			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.blownpixel.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Branch.jpeg" rel="lightbox[353]" title="Branch"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-355" title="Branch" src="http://www.blownpixel.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Branch-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>There has been an upsurge in the innovative use of vinyl recently, not least for laptop customisation. Taking that one step further Hu2 Design have created some amazing avant garde  interior design elements using die cut vinyl.</p>
<p>They have just about every room in the house covered and the art is not just decorative but useful too, from eco reminders to directional signage.</p>
<p>Anyone who has ever tried knows just how hard it is to make a one colour design work and be instantly understood, the guys at Hu2 have managed this feat with aplomb. The designs are not just quirky but classy too, and probably won&#8217;t date too quickly, the great thing is that if you get tired of them the vinyl’s are completely removable. You just need to scratch a corner and then peel it off.</p>
<p>They should definitely be considered vector art masters.</p>
<p>The founder and originator of the Hu2 design collective originally from Paris, Antoine has worked in Miami and London for the past few years.</p>
<p>Known as a Designer, Antoine wanted to deliver a product and service that was born out of the creativity and talent of those employed by and affiliated with Hu2 Design. A way for people to come together, present their ideas and have the opportunity to develop them in a truly collaborative environment.</p>
<p>Some examples of the stickers can be seen below.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.blownpixel.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Facebook-Logo.jpeg" rel="lightbox[124]" title="Facebook Logo"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-92" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Facebook Logo" src="http://www.blownpixel.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Facebook-Logo.jpeg" alt="" width="260" height="190" /></a>Facebook is known for its uniformity. You can post all sorts of content, but the actual design and layout of your profile is the same as everyone else’s.</p>
<p>But with Facebook Fan Pages and the array of apps you can plug into them, there are a few ways you can customize what people see when they land on your Page.</p>
<p>You’ve probably seen custom Fan Pages like those of <a href="http://www.facebook.com/bestbuy" target="_blank">Best Buy</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/victoriassecret" target="_blank">Victoria’s Secret</a>. When you land there, you start on what is essentially a mini website within Facebook, instead of the Page’s wall or feed.</p>
<p>These are often used to promote deals, call attention to new products, or simply welcome visitors with an attractive branded splash page. Anyone with a Fan Page can create one, but it takes a little effort. Here’s how.</p>
<hr />
<h2>1. Add the Static FBML App</h2>
<p><strong> <span style="font-weight: normal;">The tabs at the top of your Facebook Fan Page are apps. Some, like your wall and photos are built into Facebook. Others are essentially plug-ins where fans can view external content, like YouTubevideos, Flickr photos, etc.</span></strong></p>
<p>The app you need for your custom page is called “Static FBML,” <a href="http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=4949752878" target="_blank">located here</a>. If you’re logged into Facebook, you can add it to your Page. It is essentially a blank canvas where you can add whatever content you want, including custom graphics and links via standard HTML.</p>
<div id="attachment_81" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 577px"><a href="http://www.blownpixel.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Facebook-Fan-Page-Image.jpeg" rel="lightbox[124]" title="Facebook Fan Page Image"><img class="size-full wp-image-81 " title="Facebook Fan Page Image" src="http://www.blownpixel.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Facebook-Fan-Page-Image.jpeg" alt="Facebook Fan Page Image" width="567" height="183" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Facebook Fan Page Image</p></div>
<h2>2. Set Up Your Tab<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 13px;"><br />
Once you’ve added the Static FBML app, click “Edit Page” below your company’s profile image. This will bring up all your settings and apps. Look for the FBML app and click the “Application Settings” link.</span></h2>
<div id="attachment_82" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 577px"><a href="http://www.blownpixel.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Facebook-Fan-Page-Image-1.jpeg" rel="lightbox[124]" title="Facebook Fan Page Image-1"><img class="size-full wp-image-82 " title="Facebook Fan Page Image-1" src="http://www.blownpixel.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Facebook-Fan-Page-Image-1.jpeg" alt="Facebook Fan Page Image-1" width="567" height="183" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Facebook Fan Page Image-1</p></div>
