Most hardcore DIY fans out there will have heard of Make magazine – it’s O’Reilley’s first steps into the magazine publishing world, after many a year of publishing high-quality books.
And now, it’s our turn. One of the project editors over at Make contacted us a while ago about publishing our Macro-lens-built-from-pringles-box article in the magazine. I re-wrote it for magazine publishing, and the result? Well, the mag’s on newsstands May 22nd (the day after my birthday, incidentally!), so pick up a copy, or order an on-line subscription today!
Apart from our article, It’s got tons of other great DIY-based stuff in it, too, of course, with dozens of funky projects.
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.

I know it’s cheesy but I’m proud of you :)
I got my issue yesterday, and saw your article. I told my wife “Hey, I kinda know him! Well, I mean, I read his blog and stuff.”
Very cool.
Awesome! Nice work, Haje!
Shack: Heh, that’s very cool :)
They haven’t actually sent me a magazine yet, though, and I’m not entirely sure if they will. Do’h.
Oh well, there’s a big mag shop in town, I hope they carry it there :)
Amit and Schley: Thankyou!
Congrats! Every issue of Make I’ve seen has been brilliant, with tons of cool projects. Your macro lens will make a great addition.
