Bad times!

.  




My trusty 3.5 year old Lumix has gone and snuffed it!  Not impressed and no idea how it happened either.  This is why cameras still need viewfinders because Digi screens do this! argh!  It will take a photo but I can't see what the hells going on. grr I feel slightly crippled now and ever since it happened I keep seeing awesome shots I could take too.  Sods law.  I will have to start lugging about an analogue everywhere i go....  Wondering on what to get to replace this now.... a DSLR? 
 I've been cruising which? online for the last few days (after hacking into dads account)  pondering what to do.  The best and cheapest option is looking like a Panasonic Lumix DMC-G10 which is like a big daddy to the little one I have, although it isn't a full-size DSLR its something called a MFT(micro four-thirds) camera.  I am pretty small though, kind of a Micro Four-Thirds Human, not that that makes much difference.....hmmm good reviews though, in-fact an amazing review on which? 3rd and cheapest on best buy cant be bad eh?

Ninja Tune xx

So, yet again it's been a while since my last post, and a fair amount has happened what with freshers week, settling into the new house and generally catching up with many many people.   There hasn't been much worth making a post about and I've lacked the time and inclination to do it, up until now that is....
Ninja Tune xx happened 2 weeks ago and I am still gradually coming to terms with the idea that it was possibly THE best night I am ever likely to have, Ever, possibly for the rest of my life. It definitely knocked the socks of anything that came before it in terms of lineup, atmosphere, and general experience.  Seeing DJ Kentaro, Daedelus, Dorian Concept, Kid Koala and so many more amazing acts all in one night was just mind blowing, let alone seeing them in an abandoned semi flooded car park in London.  The only negative of the night was getting incredibly wet feet while trying (and failing) to puddle dodge when moving between arch ways.  These are 2 shots I took that night. Top is some of the artwork displayed on the walls, the second is of people chilling out in the second archway.  That night was WAY more than good.
