Self publishing services

I wanted to create a Doppelganger book that is smaller than Blurb allows so I've been looking at other similar services:

http://www.webook.com/ 

http://www.lulu.com/ 

For now qoop looks the most promising. My mistake, it's terrible.

Multiples and Mirrors

One of a couple of new shots that came from the Doppelganger photos and one in particular with reflections in the windows. I guess the idea was inspired by things like the mirror scenes in Black Swan and the Green Goblin mirror scene in Spiderman.

I wish I had access to a mirror of that size more often, camera angle takes a while to figure out though. I didn't want the camera in shot like previously which means it can't face the mirror strait on.

Im not really sure what the point of these would be but it is simple and effective.

not a crime

linking in with what i was told in the train station, i.e people don't like you to photograph anything and will make up all sorts of crap just to get you to go away.

 it's a bit like people in a shop denying you have consumer rights because their company policy contradicts it. i don't care if your told not to give money back on stuff that doesn't work. it's the law so hop it.

spinning all the plates

spinning plates is a simple analogy for multitasking, everything must be maintained or it all falls apart and i think until recently I've been letting the plates hit the ground each time I see a new one i.e I have an idea and everything before is forgotten about. I keep finding things that I was working on and had completely forgotten about because something else came into my head, just recently i made a list of all the little projects i could think of to keep them in my head and keep working on them even just a wee bit on each one at a time so progress is made.

more fisheye lens stuff.






fisheye lens photos

got the lens about two weeks ago, been taking some photos...
... just over 200, nearly a gigs worth, need a new external hard drive soon.






 Just after I took this one in the station a member of the rail staff told me I'm not allowed to take photos in the station without their consent, that must be crap right? She said "You cant do that" and I should have said "You're wrong, I can't undo it. It happened so I definitely can." hindsight. She asked if I was taking pictures of anything dodgy and I wanted to ask what dodgy things they were keeping in a public train station adjacent to a massive shopping center. Now I just want to do a little video of that, maybe I will.
