A short time-lapse video of the Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank Observatory performing what one of the expert employees (Eric) called ‘An Unusual Manoeuvre.’ Apparently the telescope was tracking a moving object in space. A truly impressive site. (Albeit in real life there was no epic bassy soundtrack and it was much much slower than this:)
A short documentary following the young and deeply disturbed Dr Frankín and his minions as he reveals his life’s work, the secret moon annihilator humanitarian experiment. He also shares his thoughts on tourists, recycling and his neighbour. But have his minions done their jobs properly and is the experiment correctly configured to give Dr Frankín his revenge what he needs to help humanity?
On a drive down to the bottom of Lofoten in Norway we came across the village Å. A tiny place on the coast with a dramatic view of the Norwegian sea over the fractured rockscapes. Surely one of the most peaceful places on the planet. (Based on very limited and subjective opinion 🙂 )

‘For ever let this place be a cry of despair and a warning to humanity, where the Nazis murdered about one and a half million men, women, and children, mainly Jews from various countries of Europe. Auschwitz-Birkenau 1940 – 1945’
Awakening was an experiment with time-lapse photography that became this video of a Lily. My first attempts resulted in 1000s of photos of the same closed Lilly which were nice enough as pictures (although acutally pretty boring if I’m being honest) but they definitely didn’t make much of a video and it did start to feel strange leaving for work everyday and leaving a camera repeatedly taking the same thing like an art-house CCTV camera. After watching how the flowers seemed to burst open at first light and in as short a time of 1hr I setup and this is what I got. The soundtrack is the actual sound of the flower opening. I put a very small hidden microphone with the flowers and this is what it picked up. Honestly, it wasn’t created separately and added later to make the whole thing seem like Planet Earth on acid!
On a recent visit to the Austrian Alps ‘Das Tagebuch’ gave birth to itself and from the chaos and cushion of digital placenta grew and evolved into an experimental diary to review the many thoughts and emotions of the day. The form is a true surrealist visceral art-house style which subverts and rejects the straightjacket of traditional narrative structures.
These films were conceived, filmed and edited daily in 1.5 hours each (avg based on dinner time) so are instinctive expressions and naturally liberated from any typical editorial processes. As such they embody a rawness that makes them either truly original organic masterpieces of expression, thoughts and emotions or, more likely, rushed incoherent shite.
Note: These films are best watched in fullscreen mode with full HD selected accompanied with a fine balsamic vinegar and a breaded fertiliser.
Tag Eins “…the Millennium Express stole my innocence.”
Tag Zwei “And all that remains is my snow blind humiliation.”
Tag Drei “His coat was as soaked as a doughnut made from spit.” Continue reading

Through the endless warren of the Fes Medina is the tannery. An open sided 5 story building wall-to-wall in leather products over looking the giant tanning and dye pits. You can taste the stench of leather and dye in the air. “Would you like nice handbag for wife?” the salesman says and points to a cave of bags.
