Just a little experiment. Trying to get some new content into my everyday doco style. Click on picture to enlarge.

Digging deep into my photo-collection i found some snaps i took on a 'Diana F+' last year and a old Russian stereo-camera called 'sputnik'. Analogue photography is special.

Sometimes, with the right number of right people, stuff happens that would not otherwise have happened. I'm sure you've been there.

Doha: Consturction City

The construction in Doha, the largest city in Qatar, seemed to be endless. Its seems to be a town that has almost sprung up over night and has been trying to establish itself as the commerce and cultural center on the Arabian Peninsula, in a similar way to Dubai. Unlike Dubai, Doha is built on a foundation of Oil and even under the recent financial crisis, it is still growing.

Doha is a place that can only be experienced from a distance, it is hard to get close to anything.

Out of hand

I just turned up, this is what i found.
