The Others
Some things need no explanation. Things like this. But what are they for? All will be revealed.
There's another one below right in the thumbnails. Such lovely family pics these...

Moments Of Choice
"I decided that I wasn't going to turn the camera away, or shut the door, or shoot from the waist up." LARRY CLARK
If that’s how you choose to shoot a film - if you opt for bare loins, incestuous abuse and teenage suicide - then, to get your film shown in the UK, punching, wrestling and attempting to throttle the man in charge of your distribution company - the one person with the power to say no - would probably be something worth avoiding.

Pain Free Papercut
This chap is incredible. Most of his work is done using nothing but A4 paper - the stuff we use everyday without thinking - plus a knife and maybe a bit of glue to create incredibly fragile, beautiful, fun and in a wierd way quite tragic creations.
Over to the man himself, Peter Callesen: "I find this materialization of a flat piece of paper into a 3D form almost a magic process - or maybe one could call it obvious magic, because the process is obvious and the figures still stick to their origin, without the possibility of escaping. I find the A4 sheet of paper interesting to work with, because it probably still is the most common and consumed media and format for carrying information today, and in that sense it is something very loaded. This means that we rarely notice the actual materiality of the A4 paper"

Tales From The Underground
Your heart thuds like an analog kick drum, repeated over and over, quickening now and then, but always there, the only rhythm to a dark and silent night. You feel the heat of your breath brewing in the mask that covers your face, but you’ve observed the movements of the guards for days now so you hope you won’t need its protection. You also know it’s rarely that easy. You know you have ten minutes to get in, write and get out.
Similarly masked, a friend lifts the lid on the man hole and you drop inside, into the dark, into the underground.

A Casual Kickabout
Just as a little side, we headed down the road recently for a little kickabout and for some reason one of us decided to film the whole thing. It’s just a few keepy-uppies and training drills really, nothing much at all. Standard fare in fact.

Rudey's World
In this era of customisation it seems like any product can be adapted to represent its owner. Individuality is currency and people want to be recognised as being unique. Some are braver than others, and for a certain few individuality is a way of life.
With people demanding that which no one else has, there has to be designers with the talent to deliver extraordinary, inimitable work and do it again and again. I caught wind of Rudey about a year ago having seen his work in a shop window, His talents had been spotted by a 'pooled resources' company representing designers, musicians and artists.

A New Age & Another Level
Since 2003 the heated debates in English rugby have raged around the same old themes and posed the same familiar questions.
Is the Super 12 champagne game a better brand of rugby than that found in the northern hemisphere where the stakes appear higher and thus the games more attritional? Is promotion and relegation the right way to run our premier league, attract long term investment and build the sport for the future? When will England unleash the potential of their three quarters and deliver the complete performance we as fans crave? All players and followers of rugby have a view and we are all are animated in expressing our heartfelt perspectives.
