Boat Life - Serengi

No more Adelante as we swap being narrow-minded for something a little wider in scope..

Boat life

Back on Adelante for the summer.
I even found some Liverworts.

VDMX based video synthesiser

Dug out an old unfinished project and finished it..
I'll be using this a lot as it has waveclock built in.

Godzilla - MIA

Sadly, my ToysRUs Godzilla that I bought in Fukuoka on my first visit to Japan over 20 years ago has now been missing for 6 months.
Godzilla came to every gig with me for 2 decades or more. As well as protecting my equipment while I was at lunch, Godzilla also doubled as a sound level indicator - if it was too loud, Godzilla would fall over..
Last seen prior to my moving out of the last house. Hopefully now living on Monster Island..

Almost work - WNBC.london

Live streaming - well until it was blocked by FB. Isn't technology wonderful

Pandemia-one month in

Dear Diary.
Today I put the cat out. Except I don't have a cat.
My offer to return to the NHS has so far not been taken up, which isn't such a bad thing tbh, given the risks involved. All the same I was a little disappointed, having drummed up the courage in the first place. I still have regular nightmares about that job. I can't even bring myself to say it's name. It's always the same dream, just in a different place. I've gone back to resume work, though I didn't really want to. It's disgusting and grim, just like it always was. I rarely feel any relief when I finally wake up, as even waking life is just a special kind of dream, just a way of delaying the inevitability of it all.
The upside of being a fully qualified medical technician is that I have little to no worry about catching anything. I learned the hard way how not to touch my face with my hands. That and the fact that you can only catch a contagion if it's there. Figures are still very low in this part of the country, not that you can trust them at all.
As for what's left of my career, there is almost nothing. Even when we come out the other side, while there will still be plenty of freelancers, it's highly likely that all the major events companies will have gone under. I guess we just have to wait and see. but that's what we do best. Waiting and seeing.

Pandemia...

it looks like everyone who works in Showbiz is going to have some down time this spring..

I might even go back to work for the NHS, but let's see...

Gigs

Bands

Birmingham - Digifest

The oddest thing just happened. The client was talking to some guys who were doing some interactive holographic video and they were telling him about this legendary bloke in the industry who is like a mentor to people who everyone looks up to. The client said to them, “come over here and I’ll introduce you to him” and he brought them over to me. 

I’m quite overwhelmed tbh.

Desk Op on a promo in Clapton.
We lost an hour over the in-ears.

I still don't understand why

8 days in the dark

Desk Op for a very long shoot.
I've spent literally days watching strangers eat popcorn

Hawk Kings

Promo for The Orb.

I had this dream a few years back about the renowned Astro-Physicist Stephen Hawkwind

Back on Set - Black Island Studios

Another early morning/late night doing projection and playback with yet another NDA.

After what happened this week, I think I actually earned a cold beer .

Flood

Hard to believe but this is a colour photo. It actually is that grey here.

Stuck in the middle

Back on Adelante for some solo down time.
Only way in or out is by Kayak as the Thames has burst its banks.
The river is barrelling past and shows no sign of going down.
It's going to be a quiet Saturnalia -

3 years

Beats - AJ

Out in the Londons for a change

Grey Cup - Calgary

It was cold, boy was it cold
