Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I especially liked that one of Nick Cave you posted a while back.

James, you really should either a) flog some of those gig shots as posters or, at the very least, b) get them on somewhere like Flickr and make a lot of folks happy!

That Cave one is absolutely top draw!

They're poor scans from a cheap machine that had a transparency hood but no 35mm holder, there's far more detail to be brought out in them, those ones were stuck down with magic tape, I'm amazed the turned out so well. When I was in 2nd year at art school a mate and myself used to sell B+W prints of bands we'd seen - UFO, Judas Priest, The Tubes and UK. In total, I think we sold 1 UFO and 3 Judas Priest, so we gave up and did it for fun after that. Eventually I got out of the habit of taking my camera to gigs (Canon A-1, 21st bidet pressie from The Mum and at one time inseparable from me), can't even remember the last band I snapped. Got a feeling it was Simple Minds at Tiffany's and either I was pished, fed up or it went wrong at the processing stage but the results were unusable. The gig I wished I'd photographed and didn't was Tones On Tail at Nightmoves, that woulda been a cracker. :|

thanks for the kind comments peeps, maybe I'll try and get better scans of those already posted and have a good root through The Blast Photographic Archiveâ„¢ to see if there are any other hidden gems :D

I dunno, it still overwhelms me?

CRM rocks and don't believe the hype :notworthy:
This just came back to me and it might interest you on a couple of levels, James.

When I was at the art school we actually visited the Apple Macintosh design centre in California (Palo Alto, I think), learning about their design ethic and prototype / production techniques.

As a 'thank you' for having us, the course tutors presented their design team with a book about Charles Rennie Mackintosh.

Do you see what they did there? (The letter K notwithstanding...)

great shots of fantastic architecture :notworthy:

Mackintosh of the CRM variety should have a 'k' Steven, or did I miss the point again?
I did, didn't I. :oops:

Nah, just the fact that our wacky tutors thought it would be a tremendous wheeze to give a book about Mackintosh to the folk working at Macintosh.

Crazy, crazy times... :roll: :lol:

Some shots of the new Canadian War Museum in Ottawa. I know, I know it seems like a contradiction in terms to have one but anyhoo.
