umber four in the series of roadside photos, now in fish-eye-o-vision!

Some more photos from my first film in my christmas gift fish eye camera…

So far i’ve learned I need to get closer to things and that taking photos is low light it a waste of film.

‘ve been spending far too much time, or at least more time than the video warrants, trying to post a Youtube video here on the blog. Its just that I spent the best part of a summer holiday in 1983/4 somewhere in Devon playing the Spy Hunter arcade game, the proper sit in one of course.

This new commercial for Pontiac faithfully recreates the action in 3d. I think its pretty fantatastic, though as an advertisement it has the disadvantage that the product its selling is the worst looking vehicle in the piece.

You can download and play another 3d reinterpretation of spy hunter, here, called Highway Pursuit, Its pretty good fun, even if it does lack the classic Peter Gunn theme and skip all the Car/Boat/Car stuff.

If unlike me you have the correct number of shockwave plugins you can also maybe play the original online, Spy Hunter…

usiness opportunity for ailing record shops.

I know allot of record shops are struggling to compete with a fall in sales, with the Competition of the internet, ebay and bands that sell their own product direct.

So how about starting up a traveling ‘Record Fair.’ Charge people an entrance fee to come in and look at the stock. Stock that previously would have been been free to browse, but that would be costing rent to store in a shop. Then price the stock a good £3/4 over what things would cost in a normal independent, which means if you should sell something, you make a damn good profit, and if not, you’ve still made a few quid from all the browsers, who’d normally have walked in, and out, for free. Win win.

On a separate note, I went to a record fair in Tamworth today. Some fantastic stock there from the single stallholder, but I didn’t think £15 a CD was really a ‘record fair’ type price. The stock was v good though. Next one is in July apparently…

‘m looking forward to the fast approaching Supersonic Festival in Birmingham.
Last years event really was fantastic. Dates are 11th-13th July 2008 and if I list them here, it’ll save me looking them up later.
