Burger on the Balcony

I love my firebox stove. I use it whenever I can, on a balcony even. Heat comes from the Trangia spirit/Meths burner on this occasion. It's a great way to make dinner, slower than on a gas stove but what's the hurry? I take in the view and drink a beer while dinner cooks. Fabulous.

Wall of bacon

If you've never cooked bacon like this you must rush out and do it immediately. 
​Takes a little while but the smell is amazing. Combine that with the aroma you get off your cup of fresh ground cup coffee, and the wood smoke. Well, it's a sublime experience only Alan Shore can articulate.
​Simple pleasures, eh!

This was the third image taken teaching my little buddy photography. We took cuttings from the garden and taped them to a strips of cereal box card to make the foliage stay upright and still. Then I placed Kenny inside for that Trooper in the jungle look.

This image was the second one I made while teaching my little buddy photography. Using props. In this case tomato ketchup.

Meet Kenny

I bought this little chap to teach my friends little chap photography. The little chap above is called Kenny, my friend little chap is called Josh.
Josh was perhaps seven at the time, so we needed to be able to learn in the house and garden. Josh was a Star Wars nut, so I picked up his Stormtrooper and started to teach him Macro mode on his camera. And it spiralled from there.
​Josh lost interest after a few weeks, as little kids do, but I got my own 'trooper' an, on-and-off for the last 15+ years I've been taking pictures of him. This is where he lives, in a wee tin branded Heinz.

    This is my playground. So it's always 'work in progress'. I like to create all sorts that doesn't fit into one 'niche'! Mainly cartoon robots, bicycle culture and other 'bits' that occur to me like coffee, cooking on a camp stove and stormtroopers.
