Photo Comp

Ever since i went to the Hockney exhibition last year and saw his amazing Polaroid composites i've wanted to have a go at it myself. This stuff from Patrick Winfield is also excellent. Not sure i'll get results as good as these but the crossbow bolt of inspiration has been fired and i'm off to buy some film right now!

If there's one really cool thing about blogs and bloggers it's the number of niche interests they cover, something that even the hardcore traditional publishers couldn't hope to fulfill.

Safe and Painless Manipulation of Penile Zipper Entrapment

(Satish Chandra Mishra; Charak Palika Hospital; 2005)
A quick, simple and non-traumatic approach to penile zipper entrapment

"Entrapment of penile foreskin is quite a distressing situation for the child and the parents and can be a frustrating management problem. Any overzealous intervention would simply worsen the situation. Also, attempts to cut open the zip fastener are time taking and may not be either helpful or feasible in all the situations. The approach to the zipper manipulation should be quick, simple, non-traumatic and reproducible irrespective of the age of the child, mechanism and site of entrapment, presence of the local edema and zipper size or design."

Really, really nice stuff from all four corners of this fair city of ours. I strongly recommend every Londoner spend some time on this site - excellent work Eric.

Hook, line & sinker

I go fishing quite a lot when i can be bothered. So this caught my eye when it was sent to me (thanks Jim). The thing i like best about this $1,000,000 game fishing lure is not the 'just over 3 pounds of glimmering gold and platinum, encrusted with 100 carats of diamonds and rubies (4,753 stones to be exact)'
