My gallery

My photo site has been down for a day or two, because of an ‘upgrade’ to the server that I put on last week. Anyway it’s back today and has some new features like better urls, and the ability to sign up for an account. You can see it at this link. Hope you like [...]

Emily Allchurch at the Making Space exhibition

When we went to the Making Space exhibition last weekend, we were really impressed by the work on display there. One piece that I could see had taken an age to create wasn’t in the catalogue, and I’ve just found out what it was called and who made it. It’s called “The Tower of London [...]

First of all, everyone I saw taking the ride regressed instantaneously to become a 5 year old: this is an amazing experience and I believe the experience itself is really worthwhile. Secondly, [...]

New competition – knock Tracy Emin off the top position

Since uploading my video of the slide at Tate the other day to Google Video, I’ve discovered that I’m number 5 in Google Video for the search term “Tate Modern”. (See http://video.google.co.uk/videosearch?q=tate+modern for the current position. So we’re going to have a competition at the office to see who can get the number 1 spot, [...]
