Model Shoot


Model Shoot

So today I had a photo shoot with a young guy who wants some shots to put out there for some modelling work etc.

I have always shot candidly, never with set lighting and never in a studio.

I have to say having ultimate control over lighting is fantastic, I loved the power it gives you.

To say I am hooked and want to get back into the studio is an understatement.

Check the others out as well.

Cheers

Horror Show

Horror Show

Since I was a little kid I tried to get out of my head
Trapped on the playground I would stare at the sky...
I didn't even know why
But daily life
It took an evil shape
Some conformed
And some tried to escape
And those are the misfits that I've known
Like a sock in the eye
They feel it to the bone
It's a joke that we all know
We're the bait in a horror show

Yeah, we are alone
In a horror show

Banish me and mine to outer space
I'd shoot there in a second
Just for the breathing space
I'd put the punks on the moon
For head-room, mods rule the galaxy
That's the way
I think things should be
The creep in you
Is the creep in me
The gravity presses down like a lie
We want wild sex
But we don't wan ta die
Do you feel there's no where to go?
We're the bait in a horror show

And we're all alone in a horror show...
Yeah, we are alone in a horror show

If I spoke in words of only hate
Tell me would you know?
Could you relate?

And I, I wish I met Lou Reed
out on his darkened sea
'Cause I felt it when his blood would flow
It doesn't take a thousand years to know
That ship burned a long time ago
We're all alone in a horror show

Narcolepsy


Narcolepsy

Well this was done 3 years ago and here we go again...

I'm on a train, but there's no one at the helm
And there's a demon in my brain who starts to overwhelm And there it goes, my last chance for peace
You lay me down, but I get no release, and I say I
I try to keep awake, I try to swim beneath, I try to keep awake

But I, I can feel this narcolepsy slide
Into another nightmare

And there's a demon in my head who starts to play
A nightmare tape loop of what went wrong yesterday
And I hold my breath 'till it's more than I can take
And I close my eyes I dream that I'm awake,
I try to keep awake, but I
I can feel this Narcolepsy slide
Into another nightmare.


I read dead Russian authors, Volumes at a time
I write everything down except what's on my mind
'Cause my greatest fear is the sucking sound
And then I know I'll never get back out
And there's a bone in my hand that connects to a drink
In a crowded room where the glasses clink
And I'll buy you a beer and we'll drink it deep
Because that keeps me from falling asleep, I said
How'd you like to be alone and drowning

Still I find this narcolepsy slide slide, Into another nightmare

Keep awake. Keep awake, Keep awake,
And I can fell this narcolepsy slide...

This is a sneaky little shot I took of my mates wife, she was listening to the band, it is quite funny, but when this photo was taken we were in a tiny little windowless soundproofed room with a hard rock band at full noise and yet this image seems rather peaceful
