Testing Out A New Lens

Well not strictly a new lens, but Jamesy trying out the camera on the new iphone. Wearing my new Gap shirt.

Turns out there loads of type of effects and lens you can download for the iphone camera, now I know this may not be a new thing but I'm really liking its capabilities. There's even Diana lens and other 50s ones, for anyone who follows me on Twitter you may have seen loads of tweets about me trying to decide which digital camera to buy. I've settled on the Canon IXUS 95 IS and it should be arriving tomorrow. I will still be using my SLR but for the more quick snappier times this is going to come in handy.

I was looking enough to do attend a group interview with footwear designer Nicholas Kirkwood today, for The Manchester Fashion Network. Once it's up on the site I will post the interview on here, for all to see!

Thanks for all your comments on the last post regarding Tilly the dog, sadly Hollie had to have her put down a couple of days ago as she got much worse. It's really sad to think I won't hear her baking at me when I come through the front door ever again. Bye bye Tilly.


A special mention to That's So Yesterday, who mentioned me on her first video blog orrr vlog, everyone should check it out, it's a super cool idea and she does it really well. I'd do one but I have a silly Blackpool accent.

    i was just thinking about vlogs today too...i concluded that i won't be doing one as i hate the sound of my midlands/scouse accent haha :)

  4. Awwwww doggy... very sad. I remember crying for days when my mum gave my 4 month old golden cocker spaniel away - well it did have red rage and would go for me every time I went to stroke it - I just wanted it to love me. HA

    Mate - I hope you are wrong in regards to the price points. I was hoping to get my mitts on that tweed blazer too. Im trying to save in preparation for my move to the big smoke - not gunna happen.
