Day & Night
Over the last few months i’ve been uploading some old photos and today I finally finished up the last of them with a set of photos taken in and around London from late 2007/early 2008. I left the London ones til last because I tend to be a miserable homesick bastard when I look at them (despite London only being briefly my home!). But it reminds me also of some of the cool shit I saw and...
Untitled

Looking back & looking forward [Posterous blog]

I find I need a site that’s something between Tumblr and Blogger and savvy to posting all over the joint. Things will get fed into here, and i’ll still be reading! But there won’t be all the random and ugly-looking shit I feed...
