Fork+Knife

Brand new Brand New! "Fork and Knife" is the name given to the very latest release by Long Island boys Brand New. For those of you who acquired the leaked Demos from before The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me was released you will know the song. Up until now it has been know to you as Untitled #7, or the Piano Song.

Produced by the brilliance of Mike Sapone an extended member and close friend of the band, this singles' amazing sound and recording begs your stereo to play it over and over. Brand New and pianos should go together like peas and carrots, so i've included an old track called "Am I Wrong" it is a cover of Love Spit Love and seriously one of my favourite BN songs.

If you haven't already had the pleasure of dancing with forks and knives please head over to their Myspace or iTunes and buy this song!

Twin Lens Adventures

These pictures were taken on an old TLR camera very similar to the Seagull 4B. It probably is an original one which was made in Shanghai, i just can't read the writing, cos its in Chinese! This is one of my favourite cameras at the moment, it had been sitting on my shelf looking quite restless for over a year before i thought to actually put some film in it to see if it still functioned. 

I used Ilford HP5 plus 400 ISO Black and White 120mm film. I borrowed a friends light meter and went on a twin lens adventure. I was really happy with the results, and to see the clarity of medium format film over 35mm.

The camera has a light leak but it gives my photos a lot more character. I can't wait to shoot some colour film during my travels to Indonesia in November.
