Lee says:

Lee says:
photography must be a piece of piss with digital… no guessing… jsut check the screen n the histogram n u know straight away that u got the right exposure

Lee says:
but film,… FILM! fukin pain in the arse, gotta wait til the next day to see if u got it right or not, and even then u probably only got 6 good pics out of 36

*actual MSN conversation

I’m all for DIY, but…

WTF is the point in all these dodgy DIY photography devices? First the flash umbrella hat, and now the cornflake packet on-camera softbox???? FFS man!

I mean WTF man?

I thought my DIY macro studio was crazy, but at least it was practical (and it didn’t make me look like an escaped mental patient).

Buy my stuff!!!

I’m selling the following stuff on eBay. Tell all your friends. (click the links to go to the relevant eBay auction page). I’m so skint, all the money I have left in the whole wide world is about 50p in 1p and 2p coins. Times are hard.

I think I’ll take their advice and bring a sick bag to the cinema with me. I expect to leave the cinema with a more muscular, toned face as a result of excessive cringing…

I’m Bored

…so I’m going to make a list

Good list

1. Tea, splash of milk, 1/2 a sugar
2. Bottle of Asahi, slightly below room temperature
3. Dub, turned up way too loud, so that the bass tickles your ear drums and clogs your ears up with low frequency vibrations and earwax
4. The occasional roll-up, with some sweet tobacco, smoked outdoors with a big warm parka coat on while it’s raining
5. The satisfying click feeling when you press the button
6. The sound of film being wound on
7. Remembering exactly where when and how you got each scar
8. Hugging someone called V

Bad list

1. Sofa’s that stink really badly of fags
2. Having to sleep on list item no.1
3. Staying up til 3.43am and beyond, knowing that you are supposed to be working at 8am the next morning
4. fighting with someone called V
5. Not being with someone called V
6. brothers who steal from you , especially when you’re skint, it’s blatantly obvious that the case of blank CD’s was full when I brought it in here, and now approximately 50% of them are gone, did they think I wouldn’t notice, etc.
7. Not having a cup of tea or a beer

Favourite Jah-maican booze

I thought it would be fun to write about my favourite Jamaican drinks. This will be different though: I’m a lightweight, I get drunk on a rather small amount of alcohol, and I’m going to drink a couple of measures of my favourite Jamaican drinks before I write about them each one. So here goes…

(Writing after 5 bottles of Dragon Stout) The bottled secretions of the legendary Jamaican Red Dragon has quite a sweet, caramelised malt taste to it, with very subtle chocolatey notes. It’s a bit thin for a stout – it’s more of a dark beer and it doesn’t have as much body as something like Guinness, for example…. but to be honest I think it’s better off for that. It’s easier to drink in the summer and/or with a meal than something like Guinness, and it’s an easy drink for a lager drinker. `Basically it tastes nice (preferably chilled) and it’s worth the £1 per half pint. The seven point five per cent kick-ass alcohol content is an added bonus if you like getting pissed

(5 Dragon Stout, and 3 bottles of Red Stripe) As for Red Stripe, I can’t understand what the fascination with it is. In my opinion it’s watery and it’s f**king crap, there’s nothing special about it.There are much nicer lagers out there. That doesn’t stop the Custard Factory from selling it for £3 a bottle though… rapacious bastards.

(5 Dragon Stout, 3 bottles of Red Stripe, and 4 shots of Wray & Nephew) Wray & Nephew… don’t get me started on this stuff. I remember drinking it neat when I was young, then my mates called for me on their bikes. I went out withh them and crached into numerous parked cars. They had to return me home so I could sleep it off. 63%! fock off. its too fucking strong
