Napalm Death @ Independent 15/01/10.
First gig of the year I've had a photo pass for. It was a great gig with the exception of some supporting burlesque act who thought it was great to throw milk all over the stage before Napalm went on (seriously at a grindcore gig???). Needless to say Barney wasn't too impressed, being the animal activist/veggie he is. The rest of the photos can be found here.
Wardrobe Wednesday…
I've been meaning to take photos of the contents of my handbag for some time now after being inspired by certain Flickr pools such as "What's in your bag?" and "What's REALLY in your bag?". I finally got round to taking such photo's last night. I may do my DJ bag in a future post.
If you click on the links you'll be taken to the individual Flickr pages which has notes over each individual item if you are that nosy you need to know what every single item is.
Happy New Year.
I'm not a great fan of New Years to be honest. I don't get the whole "but it's a chance to wipe the slate clean and start again" mentality. As far as I'm concerned you get that very same chance every day when you wake up.
NYE was spent DJing and it seemed to go pretty well. Lots of people having fun, lots of smiles and dancing which was nice. Woke up yesterday, surprisingly hangover free, however everyone else seemed to be worse for the wear so I spent the first day of 2010 bored and on my own. By 6pm I was going stir crazy so decided to go for a walk with my camera as I'd been meaning to try and take some photos of the Christmas lights before they were taken down. Pretty much a lonely start to 2010 if I'm honest but I didn't expect anything else.
I didn't take as many photo's as I would have liked because I always get nervous wandering Sunderland on my own with my camera in the dark. I'm a big wuss.
The 365 project of 2009.
As predicted I didn't stick with it, however I thought I would post a few of the photo's that I actually did take throughout the year. The remaining photo's are, as per, on Flickr.

Remember, Remember the 5th of November…
I love this time of the year, despite the cold weather. This week I've practically lived on Pumpkin, Chili and Lentil soup which was made from the innards of my Halloween pumpkin (I would post the recipe but I made it up as I went along I'm afraid) and on Thursday myself and a few friends went to the local fireworks display where I took the following photo's.
A few friends and I with sparklers.

Bad Typography…
Heh. This photo was took whilst camping in Yorkshire with some friends. Does it say Serve? Berve? 8erve? Who knows. Maybe the designer was a bit drunk on cider when s/he did it? heh heh heh.
Meteor Spotting on Tunstall Hill
A few weeks ago my friend Lisa and I decided to try and take some photos of the Perseids at the highest point of Sunderland we knew, which was Tunstall Hill as we figured there wouldn't be much light pollution up there. We disturbed some poachers who were hunting for rabbits and saw some meteors but they were far too quick to get on camera. My shutter speed also only goes up to 30 seconds so that along with forgetting the base attachment of my tripod meant I had to make do as best I could. The rest of the photos can be found here.
Wodensthrone
Local Black Metal band Wodensthrone, who consist of some pretty good friends of mine asked if I could try and take some photos of them on Sunday. Naturally I obliged as they're a good bunch of lads and I'm very proud of them and their achievements so far. We ended up in Durham which is a city I don't visit enough, despite only being a short journey away from Sunderland and all in all, despite it being a spur of the moment thing I'm pretty pleased with how some of the photos turned out, my favourite being the one below. Wodensthrone's debut album 'Loss' is due out very soon and can be pre-ordered here. The rest of the photos can be found on Flickr.
Wiggy is a Grass!!!
I spotted this abandoned cabinet/graffiti combo whilst walking to my Doctors today. Taken with my iPhone.
