Just a thing I have in my dining room.

A good afternoon at Dawn’s

…with Ann and her family and friends. Ann brought her camera, so expect to see some pictures on Ann’s blog.

Boris Karloff

I love this picture, taken on set, of Boris Karloff taking a break during the filming of one of the 1930s Frankenstein films…

8mm film transfer

All those trains on Saturday were so I could take a 50 year old standard 8mm film projector to Ann’s where Adam was to transfer some old home movies to video. Ann took some pictures of the process…




After eventually re-discovering how to thread the film onto the projector (it’s not right in the photos above!) he managed to produce some quite acceptable results…

This was taken around 1964 and contains the only moving pictures I know of my father, he was nearly always the cameraman.

Stockton Weekender Photographs – #stcktnweekender

I have nearly a thousand RAW photo files to sift through from the weekend’s music festival in Stockton-on-Tees, I’ll eventually post the best of them to Flickr and link here. In the meantime here are a few of my favourites…

Lizzy Once Moore (a Thin Lizzy/Gary Moore tribute band)…

Young Rebel Set

The Go! Team


We Are Scientists

The Pogues (These are a little grainy… but it somehow seems appropriate for this band!)


The Purnells (on the second stage or more exactly off the second stage)

Jake Bugg (spot who is walking in background… he watched nearly the whole set from the wings – is that the right expression for a festival stage?)

Simon & Oscar from Ocean Colour Scene performing acoustically

And the Sunday night headliners James…


All the pictures were taken from the audience – no stage front media passes for me!
