Colour 1024 x 768 118K |
Developing colour film and prints was a tedious and expensive chore. I designed and built a DIY water bath to keep the chemicals at just the right temperature. All the electronics were in the box with the Dymotape and the psychedelic paint-job. |

K.H.
03 436 x 600 54K |
Another one of Katie Henniker's paintings, scanned before being framed. I think that it shows Edinburgh Castle from the Botanic Gardens, possibly as early as the 1920s. |

Maestro 800 x 600 61K |
Not my car - but I do admit quite liking the innovative and creative use of colour here. |

Road 1024 x 768 162K |
Granite blocks (cobbles, setts, whatever) form the surface, 'enhanced' by a couple of effects with software filters. |

These are all genuine error messages grabbed to the clip-board using Alt+PrintScreen by yours truly, from various PCs including my own. I have arranged them tastefully on the electronic equivalent of an angora sweater. |

Cheech
& Chong 8-track 752 x 864 76K |
This piece of Americana was sent to me by a long-time friend, Ian Zalewski of Death Valley Pizza (A Solar Cooking Resource). It doesn't matter that I can't play it because I remember it well on vinyl. Their albums were better than their films. |

Fine craftsmanship in this radiator as snapped in the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh's Chambers Street. |

A vertical shot illustrating the overall elegant design. |

Lovehearts 2004 640 x 480 58K |
Updated confectionery for the 21st century. Lovehearts bearing the messages: 'just say no', 'web site' and 'text me'. |

Mirror Balls 1152 x 864 209K |
A variation on the theme on the page Self Portraits page 3, specifically this image. I'm barely visible behind my lens in this shot, taken in natural light. This is reality mimicking virtual reality. |

BIG Spam 826 x 4947 1.46M |
This was the contents of my Trash folder over a day or two, according to the date column. Those of you not accursed by this affliction might find it an interesting browse. To make this large image I maximised my Trash folder vertically on-screen, pressed Alt+PrintScreen, pasted the clipboard into Photoshop, paged down and repeated the process five or six times. This is the result of the composite image. I'm going to mess around with this image and see if I can turn trash into 'art'... If you're using Internet Explorer at its default settings then it'll shrink the image making the text illegible. Tools, Internet Options, Advanced, scroll down to Multimedia and untick Enable Automatic Image Resizing. |
