Travel by Train
A little play at lunch based on a graphic I did last year for Bored of Southsea that was taken from a popular travel poster from the 50s.

At The Track – Strong Island Summer 11
Last month we embarked on our first Strong Island photo shoot for our new Summer tee shirt colourway, red. Now, I say photo shoot, it was more like just going out and having a laugh with mates. No pro set ups. Just a 35mm camera, a little point & shoot, 2 willing participants in Alanna Smith and Pete Miles, lovely weather and some unique locations. The new tee is simply a reverse of the Winter tee with the logo on the back and the anchor logo on the front. This seasons must have, obviously….
First up is the disused Greyhound Stadium in Tipner on Target Road. A very well known location, even if you don’t know how to get there and have only seen it from the M275. Now in complete disarray the track offers some amazing photographic opportunities and is full of character behind all the smashed glass and burned out rooms.

On The Solent – Strong Island Summer 11
Last month we embarked on our first Strong Island photo shoot for our new Summer tee shirt colourway, red. Now, I say photo shoot, it was more like just going out and having a laugh with mates.

The new tee is simply a reverse of the Winter tee with the logo on the back and the anchor logo on the front. This seasons must have, obviously….
After visiting the Greyhound Stadium we headed to The Bridge Tavern for a few beers whilst we waited for Ben Mills to come and pick us up and take our small crew out in to The Solent. I’ve always wanted to go and get up close to the forts and buoys and the fact that both Alanna and Pete were up for a bit of ‘off boat’ photography made for a great shoot.

D U R T Y 4 5 returns to Little Johnny Russells for another off the hook party in aid of NO MORE DURTY WATER. No More Durty Water is a campaign to help provide safe and abundant water for the people of the world. Clean water is a basic human right and it is essential for the health of our species.
This year we are working closely with Bridge Of Hope Children’s Ministry to fund water based projects for a Children’s village in Uganda. We already raised £1,500 towards two 5,000 litre rainwater harvesters for the 2 children’s bungalows. We need another £700 to complete and install the two tanks. Then the water will need to be tested, and the community trained to make sure the water remains safe. So we are asking the Southsea Village to come together again to finish this project.
Come along and listen to tunes you grew up with, wish you had and will always love. This is about great music, not guilty pleasures. Expect a party extravaganza with a soundtrack to rival most. Deejays Macaco Do Paolo & Che Sirena de Niebla play the finest selection of vinyl 45s. With special guest Ms Mono (Big Chill Bar)
Entry Fee is a Donation on the door and you will be able to show your support, by buying DURTY 45 BUS & NO MORE DURTY WATER t shirts, badges & stickers, plus there will be a raffle. Come along.

Your Twenty Four No.02 : Tristan Savage
Continuing the Your Twenty Four series my day started with streams of beautiful sunlight coming in through the dining room window. The perfect morning to accompany my regular 8 mile commute to work through Southsea and out along the Eastern Road. A relatively relaxed day at work was nicely broken up with a ride to The Royal Oak pub on Langstone Harbour and then a short jaunt back in to Southsea to the Portsmouth Fish Market and Eastney Marina. After finishing work I went straight to the Art & Design Degree Show at The Eldon Building. I was a bit pushed for time so I only got to hang out at my old course Communication Design and meet friends/tutors new and old, as well as sink a few beers of course. Congratulations to Mikey, Brendon, Jenna & all the graduates. A lot of goodbyes later I stopped home briefly to pick up Liz and head on down to The Belle Isle for their opening party. Huge thanks to all the guys and gals involved. We’ll be doing a little feature on The Belle Isle soon. After last orders we got dropped of on Albert Road and took advantage of another hours bar time at LJR before heading home. Phew… check the full 24 Photo Edit HERE and the full 24 Hour Edit HERE.
We are looking for contributions for future Y24 posts so if you are up for documenting your day please get in contact.
Keeping out of the pub!
Me and Andy went on a short bike ride this afternoon in a vain attempt to keep out of the pub and work off our hangovers. It was pretty fresh out to say the least and although it felt like it was doing us good our bodies were really crying for a hair of the dog. Needless to say we failed, but at least we did something instead of stewing on the sofa. Now off to DJ Format. Coming?
A few more random snaps from today are over on my Flickr.
