Car Crash

Well, it’s never a quiet night living in town, eh? Just finished watching UFC 97 and I hear a loud screech-smash-bang — then three guys flee the scene! Bah.

Car Crash @ Market

Really, not too interesting – and the damage negligible, but exciting times, eh?! I thought there was a person in the car still, but it was just the airbag thankfully. Sleep tight twinkle toes!

Got my lens. Really not feeling great at the moment, so only spent 20 minutes wandering with it. Not feeling like photographing lately…

Up before 2, please!

Well I’ve learnt my lesson, here, haven’t I? Today has been the best day in a long, long while – and the only thing that I did different, was get up a little earlier. Joyous! So I received my 4GB Ram for my Laptop, my 5D II RAW files are finally editable without crash-death-burn — it’s fantastic. I sold some incompatible RAM I had given to me by Stephen Pierce, which I owe him for still… Then I sat and watched the usual 24/Bones/Heroes. Anywho magoo, you’re not here for the blabbing text. Check the pics!

Oh, typical. A delayed train. I wish I could physically stab the owner of the North-Western service for every minute that a train is delayed.

You know what my issue is with this image?

And this image?

And this image too? LACK OF WIDE ANGLE. Such cropped shots of beautiful buildings. Damnit. I’ll be purchasing my 17-40 f/4 L very, very soon though. So finally a little mix of focal length in my shots…

It’s bad enough they exist. It’s even worse that it’s in Manchester too. It’s ultimately a fucking pain that I had to see it with my own eyes. Stupid, stupid, stupid!

Wide Angle PLEASE.

Who in their right mind eats at a place called ‘The slug and lettuce’. Who in their right mind makes a sign that gives you the thought that you’re losing your eyesight for a second? Fix that shit, yo.

So after the gentle stroll around Manchester and bitching about most things, we settled in our usual ‘Frankie and Benny’s’ and was greeted to a candle. Which is the only light source we bloody had! So shooting was a bit of a pain.

Emilie squeezing out a fart. True fact.

Why I don’t wear hats.

Peace!

Ruby went on a mad walk with my sister today. She came back stinky, filthy and apparently sore. She’s so fat and lazy, she isn’t used to excercise. Ruby was okay though.

My sister will kill me if she sees I wrote that.

My dear friend Stephen Pierce sent me a nice little care package of some Laptop RAM, a signed picture and a sentimental card. Lovely. I need to reciprocate soon!

And I had to capture her snoring. It’s fantastic. I had to sneakily grab my camera and flip the Video on without her waking up. It’s difficult. She’s a light sleeper. She makes me a light sleeper too. She rarely stays in my room but when she does she keeps me awake. Damnit.
