Proof, 113/365
Not the most interesting of images but it does prove two things…
1.) It proves that I actually have friends and that I do occasionally socialise…you know with people :P
2.) That after I’d finished borrowing the memory card from work and slipped it back under the door that no one stole it and it survived long enough for Phil to email me the photo :P
Re-Visited, 114/365
With this project some days are amazing fun, some days are like therapy, some days are a struggle and some days it’s like business. Today was a business day.
I was racking my mind trying to find a good ‘pre new years’ shot but I couldn’t think of anything suitably memorable so instead I just approached in a business-like way to make an interesting photo. Something odd...
Good Ideas...112/365
…are often just that. Ideas
I remember seeing a shot like this in a magazine and thinking to myself…
‘man, if I ever get me some flash triggers i’m going to try something like that’
Well it would the chap who did the original had more than ‘just’ flash triggers and this proved to be quite a tricky shot to set up o.0
I’m mostly happy with the...
Easy as Pi? 111/365
This seems like one of my simpler portraits in a while and yet….yet it took ages >.<
I got some Interfit flash triggers from Santa and I decided to have a play with them today for my portrait. They work perfectly but i’m as anyone will tell you the initial process of getting them to sync up was somewhat of a ball ache.
Anyway once I had them working I kept the shot simple and...
Skegness 2010
Boxing Day is Lomo Day, 110/365
We all went for a jaunt out to Skegness today for fun and despite being hella cold Skeggy is quite pretty and painfully 70’s in all the snow. All the colours there are so saturated so it made sense to take a few Martin Parr-esque shots and cross process them :P
Over the next few days i’ll post some examples.
December 25th, 109/365
Fresh off my ‘no internet’ day yesterday I come back to you saying I hope you all had a very pleasant christmas.
Mine was very fun. Sadly biggest brother, biggest brothers wife and biggest brother and biggest brothers wife son couldn’t be here as they’re living in Singapore but we chatted to them on skype and all was well :)
Anyway here’s me having more fun with...
Have A Bonstastic Christmas!!
Despite working Christmas Eve I still had a good time with Bonson (hidden behind me) and her excessively good mood meaning I actually have one of few pictures of her in existance!
Tomorrow is my usual internet embargo during christmas day so I wont see you untill boxing so until then keep it cool and carry on :) And of course merry christmas.
Double Whammy, 107/365
When I appealed on facebook for ideas for todays picture the 2 suggestions I got were…
Do a face down
&
Recreate me falling over in the snow…
It seemed today I would be getting cold and wet no matter what.
So whilst thinking of locations I came across this place. Where is it? Why it’s my old school of course. I attended Carres Grammar School in my teen years and had a...
Cat Face likes Wine!
My cat decided she wanted in on this hot brewing action…or maybe she just wanted her picture taking.
Marrow Rum 2.0, 106/365
As I continue to do battle with the strobist group today (i submitted a photo yesterday, accidently deleted it when I was adding it to more groups so now every time I re-submit it they thinking i’m trying to bump for more views :P) I decided to siphon off that marrow rum I started making a while ago. Remember? I wore tights?…

Don't Ask, Well Done, 105/365
I’ve been racking my brain ALL DAY because I wanted to do something memorable and important to comemorate that fact that America no longer has the ‘dont ask, dont tell’ policy for it’s gay men and women serving in the army.
Having to conceal your sexuality is clearly a violation of civil liberties and frankly in a war situation you should have other things on your mind...

Bilious Face, 104/365
Whilst waiting for Steven I had my usual coffee at Neros and I got talked into trying a bit of the ole gingerbread syrup in ma cup (twas of course my free drink :P) and gosh darn was it tasty…however the combination of rich syrup and high caffine have left me feeling ironically bloated and sluggish so i’m currently trying to rest off the effects of a serious caffine crash.
Hence...
A Lonely Denim Boy in a Trans-Dystopian World,...
Whilst talking to big brother today he pointed out (as discussed by Mark Kermode) that ‘post-apocalyptic’ shouldn’t exist and NOTHING would exist after an apocalypse. So films like The Road, Postman etc should be catagorised as ‘trans dystopian’. This then lead to a long conversation between us…
One of the things we discussed was any and all time (past,...
7. I'm so Rock because...102/365
well…look at me!
Frankly I need no more reasons to be rock other than just living and breathing the music for many many years of my life.
Rock week has been fun but I think I could have done better if i’d actually planned in advance what I wanted to do. I may have another try later in the year.
Back to my usual service tomorrow but in the mean time I hope you’re all psyched...
6.I'm so Rock because...101/365
I go to house warmings in Nottingham…forget my cameras memory cards…get home to get my portrait before midnight having drank a lot of redbull on the way home…and then got my portrait and wasn’t sleepy so edited and uploaded it.
Yup it’s getting later here, considering I have work in the morning, and i’m not sleepy at all due to an excess of energy drink...
An Instant Christmas
Stop the Presses!!, 100/365
Ok I realise I was doing rock week, and appologies for those of you who tuned in to see me being all rock and stuff…but something awesome has happened!
MY POLAROID SPECTRA HAS ARRIVED!
Now i’ve had a disgruntled relationship with polaroid as the only thing I desire is a more sophisticated focusing system and the only camera I could find cost £200+ but then I found the spectra. It...

