Here we go (again)

A while back, there was an anti-terrorist advertising campaign in London with posters telling people to be very suspicious of people taking photos of CCTV cameras. Which was exactly what I was doing (yes I have been stopped). Well I’ve just about finished my CCTV project (hence the lack of recent blog entries) when they start doing it again, only this time they’ve put up a load of posters in my home town of Mancunia. Thanks to BinaryApe on flickr for telling me about this one, which I went and snapped today. This particular poster is (without any irony whatsoever) virtually outside Calumet the photography equipment shop. Here are some remixes. Anyroadup, I’ve done a short video and essay and might do a podcast to go with my CCTV project, so stay tuned. And don’t forget to report any suspicious goings on. And if I do get an exhibition, could they run another campaign to coincide?

It’s a goer

Paid a visit to the opening of the exhibition of Polaroids (OK and a few Fujis) at Touchstones in Rochdale (see below for the ‘Cup of Instant’ entry for all the gory details). Well worth a visit (and not just to see my effort, which isn’t the one on the left, but if you’d read the aforementioned ‘Cup of Instant’ entry you’d know that already, come to think of it I’m not sure I remember the one on the left being displayed, oh bugger! I’ll have to go back and have another look, anyroadup if you do go and visit and this one’s not displayed don’t sue me, or the gallery for that matter, right I’m glad that’s clear then – I’ll get me coat). P.S. Someone of great taste and discernment has bought the picture, but ask nicely and I’m sure we can knock out another.

Who eat all the donuts?

It’s now verborten to take a picture of a police officer or member of the armed forces in case it helps terrorists. Yeah right.
