Don't say hello. You don't want to get her attention.

Happy St. Andrew's Day. I think.

Besides St. Andrew's Day, Hogmanay and Burns Night, Scotland really should have some national holidays that aren't in the dead of winter.

Bemusing Festival-related event of the year so far: Amanda Palmer signing her book at FP tomorrow.

Poison Protocols and Other Histories features work inspired by a series of altered states - photos of Alamut and Dee's mirror, a Tarantella video, and a computer program that spits out a madlib every ten seconds based on Lovecraft's vocabulary. I watched it for two minutes and I just have to do something with "horrifying investigation of secrets of Green Sultan".

I think it's a pretty interesting show.

Half as much and three times as powerful as my old camera, and slightly smaller too. Eeesh.

Ducking out of Conflagration day two early to go home and use it, over a week after buying it...

Traditional first shot is a self-portrait, which I will spare you.

Second is my redo of Milli.

Third is The Eleventh Doctor as made a couple weeks back by giving an existing Who figure mad hair and a slight kink in his nose.

On the slate next is the Conpulsion Gryphon, and made a 3:16 Trooper to mess with Gregor's mind.

Not appearing in work publicity material looking startled. (I won't link as I'm not so cruel.)

CRACK!

I give it six weeks until we see someone using this idea in an advert.

Today we sent a huge crate full of £100000 worth of original-negative silver-gelatin Peter Hujar photographs back to the ICA. On a rather wobbly looking rail trolley. After I got hit in the head by the crate while helping get it out of storage.

... Nice weather, innit?

I had to do it, I was dared.

The thing is, I think it works as a style choice for her.

Some shots from the Samhuinn parade, selected for relative visibility:

The Cailleach, queen of the winter

The sun of the Summer Court

The snowflake of the Winter Court

Fire swingers with green flames

Stiltwalking monsters

The jesters were bloody terrible again. I presume this is their job. Anyway, the acrobatic Red Men and Women got many more and bigger laughs through the simple method of striking suggestive poses.

The segue between normal and green fire swingers was accomplished by inexplicable ninja attack. No good pictures of green-flamey White Ninja wrestling orange-flamey Black Ninja, so you'll have to take my word for it. Still, the green flames got the biggest "ooh..." of the night.

The swordfight was a bit slow and deliberate, but the clash did raise some sparks later on. Some minor axe play, no giant flaming morningstars this time...

The Cailleach is still unnerving, as she should be.
