Newcastle: The Insider’s Guide

I finished my final year project, a guide to Newcastle in the North East of England. It’s already getting a bit of attention, and even a Spanish site has blogged about it: here

If you do watch it, could you please fill out my really short questionnaire: here

Flickred Lanzarote

Just a few of the more ‘photographic’ pictures I took whilst we were away, click the image below to look at them.

Lanzarote

Me and Claire just got back from Lanzarote and I’ve had one of the greatest weeks of my life, even though we were ill for a couple of days. It was red hot every single day, not a cloud in the sky the whole week. I’m just going to sort through the photographs now and bang the best ones on flickr.

Going to be really, really busy in the next few weeks so don’t expect many more updates. One little other thing, I managed to get a lovely shiny new Apple Powerbook G4 off ebay for five-hundred quid, bargain!

Going to ring the placement place in the next couple of days, I’ll post with what happens.

Oh, and just to add to the chaos of this post, I read ‘The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time‘ whilst we were sunning ourselves on the beach, it was brilliant.

Five seconds of fame, starting from now.

Had a photoshoot a couple of weeks ago for the Northumbria University prospectus, and i’m featured with my girlfriend on page ninety-three. Take a look at the ‘Visual Culture’ section in an exclusive pdf here. Surely this counts for something in my Apprentice Project? It shows how I am keen to participate in curricular activites, doing the university a favour. And I’m famous, what company wouldn’t want to employ me?

Warning

Flickr and my blog are now bonded as strong as a child to its mother’s nipple. The picture below was taken on the London underground, I managed to get a telling off too. “Flash photography is strictly forbidden on the platform” said the tannoy. “Sorry” I said.