<p>The app can function in two ways: As a set of boxes, or as one dedicated profile tab. If you’re building a splash page, you’ll probably want to use it as a tab, so go ahead and make sure that the “Box” setting is removed, and the “Tab” setting is added. You can always experiment with boxes later if you find them more useful.</p>
<div id="attachment_84" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 577px"><a href="http://www.blownpixel.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Facebook-Fan-Page-Image-2.jpeg" rel="lightbox[124]" title="Facebook Fan Page Image-2"><img class="size-full wp-image-84 " title="Facebook Fan Page Image-2" src="http://www.blownpixel.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Facebook-Fan-Page-Image-2.jpeg" alt="Facebook Fan Page Image-2" width="567" height="205" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Facebook Fan Page Image-2</p></div>
<h2>3. Add Your Content<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 13px;"><br />
Once you’re in tab mode, go back to your settings and click the “Edit” link under the Static FBML app. This opens a standard text field where you can add your content.</span></h2>
<div id="attachment_85" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 577px"><a href="http://www.blownpixel.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Facebook-Fan-Page-Image-3.jpeg" rel="lightbox[124]" title="Facebook Fan Page Image-3"><img class="size-full wp-image-85 " title="Facebook Fan Page Image-3" src="http://www.blownpixel.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Facebook-Fan-Page-Image-3.jpeg" alt="Facebook Fan Page Image-3" width="567" height="205" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Facebook Fan Page Image-3</p></div>
<p>“Box Title” will be the name of your tab, so you’ll want to change it to something appropriate, like “This Week’s Deals,” “Special Offers,” or simply “Welcome,” depending on how you plan to use your Page.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blownpixel.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Facebook-Fan-Page-Image-4.jpeg" rel="lightbox[124]" title="Facebook Fan Page Image-4"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-89" title="Facebook Fan Page Image-4" src="http://www.blownpixel.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Facebook-Fan-Page-Image-4.jpeg" alt="" width="567" height="185" /></a></p>
<p>he main text field is where your content goes, and you can add standard HTML to the page as you would any website, including images, text, links, and other formatting. No need for HTML, BODY, or HEAD tags.</p>
<p>Note that your images must be hosted elsewhere (on your company’s website, for example) and only referenced in your HTML code.</p>
<h2>4. Make It the Default Landing Page<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 13px;"><br />
If you want this new tab to be the “face” of your business Fan Page, head back over to your page settings and edit your “Wall Settings.” There is an option for “Default Landing Tab for Everyone Else.” From that menu, select your new tab.</span></h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blownpixel.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Facebook-Fan-Page-Image-5.jpeg" rel="lightbox[124]" title="Facebook Fan Page Image-5"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-90" title="Facebook Fan Page Image-5" src="http://www.blownpixel.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Facebook-Fan-Page-Image-5.jpeg" alt="" width="567" height="246" /></a></p>
<p>From now on, it will be the first thing visitors see when they arrive.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blownpixel.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Facebook-Fan-Page-Image-6.jpeg" rel="lightbox[124]" title="Facebook Fan Page Image-6"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-91" title="Facebook Fan Page Image-6" src="http://www.blownpixel.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Facebook-Fan-Page-Image-6.jpeg" alt="" width="567" height="464" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<h2>5. Engage Further With FBML<br />
<span style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 13px;"><br />
FBML stands for Facebook Markup Language, and it is the code used in Facebook applications to reference items on the social network, like user profiles, groups, feeds, and other data. If you’re really looking to integrate your landing page and get interactive with visitors, it might be worthwhile to learn this language.</span></h2>

Cobram, Victoria... Population 3600 at last count (When I was 13) My interest in preserving moments came from my mum not letting me use her camera, a Pentax SLR, and me waiting until she went into town one day and stealing said camera and emptying what was left of her film on photographs of farmy type things... the dogs, the cubby house, the peach tree I used to climb in... Mum developed the film and after me getting a smack and sent to my cubby house, she realised that maybe I had an eye "or something" for photography... A love was born]]></description>

