soo... can i have your url? seeing as you never use it..

Asked by mrmcqueen

It all seems a bit chancey, someone else might grab it if I let it go and besides, I’ve had it since 07 and Dale McCready Cinematography still has use for it thanks. Also it’s not a competition but you seem to be managing fine without it.

New Year, New Choices

It’s been an interesting new year so far with the end of my current job “Silk” on the Arri Alexa camera, reaching a personal milestone and deciding to form a company here in the UK for my business. Personally I’ve found it hard to maintain any closeness with my friends and have ended up just having to focus more on work until such time as I’m able to knit myself back into my London social group. It doesn’t help that I spend long hours working and any time off I try to spend quietly recovering. Some of my favourite people also have children now and it’s hard not to drift away from them when they’re just so busy and don’t seem to consider a single person such an equal anymore.

But regardless of all that boring griping, life is terrific and filled with as much promise as ever. There are more places to see, new skills to learn, new songs to play and listen to and I’m even planning some track day training on my motorbike. Brilliant. If I can top the year off with a movie to shoot and a love to grow into then it could be the best yet. Oh and I might finally have that photographic exhibition that I’d been meaning to for so long.

thedailywhat: Help Wanted of the Day: 89-year-old Aaron Biber has been cutting hair in Tottenham for decades. Last year, Aaron lost his wife. This year, he lost his business. Rioters ransacked his barbershop, smashed windows, and stole hairdryers. “I will probably have to close because I haven’t got insurance and I can’t afford the repairs,” Aaron says. “Not so fast,” responds the Internet. A website has been launched to help Aaron fix his shop. So far nearly £17,000 have been donated. [kac.]
