Crane in Vain

And in case the point I was making in my previous post, the one about the arresting nature of quotidian things, wasn't made robustly enough ... this lad below should help to, eh, elevate things to a higher level of consciousness! :)

Pre-nuclear docklands!




Glassed Order!

Look! Order and symmetry and even eye-catching clarity! Well it is glass, I suppose. Yet it never ceases to interest me how there is always more to the thing itself than just the thing-in-itself, if ye know what I mean!

Or maybe it's the camera and its newer found ability to distort your view! Hmmm ... now there's a thing!

Way gone the time folks, please!





Sound Vision!

Barbershop POP!

In a coded message, POP Scar has asked me to tell people about his forthcoming gig in Abner Browns Barbershop in Rathmines on Jan 8th next. He'll be performing as part of the second Dublin David Bowie Festival which runs from Jan 5th to 10th.

In a rare interview, the POP Scar says he has chosen a selection of stripped-back versions of some of Bowie's more obscure and darker compositions as part of his set and says that songs such as My Death, God Knows I'm Good, Lady Stardust, Fantastic Voyage, Word On A Wing and Brecht's Amsterdam will all feature in the show.

So now, so!

Also, I had a crack at knockin' up a poster for FB and the like, and if ye like, then like! It appears belowly.

Do interesting things ...

... and interesting things will happen to you! Yep, I'm beginning to believe that never a truer word has been spoken. Agus cén fáth, sez túWell, it'd be because next month I am actually, eh, on-location!

Yes indeedy, folks, I'll be making a bloody fillum soon. Me, if you can Adam 'n' Eve it!

OK, so it's not exactly Star Wars, but it's a film nonetheless. A wee short, a ninety seconder, called Gigapixel - penned by yours truly and eeeek - directed - by the very same! Now there's a thing I didn't expect to happen at this stage of the proceedings!

So yeah, this ole film course I'm doing is most indeed a very interesting thing - und therefore I most def-in-ite-ly guarantee that there will be ...

A crucial scene ...!







Mirror Image

This prolonged period of still, crisp and windless Dublin weather has presented some great photo opportunities for reflections and mirror images and the like, and, as you've probably noticed by now, I've never been one to turn my nose up at such things. I must have a thing about symmetry!

Amazing thing too is that while I once used to use a high falutin' camera and laboured over settings and apertures and shutter speeds and film resolutions, ASAs and the rest, my mobile phone seems to have it all under control these days. OK, so you lose a bit on the resolution yeah, but at least the camera is always to hand allowing you do your thang as and when you wish! And sure that's the main thing as they say.

Black pool, Dublin!
