	Mum Earlier in the day before this shot was taken, my brother was sitting where my Mum is, and the setting sun was shining in through the patio doors, lighting him up nicely from the left hand side of the shot. When this one was taken the sun had long gone down, and so I setup a strobe in the garden and balanced the flash with the ambient light in the room to get this setup. Strobist info: One Canon 580 EX II to the left of the scene, aimed slightly upwards with the little white bounce card out, set to 1/2 power. See my blog for more info on how I set it up.

	A morning coffee, cigarette and chat I pass the Monmouth Coffee Company every morning on my walk to work. This little bench is a prime spot for morning commuters to get their early fix of caffeine and have a quick read of the paper or a friendly chat. The Monmouth Coffee Company is one of those lovely places that makes you feel weird because everyone who works there seems so happy. chris-beaumont.com This photo is Public Uploaded on Sept. 10, 2008
	The Tools of the Modern State There's something about going back to Essex that really messes with my constitution. I feel like I regress back down several steps on the evolutionary scale. Like I've walked right onto the set of 'They Live'. These security cameras are quite the eye sore; menacing and portentous. Ultimately I suppose the reasons for their existence are rational and understandable, desirable even, but still, for me they represent a facet of the darker side of the modern state, especially in Britain, which is, apparently, the most surveiled state on earth.

	Arsenal vs Real Madrid - Fake Tilt Shift I went to see the Arsenal vs Real Madrid pre-season warm up game a couple of weekends ago with some work mates. It was a tepid game with little to write home about, though my friend Ash bought his 2 year old son along to his first football match, which was lovely to see. I added a fake tilt-shift effect in Photoshop when processing this one, which makes it look like an image of a tiny model. I've made a video tutorial about how to apply fake tilt shift in photoshop and would love to get some feedback from you guys about what you think. It's my first attempt at such a venture so go easy!
