Hello everyone,

I hope is well with you wherever you happen to be. :)

Big thanks to everyone who's recently :+fav:'d, commented or added me to their :+devwatch:. It's all very much appreciated. :nod:

As some of you may have noticed, I've had a submission spurt. I've been getting out and about with the lightbox again and it's felt good. Hopefully I can keep the boll rolling when it comes to inspiration/motivation.

Otherwise I've just been keeping busy, seeing friends, watching films, seeking out new music. The Edinburgh International Film Festival starts today and I've got a ticket for the opening night movie. It's called Away We Go, and Sam Mendes and Maggie Gyllenhaal will both be present. Should be a good evening, and I've got over a weeks worth of movies to come, so plenty to look forward to.

On the musical front, I highly recommend checking out Bibio's new album, Ambivalence Avenue when it comes out on the 22nd of June. Also worth checking out are:

Soundpool, who's new album which you can sample at the following link which sounds ace! - [link]

Nurthice, who's tracks Moon Fox and Banana Republic are seriously funky stuff - [link]

That's about it for now. Enjoy the thumbs. :w00t:

Peace, Love & Happiness,
Michael. :peace: :ahoy:

Maybe all men got one big soul that everyone's a part of. All faces are the same man....one big self.

Hey friend! I'm doing alright. Work has been consuming my life for far to long. There is a point where overachievement doesn't pay off. And by payoff I'm refering to life's balance. I'll find a way.

SO how have you been!?!?! It has been a long time. Your work is looking vibrant and colourful!

Equilibrium is what we should seek in most things, I guess.

I've been alright; some highs, some lows, but I suppose that's just life.

Glad you're liking the work. Are you still shooting much yourself at all? Are you still using polaroids?

I haven't been shooting at all! I need some new inspiration.
I shoot a polaroid here and there. I need to order some stock from that polaroid premium company.
I'll post some new work soon.

Yeah, I went through a dry spell, though it's starting to rain, which is nice.

Looking forward to the new work. :)
