What’s this blog all about?

I don’t really know, I originally started it as a vehicle for my photography, and it just developed from there, I just do whatever interests me.

I’m no big fan of the trend for increasing the colour saturation on everything and then declaring it to be high-art, I prefer a desaturated, beached-bypass look, and I often also take no care to take a clean image, I’m quite happy with a grainy look.

I usually post once a week if possible.

I would like to thank J.F., without whose encouragement this website would in all likelihood be only half as interesting.
