timmay..

this one goes out to timmay. i'm super jealous that he is off to whistler for the summer to ride downhill but i'm also stoked that i've inherited (with a donation to the whistler fund) his pimp fixie. enough said...

you just know when you've arrived in the countryside....

the fields of clover, the endless midges, the beautiful silence and the winding country lanes. small shops with only two copies of the paper, dog walks, mowing the lawn and wellington boots. but as you stroll back to the fire with a few logs in tow the lasting memory of being here, and not there -  is the beep your phone makes when it has voicemail despite the fact it never rang in the first place. it's actually really nice not to have signal but it does have its disadvantages in that usually the time you don't have signal is the time you need to organise a particularly difficult trip involving immeninent travel, numerous contacts and a wide range of people trying to get hold of you....typical

piece in the Sun's music supplement today on Kasabian - see here. glad to see that SFTW used a nice selection of my shots from last weeks shoot before the bands gig at the Brighton dome as part of the Brighton festival.

Off in the next few days to France to follow the Help for Heroes on a fundraising bike ride so will post en route...watch this space. See more info at  www.helpforheroes.org.uk/

running around..

despite the fact the work is not flooding my (or anyone else's) way at the moment I have been rather busy with jobs, recovering hard-drives, editing, tidying and generally keeping the m4 in use.

stress test..

tom..

just back from one of my favourite haunts - the hospital to check on the illusive spider bites - once again antibiotics win the day. there was a guy who turned up with a face mask on looking a little pale so maybe i have the pig now too!

on the photo front i am trying to sink my teeth into a new project and i have another series of pictures i did before christmas on the clothing brand howies which i would like to finish. its all to do with the weather at the moment - my life revolves around the weather - and doctors appointments...  i am enjoying the new 5d - used it at a particularly dark conference the other day  and iso 1600 has never looked so good - it was a lifesaver!

moving on this is tom at his house in bristol.

new website...

i have just put the finishing touches to my new website.. 

mikelusmore.com which has been on an official hiatus for about a year now is back online with a new fresh look and a new system behind it to make it easier to keep up to date. Please take a minute to have a look at what i am doing at the moment and keep up to date with my blog for any updates..

check out the stories page for new audio slideshows i have been working on including most recently on traditional spring lambing or read my blog from the site..

thanks...
