One Phone To Rule Them All
I am testing two phones at the moment. I normally carry two iPhones day to day as one is mainly used as a handheld computer and I hate having a call on a phone I am conducting an interview with so one only really gets used for data. I tried carrying the four phones for about five minutes before I realised just how ridiculous that was. That said.. due to my mobile digital communication needs I...
Life In The Shadows
This was made 2 years ago. Doesn’t feel like it. So much has happened but it still feels like yesterday. Things haven’t got any better. Quite the opposite. They are much worse. Here is the original text that went with the video.. ~ It’s the fifth anniversary of the Iraq War and with talk of it not being even half-way through, we are approaching the 4000th American combat...
Bletchley Park - Light at the end of the tunnel?...
Once a month a group of geeks and tech lovers meet up at Bletchley Park to network, chat, and talk about how best to raise awareness for Bletchley Park’s campaign for survival. This meeting is called Station X (@StationX) after the 10th Mi6 radio station that was situated at the Park. During the last meeting, Station X regular and Bletchley Park volunteer Adam (@Computid) mentioned that he...

A new way to enjoy wine?
This new wine box called the FreshCase is not in the shops till November the 1st but I’ve managed to get my hands on a couple to drink.. Err.. I mean to review.Drinking wine from a box reminds me of my time in Australia (they are called Goons there) where we recycled enough of the wine bags to build a raft but were not that clear of head to actually sail it anywhere.This is not a wine box in...
November Is Now Movember
This November shall be known as Movember, and it’s all about bringing the moustache back to raise awareness about prostate cancer. It’s a month-long celebration of the moustache. Shave on November 1st and grow and groom your moustache throughout the month. Last year 14 million was raised for mens health charities worldwide. This year the The Prostate Cancer Charity hope to raise...
When I Die
We don’t talk about death enough. Many are of the mind when i die i die. I am not going to care about it so i’m not going to think about it.I think having a plan (and i don’t just mean a will) makes it so much easier for those left to organise your send off. Maybe we should have a page on our personal websites called www.mydomain.com/whenidie or a facebook/wordpress/blogger...
Petzl MYO RXP (First Look)
I just got hold of a Myo RXP from Petzl. Winter is setting in and living in the country means, like broadband, street lighting is not yet every where. Some places I walk the dog are close to pitch black and where there are dogs, there’s poo. I guess I needn’t go any further. This is the first Petzl head torch with programmable regulated lighting levels allowing you to customise up...
Why the iPhone alone just isn't enough
If you want to make mobile media on a single device throughout the day the iPhone is lacking two important things.. Decent battery power and a good connection. I show you what I do to overcome this. (This video was recorded on Quicktime on my mac.) Posted via email from Documental.ly | Comment »

Watch This Space
Yesterday (actually only a few hours ago) I was at Urbis for the opening night of a Hip Hop Exhibition called ‘Home Grown’. I met some great people, had some amazing conversations and grabbed some moments in photos, film and audio. It’s gone 2am here in my Manchester hotel room and I have been browsing some of the images and viewing some of the online conversations around the...

Graham Wiseman
I was taking photographs when I heard the news. It’s hit me hard. If I type I cant cry. I feel like I have lost my father. Again. Worse this time, because I knew him. I have just answered the phone to a shaky voice telling me a good friend of mine has died. Graham Wiseman was more than a friend though. He was a father figure, a mentor, a teacher the one guy who enabled me to do what I do....

Home Grown: The Story of UK Hip Hop
This Wednesday the 14th of October I’ll be heading up to Manchester to the Urbis in Manchester for the launch party of ‘Home Grown: The Story of UK Hip Hop’. I believe this is the first exhibition of it’s kind documenting in detail the development of the UK Hip Hop scene. From the Urbis Website:“Looking back over three decades, the exhibition tells the story of how a...

[This blog post also exists on my main blog OurManInside.com linked here: http://su.pr/9mKlGs ]My friend Phil wrote to me from Kirkuk, he’s researching this story on the Arab-Kurd situation. It’s slow going, but he summarises it all with one sentence. No one wants to compromise, there’s a low level war already underway and things could get more dangerous in a year or two. All...

Paving The Way
Did you know Polystyrene was discovered in 1839? I quite fancy egg chips and beans with a cup of tea but at what price..?At the risk of sounding like a hippy (after all I was brought up by them) Polystyrene does not biodegrade.. I have known this a while but every day I watch my kid grow I wonder what I have done to pave his way.. What kind of world will he grow into. Sad as it seems I do look at...
A Fist With The Thumb Tucked In
This little stone fist is over three thousand years old. Maybe more. It was loose in the bottom of a large box of Egyptian artefacts that I was asked to photograph for a museum I was fascinated by it because at the time the logo for my Documentally Podcast was a fist. The fist I had chosen was nothing like this though. This Egyptian fist has the thumb tucked in and my fist was based loosely on...
Beaver Wax
I’ve been in a few bands over the years. Some never left the bedroom recording studios they were born in. One hit the decks of the late great John Peel and others toured the UK bars and Uni’s brushing dangerously with the possibility of becoming something. I was just trawling through an old photo folder and found a mock up image for an album cover than never got made. ‘Beaver...
