This is another from the series I took at Mitch Benn’s Ninjagig from a couple of weekends ago. Just thought I’d share it. Found it while looking through trying to cheer myself up (currently a little unwell).

Mitch Benn – #ninjamitch
March 27, 2011 by cat
This afternoon I couldn’t get tickets to see Mitch Benn playing while in Manchester. This was the third time he would have come to Manchester and I would have missed him. I, well, tweeted about my sulkiness about it.
Mitch tweeted back to Kian re:our lack of tickets offering to do a gig in our living room before his gig this evening. So, it was on. We started phoning around and tweeting about a gig at our house. Eventually it was confirmed at being put on at King’s Arms in Salford at 8pm.
Grabbed a little brother and friends. Got some dinner and headed on a Salford direction.
Once we arrived we had a chin wag with Mitch. Many, many friends arrived and got a few drinks, then the silliness and fun began.
Sean Fisher got a twitvid of “I’m Proud of the BBC”
At the end of the night I got a hug from Mitch and assurances that next time he’d play in my living room.

Free Portrait Sessions
February 9, 2011 by cat
As I said on Twitter today I’m offering free portrait sessions for a few weeks to build up my portrait portfolio. There will be free a A4 print in it for you (further prints can be bought). We can get together at practically anytime atm – days/evenings/weekends. Contact me for an appointment.
And for some good fun here are some photographs I’ve been playing with today.
New hair – my hair is really magenta..
I’ve also been playing with old photographs again.

Studio Session :: Self
February 28, 2010 by cat
This week I ended up in the studio on recommendation of one of my tutor. To get comfortable about going into the studio before taking other people in there for a project I’m currently doing for my degree.
I was given the choice of two cameras, a Fuji 6×9 (which I used in first year) and a Mamiya RB67. I thought I’d play with something I’d yet to have time with so chose the Mamiya with a 120 back.
The exercise started with me shooting a film with my eyes closed.
By the end of the exercise I had my eyes open and trying to pose – you would not believe how hard I find it to pose in front of a camera!
The lighting was setup in this way so that it would not distract from the simplicity of the photographs themselves.
The aim of the session was to get me to look at simple lighting akin to David Bailey, Sally Man and Richard Avedon to try to open up the possibilities of a series of portraits I’m currently shooting. I may have more from this set (I’ve got photographs of two other people too and if they will let me post them I’ll share them with you lot!).

This afternoon and evening I have been doing some light maintenance on the site – removed the old Print Sale page and added some new things to the Portfolio page
Hope you have a look over there. Got a few things to write about – hopefully I’ll get time to get them online tonight!

Pink Tentacle
December 8, 2009 by cat
Recently I’ve been knitting toys – little toys. I’ve also been making my own patterns up. The patterns are going to be made available at somepoint.
May I introduce Pink Tentacle (they will be renamed I’m sure by the final owner!) – this is the only Pink Tentacle.
This tentacle took a few hours to make. I’m quite proud of this one – the wool isn’t the easiest to work with and its much finer double knit than I’m used to working with.
These suckers are just fantastic if I do say so myself!
I hope that Pink Tentacle is happy in their new home after the 25th December.

Contact Theatre Project – #follow_me
November 23, 2009 by cat
A couple of weeks ago I was at Barcamp Manchester 2. We were wonderfully hosted by Contact Theatre. Since BCMan2 they have started a project for a new show #follow_me.
To quote @contactmcr
“Are you going to join in? You need your face,paper,pen&camera”
I think that everyone should get involved – Contact are a great venue and wonderful people. Its also a very simple project to get involved with.
This is my offering
The rest of the photographs are on Flickr.

Manchester Geek Up October 2009
October 14, 2009 by cat
Last night was this month’s GeekUp Manchester. Due to a few issues with the venue (including GeekUp being double booked, shifted around at a drop of a hat, and last night being told as we arrived that they had a private party until 10:30pm!) we’ve moved to Pitcher & Piano, Deansgate Locks. That’s right, we’ve moved next door. Better WiFi, nicer snug, better lighting and less music!
I’ve put a selection of my photographs from last night.

ScottyGu :: The Guathon
September 29, 2009 by cat
Firstly, I would like to thank Phil Winstanley and Mike Taulty for hosting and arranging today’s showcase and pubbing (with a big thank you to Phil for letting me know about it and letting me come along with cameras in tow!).
So, at the Printworks Odeon, Manchester today I went to Guathon. I was there to see a showcasing of ASP.NET MVC2, Visual Studio 2010, .Net 4.0 and SilverLight 3 given by ScottGu. Honestly, I’ll leave folks with much more knowledge and with interesting things to say discuss those (although there seemed to be a few cool things that are coming in the new shinies)- I went along to photograph the event.
After the showcase I managed to get a quick photoshoot in (around Scott answering further questions about his various projects…).
