Rocky Horror Show Live in Brighton!!!

Last night I went to see the Rocky Horror Show 40th Anniversary 2012 opening night trip to Brighton! Got photos of family, friends and strangers! I had seen the film at the cinema with lots of people dressed up and seen the DVD hundreds of times, but was my first seeing it live. At the end they did the timewarp, then an extra bit sweet transvestite, then back to timewarp again and just as we thought it was over Richard O'Brian walked out onto the stage, did a very short talk then he actually sung timewarp!!! When we were coming down the stairs he was coming up them, so I couldn't resist stopping him, saying how great it was, asked to shake his hand, he commented on my costume, I said thanks, we said bye and that was it, but was so great to actually meet him, sadly the stairs were packed and my camera was stored away in my backpack, so no photo of him 8o(

Darkness Poem by Dean Thorpe

Darkness by Dean Thorpe

Some say that darkness is nothing

Empty space where there is no light

I feel warmth inside that darkness

I feel safety in the night

Maybe evil lurks in the dark

Things hiding and ready to bite

Thats not what scares me in this life

Its what you do see you must fight

The darkness can wrap around you

Hide you away from others sight

Its energy flowing through me

Like lightning striking down a kite

In the dark we all are equal

There is no need for black and white

We are all the same in the dark

To me the darkness feels so right

Infrared Bexhill Photos

I had some free time yesterday and had to go to Bexhill in East Sussex anyway, so decided to take my old Fuji S100FS camera and my infrared filter so I could do some infrared photography.

They are all Infrared HDR (High Dynamic Range image from a single RAW file) images that were then Tone mapped and colour corrected! Constructive comments are always very welcome!!!

Hastings Zombie Walk!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of not only photographing, but also taking part (Follow the link below to see my make-up and costume) in the first annual Hastings Zombie Walk! This was the first time this event has ever happened in Hastings, East Sussex and there were only about 100 zombies (great for a first attempt!), but it was still great fun to be a part of it! The atmosphere was really nice and we did all get some funny looks!

"When Hell gets full, the dead shall walk the streets of Hastings!!!"

Oops, I kind of forgot to blog for a little while! Really must try harder!!!

Been up to lots of things recently, latest was exploring Speckled Wood in Hastings, East Sussex. A really beautiful place that I had never been to before. The sad thing is that I only found out about it because there is a campaign to save it as developers want to bulldoze it and turn it into houses, which sounds stupid to me! I know there does need to be expansion, but its really hilly, full of tress and has streams running through it, there must be easier places to develop instead of somewhere as beautiful as Speckled Wood!
