i am really loving this fellas work: todd mclellan who takes things apart, then organises them neatly… it’s the kind of semi-autistic occupation i also like to indulge in at times… although he does it a lot better than i ever could

network week

after the wave

photography, as the demise of gadaffi once again proved, can be a highly graphic, instant & effective medium to share the terrible events which take place in the world to a large audience, it can however also be used to show positive messages too

i couldn’t decide which ones to show apparently, so it’s a bit of a long ‘picture post’ this one…
