Day Twenty One

Day Twenty One.  Scanning the house for ideas and every day i overlooked the small collections of VW Campers that were originally destined to spend their lives as egg cups and money boxes as opposed to shelved ornaments.

Anyway, hey were dragged off the shelves for the first vehicle photoshoot of the year.

Hope you like.

Day Twenty

Tim!

Tim is now a part of the family.  He was adopted during the purchase of a 1973 VW Type 3 Squareback which caused quite a stir in the Northern Ireland car scene.  Tim was the deal breaker, if he didnt come with the car then the deal was not being done.

As such Tims following began, he ended up with his own bebo and facebook pages, he dug round peoples houses and emptied their fridges.  His style and outgoing nature was the epicentre of cool.  He even saw centre stage at Portrush's Party On The Beach.

Tim still resides with us, however, due to his personality and hsi past shenanigans he has to be in the house between the hours of 7pm and 7am and the Police really do not like it when he isnt here.

Do not gamble with Tim, do not drink with Tim, do not fight with Tim and do not enter heated discussion with Tim - YOU WILL LOSE!!! Chuck Norris is Tims bitch ;)

Day Nineteen

Okay, so you know times are desperate when you resort to toilet humour. lol.  oh and no point zooming in there boys ;)

And before you all start, no im not riding on a chicken, nor is there better hanging out of a nest and no, i dont wax :P

So that said, who can come up with an original embarassing comment now.  i will leave that to you lot.

Thanks for watching

Day Eighteen

Some light amusement for you on Day Eighteen.  When Kerry and I were doing the "pre-house move" Ikea strut, we happened upon this coat hook and for the simple reason it made me laugh, we bought it.

Anyway, I'm not sure if admitting this is a good thing, but i still find it amusing and secretly chuckle to myself when i walk past knowing there is a dogs arse hanging off our wall.

Hope you give a little giggle too.

Day Seventeen

We take a step into my past today.  Not just yesterday either, cos those pancakes had their repercussions and let me tell you it isnt nice.  This is from 18th December 2007, My last official day in the Royal Air Force.  From that day on I wanted to live the dream, grow my hair and be in the same country as my family and friends for most of the year.  I guess you could say I am living that dream, unfortunately paycheques aren't there when i awake.

Thanks for looking once again.

Day Sixteen

Well being Pancake Tuesday, what more did you expect.

I believe this was the most pancake looking pancake we managed to make, unfortunately the rest of them looked more like a poor effort at making an omlette.  Anyway, they tasted good and thats all that matters.

Thanks for looking

Day Fifteen

Well this makes a change, normally I would be out shooting the real cars.  Having spent the last 8 years or so driving, modifying and racing Hondas.  Having my life turned round and run by them, having friendships and relationships made and broke through them, i think it is only right that the Honda brand should have its place in this project.

Although it is only now, as I am posting this that I am realising just how many hundreds of small Honda items I could have put into this photo.  Still, I am liking the clean simplicity of what I shot.

Thanks for looking

Day Fourteen

Day Fourteen.  A couple of years ago I was introduced to the world of Pinstriping and Kustom Painting.  As such I attended two Pinstriping Workshops at the North Coast Hot Rod Shop run by world class pinstriper Nefarious.

As such 2 years later I had a panel striped by Nefarious and had it tattoo'd across my shoulder blades.  So to say Pinstriping is a passion would be an understatement.  All I need to do now is actually get good at it. 

Again, another photo which will show a subject understood and respected by my close friends.  I do hope you enjoy.

Thanks again for looking

Pete

Day Thirteen

Day Thirteen and we are back to the DC's. More brand whoring for Ken Block and the ever classy element skateboards.

Lighting is once again just a single Nikon SB-24 with a card snoot made out of an "Old El Paso" fajita box.  Nothing special whatsoever to have the same effect you would get from much more expensive equipment which i am yet to remove from their boxes for this project.

Hope you like this as I know it will be an image that many friends can relate to.

Thanks for viewing

Pete

Day Twelve

A new day is upon us, and i felt my photo's were getting very "samey".  So here is a little injection of colour in the form of the straw collection.

Hopefully this brightens up your day a wee bit

Come back tomorrow and we'll see what we can conjure up for you
