Another go at a Smith's song, this time "Half a Person" great song with the obvious teenage troubled lyrics over the blissful tingle of Johnny Marr's guitar....Playing this through my 23yr old Ross amp and my toneworks KORG AX1000G pedal bank!! sound is poor as only have my Mac to pick it up.... plus my amp is tucked in a corner.... anyhow enjoy..

Spent a lovely day out with my camera going to Raby Castle and High Force, with the latter being the much better...

High Force is a waterfall on the River Tees, near Middleton-in-Teesdale, Teesdale, County Durham , England. The whole of the River Tees plunges over a precipice (cliff edge which is almost vertical) in two stages. In former times flooding created two separate falls, but after the completion of Cow Green Reservoir in the upper Teesdale this seldom happens now. In harsh winters the falls would freeze, creating cathedral-like ice formations.

Some shots of the waterfall can be seen on my Flickr stream here.

A new way to show off your photo's - it boast's, hopefully this is true as its always nice to get people looking at you're stream.... Good for criticism and for the hope that someone likes what you do!!! Also budding photographers might not know about Flickr...

Again my love of The Smiths, Guitar Playing, Johnny Marr and Social Networking combine to produce this dull effort at the classic Vicar In A Tutu...

 

Done for Emma Hampton but clearly not even close to the guy who got me playing Johnny Marr.

 

Play:-  "Vicar In A Tutu"

So... I got a nice surprise one of my photos got included in Flickr's top 500 most interesting of that day!!!

Being still very amateurish and looking at different subject matters it surprised me that some pegs could be so popular!!!

Needed to share these two great new apps available, one thanks to the 4.2 update the other just for the help it will give at Xmas to many of the poor cooks about!!!

 

1) So the new Apple update for the Ipad and Iphone gives you the ability to print wirelessly, the good thing about some of the releases in the app store is that the free versions give you the ability to test if they are compatible with your printer. Luckily after 3 attempts I found e-print free great app and easy to use!!!

2) The fantastic Roasting Pad, this app lets you choose your meat, how you want it cooked and its weight- then tells you how to cook it giving you step by step instructions and even the ability to have a timer remind you of when the steps are complete. This will be a godsend at Xmas for the Turkeys!!!

And it still does......

It would also be good to know if any one can follow how to learn the song from this tutorial!!! Love learning these songs now as I used to get very frustrated when I was younger.... Enjoy and please add comments or corrections to the Guitar.

It's a nice shoot I think considering the wind, sleet, snow and rain that battered me and the band that night. I wish them all the best for the future and would gladly snap some shots again!!! On a slightly lower note, the NME was a poor read....or perhaps I'm just getting older!!

It was wonderful to see and witness this once in a lifetime event and again gave me an excuse to snap some shots!!! Approximately 500 lights, stretching from Wallsend to Bowness-on-Solway were lit. The first light was lit at 5.45pm, with posts lighting up in turn approximately every 250 metres over the course of an hour. Again a wonderful site to see

Tony Jefferies!! After asking through Twitter if I could pop down and take some photos, he agreed!!!! So of I went to the Gym he trains at to snap some shots. What a brilliant guy, very helpful and approachable. I have no doubt (and I've seen his speed and power) that we will be seeing him make great waves in the boxing world!

"Static From Stereo" are getting an article written about them in the NME and they did not have any up to date photos with the newest member. Not a bad shoot considering the snow, rain and wind in a very cold Sunderland... You can follow the lads on Facebook "Static from Stereo" or Twitter "@sfsnortheast or MySpace "Staticfromstereo"
