Twycross Zoo, We’ve been before, and i think we’ve been spoiled by Chester Zoo, and a couple of other places as every animal they have we can see better somewhere else.. Thats not to say it’s a bad place… just we’ll travel to find better photo ops… anyway photos below..

Another visit to Chester Zoo, we went to try and photo the tiger cubs, but they were hiding… so just 3 photos of the adult tigers…

Well the other week i decided to treat myself and bought a pinhole camera lens for my camera, basically it’s just a lens cap with a pin hole in it… looks quite cool though… so here is the test photo – there is only one pic for it… so no link…

i THINK this was about a 3 minute exposure…

This was the 3rd year we’ve been to Donna Nook and this year it wasn’t snowing… It was still absolutely freezing though… but got some different photos to the previous years…

as always click on the photo below to see more..

I really hope i got Keith’s band name correct, or i’m going to look silly…
but not sure how to sum up the near chaos of Keith TOTP & Band, there are 8 guitars, 1 bass, 2 brass and a drummer with several people singing backing, but it’s never a mess… it all just seems to fall into place..

click on either photo to be taken to the gallery

Now on to the main band, Art Brut, I’ve known them for about 8 years now at least. I asked permission to do photos and was told no problem, usual 3 songs no flash, but also, don’t photo Freddy (the bassist) she doesn’t like photos, she has strayed into one or two but i behaved, apart from going well past the 3 songs… but only occasionally…

And click on the photo of “New Boy” Jasper (he’s only been in the band 7 years) to see the rest of the set

Ok so this took me a lot longer to get up than i was hoping, but at long last here they are…
Manchester was a better venue than Brixton, the stage was smaller so everyone was closer, but Brixton was good fun, I was on my own as Raych decided not to do London, And the aftershow was good fun, even if i did stay up all night, get kicked out the venue at 5am, stuck on late trains and finally got home 26 hours after i left…

but anyway, there are 4 photos below, if you click on each photo will take you to the gallery of each lot

Clinton USM

The Frank & Walters

The Sultans of Ping

Carter USM

Well it’s Jim’s Birthday today so 1st I’d like to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Jim, after he gave us 2 great nights over the weekend, secondly I’d like to thank Les for sorting out the passes so i could get these photos…. and thirdly – fingers crossed I’ll be posting the Brixton photos tomorrow but it may be Thursday.

Well i was bored while working away so decided to try a couple of self portraits to see how well i can play with stuff… not the best pics in the world… and one of ones i tried i’m not even putting up it came out so bad (but the idea worked)
