blind after this terrible misuse of flashes.

Make it pretty. You eat with your eyes first. Three years ago, I lost 62 pounds, all the weight I had to lose. I've kept it off for two years now. I'm never going back. Why would I when I can eat like this and maintain my goal weight.

Added to EXPLORE for June 3rd 2009. Highest position: #210
Photoshoot with Rebbecca Victoria, this shoot was based on and inspired by the work of artist Sylvia Ji.
The make up was done by the lovely model herself and took quite some time.
Please do tell me what you think, critisism would be much appreciated.
Im just trying to improve my work at the moment but hopefully within the next couple months try and get a job in some studios or with an agency.

UG Minifigures Red Death Flash has got it all!
Front printing, back printing, leg printing, underarm printing, a custom made headpiece, a chromed bat-symbol!
Then on top of all that, the design itself so well replicated that when you look at it, makes you hear Motörhead or Black Sabbath almost immediately :P
Dude! Holy cow! Talk about giving Christo a run for his money! :P
Now, to be fully honest, Christo still has a litttttle better quality custom molded parts, but as far as prints go, this fig takes the cake! I mean, this figure has a chrome print! How cool is that! What a neat idea to vacuum metalize this fig of all figs!
A Dark Knight Metal Death Flash ft. Vaccum Metalized prints! How good is that! :P
...I mean really though, if UG should be known for anything, it should be their chroming of their figs! Like, take a look at their Doctor Fate! :P
There are so many things to appreciate about this figure! The design is fantastic and the finest of details in the helmet mold are amazing! It's a super sleek and clean looking figure! FunnyBrick and UG are blowing my mind with this figure and I’m really glad to own one! :)
This has got to be one of my newest favorite figures I own, with out a doubt in my mind! :)

And now, words of a wise man that once commented on one of Roman's photos that one time because it was too good not to have written up here in this post about DK Metal! Plus it took a long time to write that comment anyway and yeah... idk, but here it is :P
––––––
Okay boys this is gonna get really complicated really quickly so hold on to your cowls!
To know who The Bat Who Laughs is, requires you to know about DC’s “alternate earths” concept.
So back in the 1940s there was only one earth, until Gardner Fox brought back the JSA in the 1960s. So then there was two earths, then three, then an infinite number of earths and then George Perez killed them all with a giant space alien robot. So because of that there was only one earth again, then there was Hypertime in the 90s which we don’t talk about, then there was a few of them again because Grant Morrison and Geoff Johns or something, then Barry Allen had a Flashpoint and there was 52 of them for what ever reason. Then after a few years, now we’re here in DC Rebirth (kinda) where it’s a little ambiguous how many earths there are right now.
So now take all of that info as if it was written on a piece of paper. One side of the paper is white; that represents all the stuff I just said. On the other side of that paper, it’s all black.
That “other side” of the multiverse is what Scott Snyder calls The Dark Multiverse #spooky
"OKAY SO THE DARK MULTIVERSE IS THIS PLACE OF INFINITE DARK EARTHS WHERE EVERY POSSIBLE THING THAT COULD GO BAD HAS GONE BAD. THE BAT WHO LAUGHS IS FROM ONE OF THESE EARTHS WHERE BATMAN WENT CRAZY AND TURNED INTO THE JOKER AND HAS LITTLE ROBIN GOBLINS FOR PETS. SO HE AND THIS DUDE BARBATOS HOOKS UP WITH A BUNCH OF OTHER DARK MULTIVERSE JUSTICE LEAGUE MEMBERS LIKE BATMAN FLASH AND BATMAN CYBORG AND BATMAN DOOMSDAY ALL BECAUSE BATMAN IS SO F-ING COOL AND MAKES US SO MUCH MONEY OMG" -- The DC Executives
Aaaand that's Dark Knights Metal in a nutshell (this took way to long to write and I left out A LOT of details like about Hawkman being an earth forger and all the stuff about n'th metals and junk about the source wall and shit, plus all the radical costume designs that sound like Death Metal when you look at them).
It's a cool story.
Also...comics are dumb and super complicated :P