<p><strong>WHERE ARE YOU FROM AND HOW DID YOU GET IN TO PHOTOGRAPHY?</strong><br />
Cobram, Victoria&#8230; Population 3600 at last count (When I was 13) My interest in preserving moments came from my mum not letting me use her camera, a Pentax SLR, and me waiting until she went into town one day and stealing said camera and emptying what was left of her film on photographs of farmy type things&#8230;  the dogs, the cubby house, the peach tree I used to climb in&#8230; Mum developed the film and after me getting a smack and sent to my cubby house, she realised that maybe I had an eye &#8220;or something&#8221; for photography&#8230; A love was born</p>
<p><strong>WHAT IS YOUR PREFERRED GENRE OF PHOTOGRAPHY? EG PORTRAITS, LANDSCAPE, SPORT ETC</strong><br />
Right now, Music&#8230; I love music, I&#8217;ve been a musician of sorts for ..well, since I was 6&#8230; and melting photography and music together makes me smile</p>
<p><strong>WHAT IS YOUR WORKFLOW PROCESS FROM IDEAS TO EDITING?</strong><br />
Take the last shoot I did, for The Grand Majestic at a little underground club in London called &#8220;Underbelly&#8221; &#8212; I didn&#8217;t have a brief, I just wanted shots that said &#8220;energy&#8221; as is their music style, and I wanted edgy&#8230; So, after shooting (Almost always in Canon RAW) I import into Lightroom and tag on the way in, for ease of locating and also for web keyword stuff&#8230; I muck about with the sliders and export what best explains the feel of the gig to the viewer&#8230; Or, at least I try&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>WHAT ARE YOUR TOOLS OF THE TRADE?</strong><br />
I&#8217;m all digital these days, though I&#8217;m looking around for a Nikon FM2 and a 50mm f/1.4 &#8230;I use a Canon 5D Mk2 and a Canon 30D with a 50mm f/1.4 lens and a 24-70 f/2.8 lens mostly&#8230; Sometimes if I&#8217;m a long way away I will drag out my 100-400 f/4.5-5.7&#8230; I have a battery grip on both bodies (LOVE them) I use Sandisk cards, thinkTANK camera bags and god given eyes.</p>
<p><strong>DIGITAL OR FILM STOCK?</strong><br />
As above, Digital for now &#8211; Sandisk 600x cards right now, but looking into a bit of film so I can burn through a couple of rolls of Ilford XP2&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>IF YOU COULD ONLY USE ONE LENS FOR THE REST OF YOU LIFE WHAT WOULD IT BE?</strong><br />
One lens&#8230;. Hmmm&#8230;. the 50, yeah, easily&#8230; I love that lens! No red ring, no fancy stabilisation&#8230; just a sweet, compact, fast fun lens!&#8230; f/1.4 is hard to use and hard to stop using!</p>
<p><strong>WHERE DO YOU HOPE TO GO WITH YOU PHOTOGRAPHY?</strong><br />
Not really anywhere, I&#8217;d like to be remembered for a shot or two from time to time, but as long as I&#8217;m happy whenever I get where I&#8217;m going, we&#8217;re good!</p>
<p><strong>WHICH OTHER PHOTOGRAPHERS DO YOU ADMIRE?</strong><br />
Most of them, really.</p>
<p><strong>WHO HAS INFLUENCED YOU THE MOST IN TERMS OF PHOTOGRAPHY?</strong><br />
A bloke named Richard, he was a friend of my mothers&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>WHAT IS YOUR BEST TIP?</strong><br />
Slow down&#8230; think some more, then shoot&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR BIGGEST INFLUENCE IN YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY WORK AND WHERE DO YOU LOOK FOR INSPIRATION FOR YOUR WORK?</strong><br />
The biggest influence on my work is the sound I&#8217;m hearing when I release the shutter &#8211; Counting Crows, U2, Metallica, Linkin Park&#8230; They all get different photos because their music is all different and I love it in different ways. I continue to look for inspiration in the more unsigned acts we&#8217;re seeing, or sadly not seeing today&#8230; there are some amazingly talented people out their and shooting them, playing, is special.</p>
<p><strong>WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVOURATE FILMS, BOOKS AND MUSICIANS?</strong><br />
My fave film would be &#8220;Singles&#8221; it&#8217;s a 90&#8217;s film about love, life and music&#8230; Books, well&#8230; I like a good adventure novel and I love a good inspiring photography book.. those big thick coffee table ones&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT SO FAR WITH YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY?</strong><br />
I started music photography as a self challenge&#8230; I&#8217;ve photographed Alice in Chains, Metallica, U2, Counting Crows, Lenny Kravitz, Dave Matthews&#8230; the list goes on and on and I&#8217;m blessed by each artist I&#8217;ve shot! I see shooting each band as an achievement!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.blownpixel.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/myows-logo.png" rel="lightbox[267]" title="myows logo"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-269" style="margin: 10px;" title="myows logo" src="http://www.blownpixel.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/myows-logo.png" alt="" width="260" height="95" /></a>Myows stands for &#8220;MY Original Works&#8221;</p>
