Inspiration: Go find something rusty
As you are all probably aware of by now (mostly because I just won't shut up about it), I'm writing a book. Part of the whole process means that I'm taking a lot more photos than normally, and I am playing with some pretty nifty equipment while I'm at it. Last week, I was in Holland for a couple of days, and was digging through an attic, where I found an old saw. A plain, boring wood-saw. I cut something in half (I was helping my mother doing some DIY), and then spotted tha the blade was quite rusty. 'Hmm', I thought, 'This whole rust thing is actually quite nifty'. So I decided to try and take a couple of photos.

My day job, if it can be called that, is being a writer. I've got one book out there so far and it's awesome, so go ahead and buy a copy! It's available from
In front of you, five hyperactive men with guitars, drums, and microphones. Behind you, five thousand fans. In your hands, a camera... You're going to need more than just a little bit of good luck to pull this one off. That's where this book comes in.
Take a Canon EOS 450D. Attach a Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens. Hit the streets of London. See what happens.
