Proms:

Just finished the last of the school proms at work. Working alongside a professional photographer, we have been taking and speed-editing hundreds of photo's for next day availability. Been pretty manic but really enjoyed it. Here's a photo I took of some happy chappy's in a some sort of party bus. Also managed to grab a shot of the fleet at 5 in the morn on the way home after a prom at Portland Sailing Academy.

No more straw:

Broke my teeth about two weeks ago now

Took a trip to Ladram Bay the other day and it was actually awesome. There's like seven or eight stacks in total which all used to be caves and arches that have since collapsed.

Haggered:

My current pair of Emerica Francis's photographed after every skate since I bought them. This has taken way too long to put together as I dont skate as much as I should do these days. Wanted to carry this on longer too but they're pretty much dead now. Cant see it in the video but I'm through to sock on the right sole. Hoorah! Fresh shoes in the post!
