While browsing the other night, I came across the most amazing and talented urban photographer that I've seen in a long time.

He is a fella called Tristan based here in the UK. His work is very impressive and I've included my favourites below.

I aspire to be this good of a photographer.

Enjoy.

























:camera: CALIBRATING YOUR MONITOR :camera:

The strip shows a range of greys from pure black to pure white. You should be able to see a clear difference between each shade of grey, ranging from pure black (left) and pure white (right).



Along the top of the strips are alternate patches of black and dark grey. If it looks solid black to you (look very carefully), your monitor's brightness setting is too low. Increase it until you can -just- perceive the difference between the grey and the black squares.

Pass this along in your journals, it will help new and old deviants view your work as it should be seen!

So high then so low. Either way, try and go with the flow.

Life's sometimes good and sometimes can throw you a curve ball. But hey, as long as you're still breathing it's all good right?

Once again a change, maybe time to move on. Or am I just running away from shit, or at least needing a a break from the group dynamic.

I find that life is like that. You meet new people, go through the good times and bad, then suddenly it just doesn't feel the same any more. You learn their games and there little ego trips. The bullshit they try to play. And you either except it or feel disgust. Or god knows what.

Familiarity breeds contempt is probably the best way to explain it.

It amazes me how people so easily confide. Not knowing what I know and it all clicks into place. The things you find out, the truths behind the bullshit. Inside I laugh. So fucking hard.

All I need is my brothers. We all realise this and are moving on. Finally realising that there is a better way. Not stuck in a time warp.

Ten years down the line they will all still be the same.

Don't get me wrong, they showed me another way when my life was in bits, when I was at my lowest. But I grow. I need more.

The stagnation scares me. I need to get away.

Yay! Getting a car in a couple of days. All thanks to my dear parents who are helping me out with a loan. Means I can get out of my one horse town and get a better job.

It also means I can finally travel to do some photography. I live in a beautiful county and now I'll be able to takes photos of it.

I shall take pictures of it at the weekend and post it here.

w00t!

Dirty Dirty Camera.

So my camera is dirty. Which has royally buggered my plans for my photography over the next 3 weeks. Grrrr!

I was out merrily taking photos of todays sunset earlier, when I noticed a few little black marks on the pictures that I had taken.

I was pretty miffed at that. I don't wish to clean it myself for fear of screwing it up. So I've contacted Pentax and am waiting on a quote.

Oh happy happy joy joy.

Arse! Was merrily listening away to my music this week when suddenly my sound card started acting up. Or so I thought.

After reinstalling drivers and direct x, I thought I'd solved the problems. Nope.

Turns out, after 3 days of bad play back, that my secondary hard drive, where my music is stored, is screwed. Unfortunately this is also where all my photos and everything else is stored. Thankfully I have a few backups of my photos. None of my music is backed up though :(

It's not a logical disk error so no way to recover using software. My last option is to use a CD bootable Linux distro to try and copy what files I can from the spare hard drive to another one. This will be attempted at the weekend and I hope that not too many of the files I recover are corrupted.

Wish me luck folks.
