I've taken everything on all the sites I had and put it on my newly-moved Squarespace site at www.timeintolight.com. I'll leave this up for a while but the posts worth preserving from here are there now (thank you, Squarespace automatic blog importer), and there's one explaining why and how I moved. So if anyone's still checking this after such a long period of neglect, thanks for looking and

The most recent album I've put on Flickr, from my trip to Scotland in December.http://www.flickr.com/photos/24291842@N04/sets/72157623073282195/ will get you to the previous trip's album.(Posting partly to stop my blog being considered a 'dinosaur' in my newsreader...)

The Big Picture is almost always a joy to visit (when you've looked at this post, check out the one about Holi, the colour festival, and today's special edition about the eruption of the underwater volcano near Tonga), but the Robots post deserves special mention. Truly, we are Living In The Future...

Thought I'd change the name of the blog and restrict the bad puns to the content. Also my recent Tweets are now in the sidebar.Next: actual content!

Really nothing to see here either, unless you're excited by the idea that I can post to this page by emailing a message to a secret address...

After too long, "Sick" finally has its first European screening at the Lille Short Film Festival in March. It's showing in a programme with six other shorts which will be screened three times over the week of the 21st-28th (Easter week). The Sick People will be going to the final showing on Friday 28th, so I'll be taking the Eurostar for the 1 hour 25 minute journey from St. Pancras International

After a drought, two new films in a month: we showed Justin Trefgarne's "LIFE:XP" to cast, crew, friends and employers on Tuesday at the Soho Hotel.We shot on Fuji 250T stock, mostly pushed 1 stop (processing at Deluxe) with an ARRICAM from ARRI Media and a set of Cooke S4 lenses. ARRI Lighting supplied a generous package, and I had a terrific camera and electrical crew over the five days of the

After some time, the short film I shot for Mike Rymer is finally finished. It's about to go out into the world of film festivals, so until it's had a proper life there, we can't show it online. However the trailer is at Myspace and it will open if you click on the link below.We shot on Kodak 200T stock, pushed to 400 for the night interiors and exteriors, on a very generous Panavision camera

Dana Wilson, the very talented stills photographer who took the on-set material for my two most recent shorts - "Sick" and "Life XP" - has left the UK for Africa, where she has started a Blog which makes this one seem trivial, actually...Please go and visit it - she can write, too!

(This originally went out on the Cinematography Mailing List (http://www.cinematography.net) but since I haven't put anything on here for a couple of weeks I thought I'd share it with the wider world...)Just wanted to share a few notes from the BSC Equipment Show today at Elstree Studios. Overall, I think a much more optimistic gathering than last year, and apparently very well attended, but the

Crispin Whittell, for whom I shot "Hot Dog", has a new play coming to the Hampstead Theatre. It's a follow-up to his show "Darwin In Malibu", which was terrific, and is a comedy about Richard Feynman and the Manhattan Project. So really it should be about physics, but if anyone can make that accessible to a non-scientific audience, it's Crispin. He's directing it too, and I might be biased but

I never got to Tate Modern while it was possible to walk around "Embankment", the Rachel Whiteread installation of plastic boxes, but I managed to visit in time for the 'de-installation' (today and on-going, I should say), and I can't believe the event itself was better than watching it being destroyed.First of all, the giant crane in the Turbine Hall still works! I don't know why I find this
