Bugger this for a game of soldiers...

... I'm off to bed. The joys of online mags: while I can link sentences and quips to galleries (or key pictures within them) it is an absurd amount of PT. Especially when my Mac is up in my study, in my loft, and it is FREEZING! Not like I can dance myself warm...


Story written, but I am waiting for sunlight to upload and link it. Check out the gallery on Speakerbox in the meantime.
Goodnight y'all... Later.

I don't like 24mm lenses...

... no matter how good the optics. Personal choice, probably based on the fact that I never want to meet Mr. Fantastic... more of a Ben Grimm man, myself.



They can lead to some interesting moments though.

Monday Morning You Look So Fine: Kiss.


Don't even ask. Just go with it.

"U just leave it all up 2 me
I'm gonna show u what it's all about
U don't have 2 be rich
2 be my girl
U don't have 2 be cool
2 rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with

I just want your extra time and your
...
Kiss."
- Prince, Kiss.

And seeing how hard it is to find a Prince vid online with the original audio (on Youtube anyway, due to copyright issues) check the link below, and appreciate the tongue in cheek(i)ness (excuse the multi-pun) of the man. Genius.

I think I want to dance now.

Happy Father's Day...


... or Happy Halloween, considering some of us are crazier fathers (and daughters) than others.

But yeah... the Lynch men all are, now. Desmond begat Liam (begat Brigid) and Keir (begat Cian).




Hope a good day was had by all. We made flapjack, us.

Oh, and a new project commenced, so you will only be seeing "old" work for a while...

"Unto the breach..."


"For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.

I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,

Straining upon the start.
The game's afoot..."
- Henry V

To all the haters...


Believe it. 'Cos it's true.

Number 72. Number 68. Number 61. Number 54. Number 41. Number 10. Number 3, number 2 and yes... number 1.


Check it.

As you may know, I love this band... hell, I even
followed a gig on Twitter.

Monday Morning You Look So Fine: Morning Glory.

A legend. He partied hard for two days straight, woke up on a sofa near Emmarentia Dam, played a gig with aKING, sweated half to dehydrated death, secured a drip, posed for photos with his band and then hit the stage with Fokofpolisiekar. More of that here on Speakerbox.

"Today's the day that all the world will see...

Another sunny afternoon,
Walking to the sound of my favorite tune.

Tomorrow never knows what it doesn't know too soon...


... Need a little time to wake up

Need a little time to rest your mind

You know you should so I guess you might as well."
- Oasis, Morning Glory.

Monday Morning You Look So Fine: Tiener Aksie Einde.

This is what happy looks like:



This is what not so happy looks like:



(Though come to think of it, perhaps everyone was happy in the end.)


The kid at the top is a teddy bear. A happy one. The kid lower down got pipped in the chaos that followed Francois Van Coke's attempt to headwalk the crowd at the second Vredefest, held at Emmarentia Dam this last Saturday. I don't know if it was Fran or I that nailed him, but that's my handkerchief he's morring-up with, so I tried to make amends. Hope he likes the pic... (insert random 300esque quote about scars here...)


And the lyrics? Oh yeah, for those of you that were there as we mounted the barricades, you'll get this in a lighter tone that what it was probably originally written:

"Tiener angs is 'n hoe muur om teen uit te klim
Net om weer vas te sit in die hakkiesdraad..." - Tiener Aksie Einde, Fokofpolisiekar.

By the way, thanks again to the Oppikoppi crew for everything... and thanks for the kids that kept me airborne as I got shots of Fran in the crowd. Those will be up shortly on Speakerbox.

I like coffee.


Go visit The Norm. You'll learn something.
