Stewart Lee’s uploaded high-quality versions of “Fist of Fun” and TMWRNJ to Google Video. Some of it hasn’t aged well, but there’s some great stuff in there. Definitely shaped my sense-of-humour.
Clyde & Bacon beg
A slightly-more-successful shot from my exclusive series "Photos taken before I've read the camera's manual". Coming soon to a prestigious gallery near you.
First Attempt
My first shot with my new (second-hand) Digital Rebel camera.
The composure... the subject... the fact I've accidentally managed to turn off all the auto-focusing-smarts in the camera... A masterpiece!
Now to read the manual...
