Summer Project: Still Life Self Portrait



You see that ^^

That's me. Or... well as close to me as you can get without actually having a picture of my ugly mug on screen. This is the place where I spend the large majority of my time. If I'm not here them i'm probably out shouting at traffic, or on the moon.

Right, well... What can I say about this picture? There's my iMac, iPad & iPhone in there, I'm a bit of an Apple fan boy to be honest. I love my music, so I've got a pair of decent speakers and you can't really see it, but underneath on the pull-out drawer I have my graphics tablet, because sometimes I like to do a little bit of photoshop drawing. :) There's the arty side of me right there...

On my desk I have a couple of little "mementos" including a little chuck of glass I was bought on a little romantic trip to Paris - yup, I like to travel. There's of course Lee which, if you read my last blog post, is explained. Also you can see card readers, a pen cup, some Blutac and an old laptop I'm hoping to Hackintosh some day...

I've got various prints of my work on the wall that I actually nicked from my portfolio - the print quality was so good that I thought leaving them in a folder would just be a plain waste. What good is a picture that you can't see?

Also stuck on the wall next to my light switch is my (Almost) complete collection of gig tickets. I do love me a good rock show and I say almost because at my first gig I accidentally threw the ticket away, not thinking that I could get a collection together :(

Stuck right next to these I have a couple of bit's of commercial work - I shot a wedding, and the disk is up there should I ever need another copy for something, and I also have a good copy of a brochure I took pictures for. It's a simple leaflet for the swimming pool I work for so nothing special, but my job is important to me so it's included.

What's up with the computer screen I hear you ask? Well look at it, it's transparent... I'm not going to tell you how I did it, because that would be cheating but here's a hint - I did use a bit of photoshop in this picture :)

So yeah, that's my desk, or should I say me - in object form. Thanks for reading, I hope I didn't bore you too much...
