Finally, the sore throat has abated! No lemon pips nor gargling with sulphuric acide, just my usual diet of booze and fags seems to have kicked the whole thing into touch. I still didn't get much sleep as I suddenly got paranoid about not being able to breathe - that and 'emergency girlfriend' Bekiii's idea of 'nursing'. This seems to consist of ignoring my pleas...

Well that was fun! After a twelve month ongoing spat between myself and Idjiit on the photography forum (apparantly because I'm a tactless prick) I finally decided that our little blood feud....well, his little blood feud to be acurate, wasn't really helping anybody and thread were constantly escalating into a flame war between two factions.
I've always said that it is easier to like someone...

Sorry. Not sure what I'm trying to say here. I came to say I think it is ridiculous to leave the group just over some paltry Shakesperian feud. You are both obviously very talented photographers and approach the art form from widely different angles, which, if harnessed constructively, could be for the benefit of the entire group. Idjit seems like a very nice person with a bit of a superiority complex. Same as you. I don't mean this as a slur at all. Perhaps if you'd met under different circumstances you'd be laughing over this bullshit, having a beer together. The internet is a rash and retarded place. And I've typed far too long. Cheers, hope to see you return under better conditions.

I like and respect the both of you, but that respect is starting to slip. This whole thing is rediculous from both sides.
Calvers, I'm sorry you left the photography group. I hope you reconsider.

Okay SG'rs, this is going to be a tough journal entry. If you look up ;neglected' in the dictionary it would refer you back to this journal, but I do have good reason, mainly becasue I've typed and deleted this page about ten times in the last two weeks.
Basically flash back to the 7th of Jan. My other half and I have always been...

aww, what a sad and happy entry. hugs.
Okay, please tell me that my american colleagues are only the final series of 'Lost'. We are like five episodes into series one and nothing seems to be happening appart from characters deliberately holding back information or not doing stuff just to drag out the plot. It is the slowest thing I have ever seen (and I had a tortoise when I was a kid),...

I know what you mean... I swear Lost has been on our screens for about 5 years now - I have a theory that it's just another soap opera, it'll go on for ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever..... 
I've found a fantastic natural remedy for my fucking ccold, which seems to have moved in for the duration. The other half caught it off me and ended up taking half a day off work and feeling a lot better; damn her healthy eating and excercise! Mr "drinks and smokes and rarely moves' has now had this for a week and it is starting to...

I've gotten over my bad month blues. I have a ccouple of big shoots that will make up for last month and pay for this one, so I'm really going to cruise through just looking at stories to cover, shooting stock and getting stuck into rustling up business for december and the new year. I've picked up a load of magazine contacts and a few...

Good luck with the Plymouth, my experience with American engineering usually involved a shed-load of cash, great noises though.
Bestial dating, great, but where the hell do you go with that?

God, what a week! October is a funny month for business, but my regulra clients swapping around their requirments, them changing shooting dates, and my overall big blue fugg have really made this a tough one. I finally gave in and retired my crappy consumer 28-135 lens and replaced it with the de rigeur 24-70 F2.8 - at 920 i'm going to be lucky to...

I'm waiting for the very same lens to come in the mail, that way I can finally take the 17-40 f/4 off the camera.
Shock news: I was out of bed at 9am and I've been in a good mood all day without recourse to Havanna Club!
Somthing must be wrong.

Wow your photos are awesome 
Oh, I forgot to mention that I had finally got around to shooting a fetish set in the new studio. Missy loved the photography but the model wasn't quite what she was looking for (she was a bit reticent about getting 'nekkid', so the set was a bit 'tame'). Still Missy has said that she likes my work and wants to get some more sets...

Forgive me SG for I have sinned; It has been fucking ages since my last journal update!
Even now I've got to keep this one short as I need to get my shit together, or at least sweep my shit into a pile so it looks together from a distance, ready for my birthday dinner tonight. Thanks to everyone who expressed their joy at me...

A british female photographer , who lived in the heart of London's red light district, did a project where she photographed prostitutes in their working environment and talked to them about the re backround. The shots were sensitive, real, gritty, and brough something to the page that had'nt been seen before. All of the subjects had a quiet dignity about them, and the shots were painfully selected to avoid anything contrived or posed. For me it is the ultimate work on this subject and really doesn't need expanding upon, especially with the adddition of wings and wigs.
Would be really great to know, I am a photography student and love finding new stuff to look at
Shit. I think you're getting close enough as it is.
I take it from your response to the last comment, you've survived so far? Perhaps you're still away.
Who knows.