<p>It’s an easy-to-use app dedicated to providing a full suite of copyright solutions, from registration to management.</p>
<p>Myows has been created for designers, photographers, bloggers, writers, musicians and anyone who creates copyrightable work.</p>
<p>All in one place, online, for free: <a href="http://www.myows.com" target="_blank">www.myows.com</a></p>
<ul>
<li>Assists in securing the removal of unauthorised copy(s) of your work on- and off-line.</li>
<li>Provides access to a growing pool of copyright-related knowledge and resources.</li>
<li>Helps you keep track of permissions granted and active cases.</li>
<li>Provides you with deterrence measures including custom warning graphics.</li>
<li>Lets you store, view and manage your protected works in one place, online.</li>
<li>Creates valuable evidence of your copyright.</li>
<li>Presents the opportunity to become part of a global IP-savvy community.</li>
<li>Proves the exact dates on which you uploaded your files, down to the minute.</li>
</ul>
<p>I have been a champion of this great original idea since it&#8217;s inception, it&#8217;s what the design has been needing for some time. In fact my design agency (<a href="http://www.cocoamedia.co.uk" target="_blank">Cocoa Media</a>) even gets a mention on the home page..</p>
<p>Oh and if you are wondering the great MyOws character was designed and rendered by the amazing Vonster &#8211; <a href="http://www.vonglitschka.com/" target="_blank">http://www.vonglitschka.com/</a></p>
<p><strong>Who should use Myows?</strong><br />
Photographers, writers, designers, artists, journalists, bloggers – anybody who has created an original work and therefore has a copyright (owns intellectual property).</p>
<p><strong>How do I copyright my work?</strong><br />
You automatically have copyrights in any original work you produce but the onus is on you to prove that you are the creator (which is where Myows will help you).</p>
<p><strong>Is Myows just for professionals?</strong><br />
No. Myows is for anyone who creates something original that they want to claim ownership of. You have copyright in your original works – you just need to protect it.</p>
<p><strong>What is an original work?</strong><br />
Original works are anything you create that are not copies of something else and have been ‘reduced to material form’ (meaning they’re not just an idea).</p>
<p><strong>How does Myows help me to avoid expensive legal battles?</strong><br />
Uploading your work to myows provides you with evidence as well as a deterrence measure designed to prevent theft. The site will also assist you in contacting unauthorised users of your work and is able to provide verifiable third-party evidence on your behalf, at your request.</p>
<p><strong>How much does it cost to have a Myows account?</strong><br />
It is our vision to provide copyright protection and management at no cost to freelancers, creative individuals and smaller companies. For corporate users and larger accounts there will be a small fee depending on the amount of storage space used. We&#8217;re looking at the possibility of tiered accounts for those users who exceed their storage limits but more about that at a later date!</p>
<p><strong>What storage capacity does Myows provide?</strong><br />
During beta testing, the free account limit is 500MB (this may change for new users as we get a better idea of usage patterns and user-needs). If you&#8217;re running out of space, drop us a mail at support@myows.com and we&#8217;ll see what we can do to help you out.</p>
<p><strong>Exactly what kind of files can I upload to Myows?</strong><br />
Images (.jpg | .gif | .png | .bmp | .tif | etc.)<br />
video ( .mov | .avi | etc.)<br />
sound ( .mpg |. mp3 | etc.)<br />
text ( .doc | plain text)<br />
vector files ( .ai | .id | etc.)<br />
html files<br />
animations ( .fla | .swf )<br />
code<br />
presentations<br />
… pretty much any kind of file you can think of!</p>
<p><strong>Who can access my Myows account or view my work/information</strong><br />
Only you can (using your unique username and self-generated or system-generated password), unless you give someone else permission to see your files.</p>
<p><strong>Where can I access my myows account from?</strong><br />
Anywhere in the world, as long as you are online.</p>
<p><strong>What do I do if I find that someone has stolen my Original Work?</strong><br />
You open a case on myows which will then guide you through the necessary steps typically required to resolve the matter and any related disputes.</p>
<p><strong>How secure are Myows’ servers?</strong><br />
Very secure. As an additional safety measure, all information is backed up on a second set of remote servers which are located in another part of the world.</p>
<p><strong>How long will my files stay on Myows’ servers?</strong><br />
For as long as your account remains open and active (Free accounts must be accessed at least once every 2 months). Paid accounts must be settled on a monthly basis.</p>
<p><strong>Is it really impossible for anybody to alter the date on an uploaded file?</strong><br />
