Having had no success in locating a copy of any version of Guitar Hero for the PC, we decided to create our own band.

Where would we be without the aluminium-vase-and-Hoover-tube guitar or, come to that, the chrome brush handle. Seriously, though, when the weather warms up we plan on taking this band on tour, photographing it in many different situations!

Anyway, here's to the New Year, and me kissing my microphone with those raucous tones.

061: Art for your sake

Art for your sake, originally uploaded by gingerpig2000.

Jump for Mikey etc.

Jump? After fifteen years of arthritis the chance of leaving the ground all together is a feat in itself, a real jump is about impossible. But, hey, who said that you have to jump with your legs, that's just plain limbist! However, the truth is that the few practice jumps I did make scared my cat.

The image required a quote, but rather than follow the Craft route and find someone else's, I decided to use the Art approach and devise my own. After all, that is supposed to be the purpose of this exercise! I had an idea about what I wanted to say, but it took some effort to get the same form to fit both - such as using the same verb - in order that both are treated equally, at least from the language point of view.
