in response to Defenestration of Bedclothes

kobe: WOW that second photo is freeky! i love it.

in response to Defenestration of Bedclothes

kobe: that place has a very dirty floor. cool shoes though.

in response to Disco at Passerby

kobe: im surprised this one doesnt have an accompanying thread of whining irish folks and people saying stuff like "uP dA ArDoYn3!"

in response to Welcome to Belfast

elaine: kobe, you must be a very reasoned individual. the only reason i can think of is blind fucking fury

in response to Defenestration of Bedclothes

elaine: nowadays it completely depends on what your end output is going to be. onscreen 72dpi still or moving image gives a lorra lorra scope for the inputs. i was discussing about putting 'eye of the storm' onto canvas with a geezer and suddenly how big it could get became an...

in response to Zone & Shrub

Peter: yeah, ill probably pass this scene today on the way home. ill be sure to give it a status check for you, heh.

in response to Defenestration of Bedclothes

kobe: the only reason why i could think of someone doing something like this is that they or their kid must have peed the sheets or something. perhaps a good airing out will get the sheets all sorted? if you pass by there again, let us know how it all turned...

in response to Defenestration of Bedclothes

Peter: well, the lomo is much higher res than my cameraphone, as it takes actual 35mm film and has a glass lens and stuff... but yeah, the color saturation is very similar!

in response to Zone & Shrub

elaine: cripes, what a perfectly horrible idea

elaine: now, see, i like these, and to me this is as good as a lomo. should i be shot?

in response to Zone & Shrub

kobe: wow thats a cool montage, elaine.

in response to eye of the storm

kobe: these are both very nice photos. i bet the foot in the last frame belongs to the man in black seen in the first, aye? i agree with jamie that the reflection is killer.

in response to At the Bus Stop:

kobe: is it just me or is it a universal thing that alot of the irish have such bad grammar? so much "youse" and "fuk" and the like. and to further compound the matter, many here go on and on ranting and complaining with such. no wonder "youse" are all so...

in response to Shankill Road: Belfast

coolgirl and cuzn: go sinn fein in the elections! ireland is ours u huns! fuk da dup and fuc da uup!

in response to Shankill Road: Belfast

kobe: what a strange little montage. it looks like the beginning to a television advert or something, as if words are gonna just start popping out onto the screen in some maniacally coloured font, describing some product and asking us to purchase said item, its worth is evidently boosted by using...

in response to Moscow Sticker Graffiti

coolgirl and cuzin: vote stiofan long for balmoral! hes for better schools! oglaigh na h'eireann!

in response to The Hair Shop

elaine: yeah, but you know what, i couldn't watch it. i think i may be full. i saw those same actors do 'Art' in the west end which was fab, and the ginger bloke played sexy Ripley in Blackpool which was very underwatched last autumn. I loved the very first episode...

in response to The Hair Shop

hasslehoff: damn was that on last night? i missed it didn't i. it's funny i often amused myself by imagining this exact scenario. a seedy little shoppe where one might go in order to furtively purchase some fine human hair. for what purpose who knows, but it's not wrong. not like...

in response to Prospect Heights:

elaine: are you fishing for complements, coyly unnamed young man? thick description i got from clifford geertz, the interpretation of culture, but it seems he nicked it from gilbert ryle. the crucial meaning of which can be got from the secondary text, that is geertz page 6-7, happy hunting

a disturbed young man: are you calling me thick elaine?

in response to Falling in Love on the M40 Northbound

elaine: it looks like it could just as easily be somewhere you would go to buy hair. there is a comedy show here called the league of gentlemen which is set in a remote english village, and everything is dark and inverted and the people are inbred, with very very dark...

in response to The Hair Shop

hasslehoff: those are some awsomely long exposures. i hope you grace us with some more.

in response to Night in L.A.

buzzy: yeah i concur. you should def continue this story. everyone loves a good story and this one has definitely sparked my interest. i would most def return to read further installments if available. it sounds like a really fresh take on an eccentric romance/gangster vignette with an interesting POV. altogether,...

Peter: oh word! thats cool...

in response to Who needs Graf Trux...

Peter: that place looks quaint at first, then creepy as you take a closer look. very few signs of human activity. i bet its really quiet around there. is that the place that would leave the scraps of hair littered about the street?

in response to The Hair Shop

elaine: you can go for miles, as long as you don't mind if you don't come back..is the only thing, it's a very scant service. i first went to holkham because my ex, j remembered it from his childhood holidays. we stayed in b&b at welles next the sea where i...

in response to away from cities

elaine: i loved found note, that was perfect for my sensibility. i didn't know, when i posted eye of the storm if it was really going to wash, but i am a risk taker as an artist, if nothing else (i have a completely clean driving licence) and it went down...