Yes, not even the team at Myows can alter the date of upload of your files, The unique hash value internally assigned to each file provides additional tamper proof evidence linking the file to the date of upload.</p>
<p><strong>Can Myows keep me informed of activity on my account?</strong><br />
Yes Myows will send you mails notifying you of your account activity if you elect to activate this feature (NB: this feature will soon be deployed). Remember though that you can simply log on at any time to view your most recent activity.</p>
<p><strong>Will Myows warn me if somebody has copied my work or uploaded similar work?</strong><br />
Not yet. But we hope soon to be able to assist you in combing the net for unauthorized copies of your work.</p>
<p>For now, we’d definitely recommend trying out TinEye (for pics), Copyscape (for text) or Fairshare (for RSS feeds) to find your work online.</p>
<p><strong>Can I modify files that I’ve already uploaded?</strong><br />
No, the files that you upload are non-modifiable. You can only delete them and, if necessary, replace them with newer versions.</p>
<p><strong>What’s to stop someone uploading copied work to their Myows account?</strong><br />
Nothing. But if disputed, the original creator would simply have to prove that they had the work before the date that the copier uploaded the work to myows. That way they can prove their copyright and disprove the uploading party’s claim.</p>
<p>Of course, if the original creator also has a myows account, that’ll be very easy! (Just remember to always upload your creations timeously)</p>
<p><strong>Will Myows send any legal letters on my behalf?</strong><br />
No, but we will provide you with great legal templates and will even fill them in for you using the information you supply. Myows will however send proof of your uploaded work and related date to third parties upon your request.</p>
<p><strong>Will Myows assist me in finding a lawyer if I ever need one?</strong><br />
We are building a global database of good Myows-friendly lawyers to assist in this regard.</p>
<p><strong>When will Myows be available in other languages?</strong><br />
We hope to have Myows available in Mandarin, French and Spanish some day soon.</p>

<p><strong>WHERE ARE YOU FROM AND HOW DID YOU GET IN TO PHOTOGRAPHY?</strong><br />
I live in Israel, in a small town called Ashdod by the sea. I have been into photography for about three years now. Once I was chatting with an Italian guy on Skype, he linked me his photos on Flickr, just snapshots.</p>
<p>Then I started browsing the site and I saw some artistic photos and I thought that I want to have such photos of myself as well. So at first I had a point and shoot camera a few months later I bought Canon 400d. And since then I am taking photos.</p>
<p><strong>WHAT IS YOUR PREFERRED GENRE OF PHOTOGRAPHY? EG PORTRAITS, LANDSCAPE, SPORT ETC</strong><br />
My preferred genre of photography is self portraits.</p>
<p><strong>WHAT IS YOUR WORKFLOW PROCESS FROM IDEAS TO EDITING?</strong><br />
Sometimes I have ideas for photos sometimes I just go somewhere and start improvising. If I have any particular idea in mind I write it down in my notebook, also write where I want to take it, what should I wear and such. And I want to execute it as soon as possible.</p>
<p>There are times I come somewhere and I may get inspired by something I see at that location, a rock, a hill, something I haven’t seen before, and I come up with some pose, idea at the spot. I usually shoot outdoors because I don’t have any cool indoor locations.</p>
<p>My dream is to shoot in hotel rooms, I just love hotel rooms. As I finish taking photos, I edit them in Photoshop, I usually like giving them vintage look.</p>
<p><strong>WHAT ARE YOUR TOOLS OF THE TRADE?</strong><br />
I use Canon 400D, Sigma lens 18-200mm, remote controller, tripod and I have a Polaroid 636 Closeup.</p>
<p><strong>DIGITAL OR FILM STOCK?</strong><br />
Digital</p>
<p><strong>IF YOU COULD ONLY USE ONE LENS FOR THE REST OF YOU LIFE WHAT WOULD IT BE?</strong><br />
To be honest I don’t know, I am not an expert in photographic equipment.</p>
<p><strong>WHERE DO YOU HOPE TO GO WITH YOU PHOTOGRAPHY?</strong><br />
I would like to continue shooting, to make it a career if possible, it’s something that I like doing most! Photography is my love, my greatest love.</p>
<p><strong>WHICH OTHER PHOTOGRAPHERS DO YOU ADMIRE?</strong><br />
Guy Bourdin, Julia Galdo, Miss Aniela, Elle Moss, Kristamas Klousch.</p>
<p><strong>WHO HAS INFLUENCED YOU THE MOST IN TERMS OF PHOTOGRAPHY?</strong><br />
No one in particular really. I just have an enormous passion for photography.</p>
<p><strong>WHAT IS YOUR BEST TIP?</strong><br />
Practice and experiment.</p>
<p><strong>WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR BIGGEST INFLUENCE IN YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY WORK AND WHERE DO YOU LOOK FOR INSPIRATION FOR YOUR WORK?</strong><br />
I am inspired by movies, videos, music, light, things I see, pain.</p>
<p><strong>WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVOURITE FILMS, BOOKS AND MUSICIANS?</strong><br />
Fave films-Noise (starring Trish Goff), Japanese story, 21 grams,Run Lola Run, Buddy (Norwegian movie) , Leni, Paranoid Park.