I have like a mother flippin’ shark fin!!!
We all know how rock’n’roll sharks are, right? The gang weren’t called the sharks because they listened to Phil Collins and played darts all day…NO they were a hard drinking, hard partying sort who had suspect relations with ladies and took illicit substances…yeah!!
But seriously wanna know how I got my hair like...
Rituals of Recreation...a Reincarnation,...
As you may, or may not, remember I was accepted onto this touring exhibition a few months ago and I was exhibited at the Aztec in Bristol. Sadly I was unable to go and see my own exhibition (though maybe you did?) but it would, due to popular demand, they’re re-showing the work at the Aztec so come new year you can go and see all work again! I’m hoping to get myself down there to see...
4. I'm so Rock because...98/365
…I smash shit up.
Yep. Believe it or not I used to be a member of the Sleaford Ukulele Orchestra and in the build up to our first gig I told everyone I would smash my uke up at the end…no one believed me :D
So I kept the neck as a trophy to my first gig with the band.

3. I'm so Rock Because...97/365
…I stand in the shadows.
Yeah light is for pop stars. When you’re as rock as I am you don’t need light, just kicking back in the shadows…I could be doing anything back here…because I’m so rock!
This is the equivalent of being sat at the back of the bus…no one can see you!!.
2. I'm So Rock Because...96/365
I play electric guitar…like a badass.
Yup i’m sure by now you all know i’m a guitar player but despite how much I love my acoustic (i’ve had it for over 4 years) I still love my electric! It’s like my slut on the side. For those of you who want to know it’s a modified Squire Telecaster…a classic (for £180 anyway).
This guitar has been through a lot....
1.I'm So Rock Because...95/365
…I have tattoos in places you’ve never been touched.
It’s another theme week and i’ve chosen ‘rock’ as my theme. I’ve been learning blues recently and trying to dress more like a professional but ever since I was 13 i’ve been into rock music.
The music, the clothes and the attitude rock has been a big influence on my life and my work.
So...
Serious Crash, 94/365
Since 7am this morning I have been running on fumes. I don’t know why but I have been so incredibly tired all day at work, and my solution to this? Cinema. I thought going and sitting in the dark for a few hours (watching the new narnia film) might help me relax, especially as I had a drive home ahead of me, but fates were consipring against me. Namely I went to Neros to get a coffee (my...
Turkey Face, 93/365
Well frankly can you think of a better title? It was the rockband tournament at the Tower Bar and despite a lot of ‘umm are we playing…?’ and ‘yeah have another go’ I had a good time and for reasons that escape me these hats were a promotional item being given away at the bar. I also can’t think of any other group of people stupid enough to take these and wear...
The Original Christmas Photo!
Same photo…same message…merry christmas!!
A Merry Christmas from me to you!
Hey Tumblrphiles! Wishing you all a merry christmas. I encourage you click the through link to my flickr to download and print this card and also to re-blog this (tumblr peeps like re-blogging yeah?) so i can spread the christmas love all over tumblr!!!
Peach out!!
Christmas Come Early, 92/365
It’s hard not to feel christmassy after a day like today. I bought a very christmassy jumper which was somewhat uncharacteristic of me but i’m loving it much (though I realise my mouth doesn’t look bothered) and when I got home I had a package from the Impossible Project containing these gems!
B/W Film for my spectra camera (the camera is also being delivered)

Happy Birthday Alan, 91/365
It was my dads birthday today so we bought him a caterpillar cake, as well as a few other gifts, so here he is enjoying his cake.
Dad is always up for having his picture taken either because his is incredibly vain or has no shame…i’m going for the shame one. Anyway his cooperation was much appreciated as if he didn’t want his picture taking I would have had no other ideas.
So...
Squeeee!!, 90/365
Eeee! Can I get no privacy?!
Day 90 seems like quite a landmark but probably not as much as day 100 which is not far away now! I’m now, I think, too invested in this project to quit now. If I stopped now i’d disappoint you and myself :P
Why in the bath? Well i’ve been living with my parents for the past few months whilst my friend Steven and I save for a flat in Lincoln and...

Snow Desk, 89/365
This was originally going to be me playing the unsuspecting villain as another me (dressed as an assassin) leapt from that desk to kill me in an assassin’s creed style!
It was all very dramatic but sadly it just didn’t quite come together how I was hoping.
Anyway I still ended up with a pretty nice picture of this park in sleaford that randomly had a desk in the middle of it. Snow...
I'm KING In Here!, 88/365
It’s finally the run up to christmas in our house. Are the decorations up? No but some rather large boxes have arrived which my parents have been christmas shopping and are very excited about having bought very elaborate gifts for my baby nephew James (the first grandson, they’re allowed :)
So I done made a box fort!! :D
We do enjoy christmas in the Clark house. We’ll spend...

Can you Print from Facebook?, 87/365
This is a tribute to the people who bring tiny tiny photos to work they got off facebook and want them turning into HUGE canvases for peoples birthdays…they never look good and yet they don’t seem to care o.0 I don’t understand!!!
I had to make this picture SERIOUSLY tiny to get it pixelate this much so god knows what kind of stuff people are bringing in! Want to know...
