I had great photographic plans this Christmas, which included taking shots of the kids enjoying themselves, opening their presents, and so on; but I came down with some sort of virus on the 22nd and haven't felt right since. As a result I haven't shot any new material, and don't expect I will for the next couple of days. So I've been archive raiding and constructed this one from a shot of some graffiti I came across in Leeds a while ago. If you're interested, the original is here:
As you can see, the version I've posted isn't much like the original, but I'm quite happy with how it turned out, even if it is more Photoshop than photography :-)

Tut tut, vandalism.
On a better note, I received your baby photography now book for Xmas. Fantastic, more than a tutorial book it doubles as a coffee table book. Anyone with kids should get one, this isn't just for babies.

Wonderful colours, seems like an optical illusion

I really like this - looking at how it's been put together it's not just a simple reflection. You found some new shapes in there - rather like a psychadelic Rorschach test. I see elephants, leopards, bones, snakes - it's great!

That's almost not photography. Clearly oddddd....but I find it difficult to consider such shots that dont say much. What are your thoughts David?
comment byRonald at 04:50 PM (GMT) on 28 December, 2007
Well, I hope you will be up, feeling well and shooting again soon!
Though your temporary inconvenience does let you make other artistic and quite interresting contraptions for that matter!
A nice flowerpower christmascard this is...
Hard to find the original shot in it.
Photoshop artist!
Me like!

Wacky! Hope you're better soon. PS f1.2 is insane but fun ;-) and servo the only way to focus !
man flu? - the drugs have obviously had a psychedelic effect on your vision.... its nice to see you can still make art from your sick bed.....

A psychologist would have a field day with the interpretations people come up with for this one ;) I for one am reminded of a nasty CD cover that I can't remember exactly right now, but it was something like Miles Davis "Bitches Brew"...
Good job.