<p><strong>WHERE ARE YOU FROM AND HOW DID YOU GET INTO PHOTOGRAPHY?</strong><br />
Im from Israel.  I was a high school drop out sat at home for a few years with nothing to do because everything outside was too scary I was very depressed and lonely ,my grandmother eventually just said  I enrolled you in a photography course I was 18 I thought it was bizarre and out of the blue completely, I only did the course 2 years later didn’t understand a thing about how the camera works but I knew I was in love.</p>
<p>And that was that. Then I had a photographer boyfriend that filled in all that I didn’t understand.</p>
<p><strong>WHAT IS YOUR PREFERRED GENRE OF PHOTOGRAPHY? EG PORTRAITS, LANDSCAPE, SPORT ETC</strong><br />
I do love landscapes but Im more into portraits I am doing self portraits for the past year and half I find it easier to deal with myself rather than having anxiety about shooting other people. I do love fine art nudes and erotic photography when tastefully done its very very beautiful.</p>
<p><strong>WHAT IS YOUR WORKFLOW PROCESS FROM IDEAS TO EDITING?</strong><br />
It usually ends up something completely different from what I originally had in mind which is good, I like starting a shoot with an overall direction but Im up for anything once I start.</p>
<p>Having said that I do get annoyed often cause Im a perfectionist and I don’t like it when unplanned things happen but it usually always ends up in my favour.</p>
<p>When it comes to editing I wish I was brilliant with photoshop but Im not. I usually play with colors and that’s about it I wish I knew how those vogue masters get a film effect on their digital shots I wish I was better in editing. I definitely don’t like all that over editing a lot of people do I like to keep it as real as possible. And as classic as I can.</p>
<p><strong>WHAT ARE YOUR TOOLS OF THE TRADE?</strong><br />
I use a Nikon D300 usually with a Nikon 85 f/1.8 but when I need a wider view as the D300 isnt a FF camera unfortunately ill change to my Nikon 17-35 f/2.8. I also have a Nikon 80-200 f/2.8 which I never use I should sell it. I don’t have any pro lights unfortunately I have to get one and a light box Im sure Ill enjoy that allot. For now I just have a lamp that lights my low ceiling so it falls evenly on me and I have reflectors as well to help soften shadows. Unless I want them harsh and contrasted.</p>
<p><strong>DIGITAL OR FILM STOCK?</strong><br />
I prefer film to digital any day especially medium format but its more expensive to shoot because of film and printing expenses.</p>
<p><strong>IF YOU COULD ONLY USE ONE LENS FOR THE REST OF YOU LIFE WHAT WOULD IT BE?</strong><br />
I only have 2 lenses I use at the moment and if I had to keep only one it would be the 85 f/1.8 that I have the bokeh is always so soft and the photos are always so pastel I love it.</p>
<p><strong>WHERE DO YOU HOPE TO GO WITH YOU PHOTOGRAPHY?</strong><br />
I hope to sell my work and make a living from it. I want to get over all my anxiety and start shooting other people as well.</p>
<p>I want to exhibit all over the world and have my own studio.</p>
<p>I have had a few women tell me how great it is to see thighs and that they feel better about themselves after seeing me out there with my curves so I hope that only continues.</p>
<p>I hope people can look in the mirror and just smile, and stop comparing themselves to other people and to what society says we need to look like. If my photos can help than ill be very happy.</p>
<p><strong>WHICH OTHER PHOTOGRAPHERS DO YOU ADMIRE?</strong><br />
Terry Richardson  one word : genius.</p>
<p>Anniken Hannevik I love her pastel edits<br />
<a href="http://www.annikenhannevik.com" target="_blank">http://www.annikenhannevik.com</a></p>
<p>Bill Durgin just discovered him and Im so in love with his work.<br />
<a href="http://billdurgin.com/figures_and_wares.html" target="_blank">http://billdurgin.com/figures_and_wares.html</a></p>
<p>Mario Testino<br />
<a href="http://www.mariotestino.com" target="_blank">http://www.mariotestino.com</a></p>
<p>DUDI HASSON<br />
<a href="http://www.dudihasson.com/" target="_blank"> http://www.dudihasson.com/</a></p>
<p><strong>WHO HAS INFLUENCED YOU THE MOST IN TERMS OF PHOTOGRAPHY?</strong><br />
I don’t think I can name a person that influenced me when I started shooting it was always just what I felt. Only now Im looking more into other photographers and learning more about what it takes to get a good shot and Im still so far from achieving it cause I don’t shoot other people so when it comes to directing them and getting the image I want I still am not that experienced.</p>
<p><strong>WHAT IS YOUR BEST TIP?</strong><br />
Go with what you feel, work with your gut. And always be open to critique.</p>
<p>Always try to be better don’t ever think you are there cause that’s when you stop learning and stop challenging yourself.</p>
<p><strong>WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR BIGGEST INFLUENCE IN YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY WORK AND WHERE DO YOU LOOK FOR INSPIRATION FOR YOUR WORK?</strong><br />
