More soda. Would you like ice with that?

Why is gold the archetypal precious metal? Is it purely because it’s shiny?

Does it have any use?

I’m going to have to research this.

EDIT – Of course I know that gold has its uses, I meant does it have a use which makes it so highly valued.

Do you remember the Banana Splits? It was an imported kids’ TV show that used to feature these big creatures doing ‘wacky’ things.

I think beach buggies were often involved. I can’t remember that clearly, I think a YouTube search is nigh…

I would LOVE to own a beach buggy!

Goosebumps

It’s all about texture. I’m a lover of texture. It’s the main reason I love using shallow depth of focus so much — the details of the area in focus really ping out against the softness surrounding them.

And when the details reveal something about the person or add an element of intrigue to the situation being photographed, so much the better.

The goosebumps on Emillie’s arm in this image are a nice example of this. Without them, it’d still be a nice image, no doubt. With them, however, it becomes something slightly curiouser and holds the attention just that little bit longer… The image starts to feel a bit more ‘real’ and therefore more engaging.

Cats and Dogs

The film/Holga shoot yesterday had to be postponed — the traffic held me up for an age and it was raining cats and dogs, so I threw in the towel. I’m itching to get some fresh Holga work done though, as I don’t think there’s enough of it about, particularly in the commercial world.

A shoot in the rain would lend itself to the Holga well, now I think about it… At least I wouldn’t have to worry about getting the camera wet — it might even help.
