Yakuza Photography. Japanese Mafia

I am always on the look out for unique photos that have a narrative so when I stumbled upon these set of photos about the Japanese Yakuza then it immediately opened my eyes.

Awesome tune played with Garageband on iPad
May 27th
Now, this is something I imagined was possible, but to actually see it being done is amazing. What this guy produce a sweet little rock track on the an iPad! Who would have thought it was possible a few years ago to make music like this on a tablet! This is where Microsoft got it so wrong, they thought it was about hardware, it’s always been about software.
Why DropBox is every photographer’s friend.
May 22nd
I do intend to write a blog about all the software tools I use to make my job a little easier, but for now I want to talk about a little utility I use daily called Dropbox.
Dropbox is probably the best file synchronisation and ‘cloud’ manager there is. I can work on any file on my Mac (or PC) and I know that file will be automatically saved online every time I change that file. Not only that, but the synchronisation is fully automated.

This is what I’ve been waiting all week for! Awesome footage of Dice’s Battlefield 3 out this Autumn.
Battlefield 3 is set to steal Call of Duty’s crown
Apr 16th
I appreciate this may upset some Call of Duty fans but Black Ops was only a commercial hit because of it’s name. Had it been a brand new title it would not have had a fraction of it’s record breaking sales.
That is not to say it isn’t a good game, but I have always believed The Battlefield Series was a superior experience.
Battlefield 3 is the big game of 2011, and I couldn’t be happier!! I’m sure if you’re a gamer of any kind you’ll have seen the sneak previews released by EA and Dice. The hype will reach a fanatical More >

While listening to Spotify Aha’s signature classic tune Take On Me came on. Being the type that is easily distracted I wondered if there any cool cover versions of the iconi 80′s song. I stumbled upon Igor Presnyakov. This is amazing!

Sold my awesome 2007 iMac 24″
Mar 8th
It’s crunch time for everybody because of the recession. I looked at my equipment which was surplus and unfortunately it was my iMac that was on the list. I already have enough Apple products to start my own Apple Store so even though I was sad to see it go it did go to a good home. I get to see it from time to time, but it’s used more often now.