I love going online and discovering new photographers all the time I can spend hours going over photos but I wasn’t doing it as much during my 365 last year cause I didn’t want all those images and poses to be stuck in my head cause Im not a model and I didn’t want to get into that mindset now that my 365 is over I am trying different things.</p>
<p>I love simple I don’t think you need a full production to get a good or interesting shot.</p>
<p>Influences have been Jonathan Leder among others who showed me being nude can be so beautiful.</p>
<p><strong>WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVOURITE FILMS, BOOKS AND MUSICIANS?</strong><br />
My favourite books are ones that leave me with something to think about.</p>
<p>Anything with lots of emotion will keep me flipping pages although I need to be still to sit and read and I havent had that quite in my mind for a long time.</p>
<p>Movies are the same I love dramas but also a simple story will be fun to watch I don’t get that American humour so I don’t like most of the Hollywood stuff.</p>
<p>My favourite movies are Arizona Dream and Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.</p>
<p>When it comes to music Im a huge Mike Patton groupie.</p>
<p><strong>WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT SO FAR WITH YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY?</strong><br />
My biggest achievement so far was my exhibition in August after living in hiding all my life I came out into the light and now theres no turning back. And Im very happy to be out there and to be able to do what I do and the fact that people are interested in it and want to see more is humbling and unbelievable all at the same time.</p>
<p>I do hope my biggest achievement is still awaiting me in the future.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>I have been setting up a series of interviews with photographers from around the world who have (mostly) different passions and subject focus.</em></p>
<p><em>This will hopefully be an interesting experiment and throw up some intriguing comparisons of style and equipment.</em></p>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>WHERE ARE YOU FROM AND HOW DID YOU GET INTO PHOTOGRAPHY?</strong></div>
<div>Born and bred In Weymouth, Dorset. I&#8217;ve always loved pictures, never been much of a reader if that makes sense? I’ve been interested in photography for years but until the advent of digital cameras it was always something I couldn’t really afford to get into. I’ve had a digital camera in one form or another for about eight years now. In that eight years for many reasons I’ve become slowly more obsessed with image making and photography, I now eat, sleep and breathe photography in one way or another.</div>
<div><strong>WHAT IS YOUR PREFERRED GENRE OF PHOTOGRAPHY? EG PORTRAITS, LANDSCAPE, SPORT ETC</strong></div>
<div>People, I love to photograph people. Landscapes are fine, architecture brilliant but for me I’m happiest trying to get great pictures of people. Whether it be a posed portrait or a candid shot or someone on a bench who will probably never know they’ve been photographed by me. I think its really interesting the way that a person can really connect and gain insight from a photograph that contains an image of another person (that they may never have met) and I also really enjoy interacting and trying to get the most out of a subject when shooting (a hard skill to master).</div>
<div><strong>WHAT IS YOUR WORKFLOW PROCESS FROM IDEAS TO EDITING?</strong></div>
<div>Sometimes I sketch ideas (I find this helps but it&#8217;s not something I do naturally and have to almost force myself to do), sometimes ideas just evolve from other more basic ideas, sometimes (and this probably accounts for 80% of my most popular pictures) an idea will just hit me when I least expect it and I have to shoot it!</div>
<div>I&#8217;m lucky in the fact I have a great friend and shooting partner in my business colleague Darren. We&#8217;ve been friends for years and are on the same wavelength, we can talk a shot through for hours if it needs it and we work well together in making things happen. He&#8217;s definitely the ying to my yang (in a professional and photographic sense obviously!) and between us we kind of kick ideas off of each other and things evolve and grow.</div>
<div>I like to think I&#8217;m good at planning, but in reality I&#8217;m probably not&#8230;I like the excitement of shooting the unknown or trying to make and see pictures where others wouldn&#8217;t. Hopefully I&#8217;ve fiound a balance somewhere in amongst that to take photo&#8217;s for commercial purposes but also satisfy my creativity!</div>
<div><strong>WHAT ARE YOUR TOOLS OF THE TRADE?</strong></div>
<div>Always carry a hat, some spare batteries, masking tape and an internet enabled mobile phone! Oooh and a camera&#8230;.never forget the camera!</div>
<div>I also couldn&#8217;t live without Lightroom these days&#8230;.that program just rocks as regards photographers and workflow it is KING.</div>
<div><strong>DIGITAL OR FILM STOCK?</strong></div>
<div>Both! Everything I shoot for clients is currently done using digital media (unless they ask for film- no one has yet) but I LOVE film and try and shoot often&#8230;again mostly to satisfy my creative urges but there is something very special about film. I particularly love instant film&#8230;maybe that&#8217;s because it&#8217;s a great compromise between film and digital&#8230;the best bits from both.</div>
