Did a little bike ride to Meridan and took a few photos along the way - a thinly veiled excuse to keep stopping so I didn't look like a weakling up them thar hills. More HDR photos for you (my addiction continues) I also wanted to try out a couple of stereoscopic photos. These are photos taken in quick succession from different viewpoints that, when viewed together, give a 3D image. You look a bit odd when taking them as you do a little photography squat and lunge to either side to take each photo, if you do this with your bike helmet on as well, be prepared for some strange looks.

To see the double images open them up so they are bigger and then cross your eyes. ***disclaimer: don't go blind now*** The Midlands shall be revealed in glorious 3D! They have turned out better than I thought they would. Next I should probably find more interesting subjects but when your legs have turned to jelly from bike riding and various artistic lunges, all thoughts are channelled into finding creative ways to keep upright.

I performed Make Do and Mend for the third time with Katherine Johnson on Saturday night at The Basement in Brighton. We were one of the many acts performing at the "Supper Cub" night which included art performance, music and poetry. Our slot was for an hour and a half where we frantically tried to fix the mess the audience had made-the Brighton audience certainly did not hold back on the map destroying! Our washing line of wet maps were at the top of the amphitheater which took a lot of exertion to climb up to the top and do our duty. The line of destroyed maps started to look like rows of frayed bunting, quite apt in the run up to the Royal Wedding but also another layer of meaning that runs through the piece of damage and repair. All in all a good night, excellent venue for our work and a great platform for artists or anyone involved in the creative scene. We even managed to enjoy the weather and have a little paddle in the sea!
