I have not written on this blog in a rather long time. Time for an update !
So during the summer I went on great holiday in the south of France in a lovely town called Lodeve.
I have also managed to get myself a full time job! I am now working at a great rental firm called VMI.
It is a great company to work at as it is at the for front of high definition in the UK. They have also just put their name down for the brand spanking Arri digital camera system: http://www.arridigital.com/teaser
I am also becoming increasingly interested in the Techno crane especially the technodolly: http://www.technodolly.com/ it looks like a great versatile peice of equipment and I am eager to see it in the flesh !
More to come soon

Days fishing or should i say blanking !
Last wednesday I woke up at 3 am to go fishing at one of my favourite marks.
It was also going to be the first days filming of my new project, an online sea fishing tv channel.
The conditions were looking perfect as there was hardly and breeze and the water was flat calm.
As we arrived at said mark though the water was looking a bit murkey, oh well i thought and set about casting a plug next to a load of promising looking rocks. You guessed it I bought back with me half of the north seas weed and not alot else. I tried all types of lures including softies as i thought they might break through the weed and attract the fish. No sucsess
We went back to the drawring board as we realised that we couldnt make a fishing programme without catching any fish. So we bit the bullet and went to the local tackle store and bought some really nice fresh lug and some squid.
After parting with the money for that we arrived back at the mark. First cast and the tide+weed was making sure that the lead would not hold bottom no matter how large it was. after a couple of hours of this we decided enough was enough.
So I guess its back to the drawing board and to actually catch some fish on film !

newt
Was round at my mates house today and I saw this newt.
I thought it would just run away but it let me get really close.

Cycle Touring
I have become really interested in long haul bicycle tours recently. I love the idea of just getting on the bike with a tent a cooker and not much else and just going !
I find this guy an inspiration :