<div><strong>IF YOU COULD ONLY USE ONE LENS FOR THE REST OF YOU LIFE WHAT WOULD IT BE?</strong></div>
<div>Whatever they give me. I&#8217;m a firm believer in working with what you have. My favourite lens is probably my 50mm prime but as long as there was a sensor or a scrap of film behind it I&#8217;d live with it.</div>
<div><strong>WHERE DO YOU HOPE TO GO WITH YOU PHOTOGRAPHY?</strong></div>
<div>Cripes thats a tough one. One day I&#8217;d like to own my own studio but that&#8217;s a long way off. Travelling and taking pics would also interest me but not something I&#8217;m consciously working towards.</p>
<p>As long as other people enjoy my photo&#8217;s in one way or another then I&#8217;m pretty happy. That sounds really sickly but it&#8217;s true.</p></div>
<div><strong>WHICH OTHER PHOTOGRAPHERS DO YOU ADMIRE?</strong></div>
<div>Well I&#8217;ve never really studied Photography or Art academically. I often see pictures I like but I&#8217;m always too interested in the picture to take notice of who took it. I have tonnes of photobooks but again rarely read about the shooter&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;That&#8217;s naughty isn&#8217;t it!</div>
<div>I am a big fan of Martin Parr. Other Photographers I admire tend to be ones actually met and spent some time with.</div>

<div>to name a few!</div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>WHO HAS INFLUENCED YOU THE MOST IN TERMS OF PHOTOGRAPHY?</strong></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">It has to be those around me – mostly my Wife and Daughter. They both have a unique way of looking at the world and it fascinates me how that differs from my own. I taught myself how to use a camera so as far as influence is concerned it&#8217;s all about the way I think rather than the process.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>WHAT IS YOUR BEST TIP?</strong></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Shoot lots and shoot often&#8230;..and then shoot some more. Once your finished&#8230;.REPEAT! Oh and ENJOY IT! So many people get this part wrong&#8230;.I don&#8217;t understand that.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>WHERE DO YOU LOOK FOR INSPIRATION FOR YOUR WORK?</strong></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">I used to be a bit of a musician and I do love music so that quite often acts as inspiration but movies, television, childrens toys, the net (flickr is a great resource), paintings, places, pretty much anything.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVOURATE FILMS, BOOKS AND MUSICIANS?</strong></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">I&#8217;m a big Tarantino fan and also a bit of a science fiction nerd (in a cool way you understand!) on the movie front. Books are not something I often read for pleasure (weird I know) but If I do it has to be Douglas Adams.</div>
<div>My musical tastes are complex and varied but at the moment I&#8217;m revisiting pink flloyd, radiohead, deep purple, and the editors, throwing in some fleet foxes and Lou Rhodes and finishing it off with Seasick Steve.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT SO FAR WITH YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY?</strong></div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Finishing my 365days project was a big achievement as I invested a lot of myself into the project both in terms of time and energy. (<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rojojam/sets/72157602327695245/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/rojojam/sets/72157602327695245/</a>)</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Since then I have had a photo published in a small blurb book project by Martin Parr himself. That was pretty special as I am a big admirer of some of his work.</div>

<p>The site is a watch again aggregator of UK Tv broadcast programs,essentially an online Tv station, but much more it has acquired the rights to distribute programmes on the web making them available to viewers legally for unlimited viewing.</p>
<p>Catch up for free on programmes you’ve missed for up to 30 days or rediscover many of the nation’s old favourites, specially selected by their editors.</p>
<p>You can choose from comedy, drama, lifestyle shows, factual programmes, sport and much more.  If it’s available, you can even watch whole a series in one go.</p>
<p>SeeSaw is quick, easy and free. Whether you’re a PC or Mac user, you can instantly start watching broadcast-quality programmes on the web, all you need is an internet connection with a speed of at least 1 Mbps – broadband or cable, and the latest version of Adobe Flash installed on your computer.</p>
<p>I have to say the quality is fantastic, with a choice of Low, Medium, and high quality delivery. Even on a UK domestic broadband link I was able to watch fullscreen on my 27inch iMac at full quality with no interruption.</p>
<p>You can find seesaw here: <a title="seesaw.com" href="http://www.seesaw.com" target="_blank">www.seesaw.com</a></p>
