Such an amazing shot!

Photography by Alfie Goodrich @alfie.photography · Feb 9

Colour version of the car park today.

Such a great spot. Heading back there again soon with Charlie, to shoot some portraits of him.

Colour 65x24 aspect ratio photograph made with my iPhone 12Pro of the car park at our local car wash. Perforated metal of the 2nd floor throws amazing light downstairs on a sunny day. Great spot. Filmed a music video here some years back.

We made a timeline of everything that’s happened in human history using only Iron Maiden songs

Iron Maiden have written songs about dinosaurs, the Second World War and many, many things in between. So, here’s the history of Planet Earth as told through the metal legends’ lyrics.

I'm relearning ZBrush, and it's fun!

(Re)learning ZBrush

Since ZBrush iPad release last year, I was willing to dig into ZBrush again. I learned some basic ZBrush back in 2022/23 but never actually take it seriously. Until now. So, over the past week or two...

Looking back at some paintings I painted this year, I totally forgot I had a "Japanese Storefronts" phase.

Lots of quibbles and corrections but overall this is a really useful platform to explore boundaries over time. I've been putting together something like this for East/SE Asia (still unfinished) with some students but this goes beyond that in usability https://www.oldmapsonline.org/en/history/regions
