It goes without saying that a meal from McDonalds is an experience in itself. Some of us are fans, others tend to stay away, but like it or not, almost everyone has been to the fabled golden arches.

The New York Times published a brilliant editorial shot by Nolan Conway that highlights the myriad of faces and sometimes dogs that visit McDonalds.

Bit of a latestagram, went for lunch with friends today to Cafe Delice on Kensington Gardens. It was an average full English I would say. Sausage was good which is what usually lets down cheaper breakfast. Three rashers of bacon which is always welcome. The yoke of the egg was solid but I guess that was a one off. The beans where mixed with the Mushrooms, if I want my food mixed I will do it myself thank you. Also the beens where trying to posh, they where not as sweet as good old Heinz baked beans. Nice breakfast but trying to be to posh for it’s own good.

Check out more of my full english shots in my Full English Flickr set. I’m @lomokev on Instagram by the way.

The Springs Fire is reflected on wet sand at the beach near the the Pacific Coast Highway and north of the Ventura County Line on May 2. The wind-driven wildfire raging along the California coast north of Los Angeles prompted the evacuation of hundreds of homes and a university campus on Thursday as flames engulfed several farm buildings and recreational vehicles near threatened neighborhoods.

Photographer Jim Mortram is raising funds to enable David to read again after being blinded in an accident two years ago. If you want to donate you can here: http://hopemob.org/s/1j0-postcards-from-the-black-audio-scanner-for-david

Postcards from the black : HopeMob : Fundraiser for David (by J A Mortram)

Jim Mortram:

I’ve been documenting David since he was blinded as a result of a freak bicycling accident 2 years ago. Before the accident robbed him of his sight (David is 100% blind, zero light perception) he was an avid collector of books and an avid reader. His rooms are filled with books gathering dust, their pages filled with adventures, lives, stories and descriptions of visions and vistas that David is unable to now experience.

Together we can raise the money required to purchase a SARA - Scanning and reading appliance; a device designed solely for those affected with blindness and one able to be used right of of the box. The SARA will allow David to place his books or any other printed material upon it and then convert the printed text to audio that David will be able to hear. From being unable to read to able to read any printed material in 5 minutes.

I’ve searched for months for such a piece of apparatus. Not only will it give David the opportunity to experience again the joys of reading, using words to create sights and sensations within his own imagination he’ll also be able to re-integrate himself within the now of the everyday that many of us take for granted. He will be able to read today’s newspaper, read the daily mail delivered to his home.

When all you can see is nothing, when you have no idea if the sun or moon is tall in the sky, when you wake into a world that’s forever black anything that enables a foothold into each day is more than mere entertainment, it’s a lifesaver, a life maker. The SARA scanner will take David from an abyss, a vacuum and give him back to the world and the world back to him.

So please, whilst considering David and his story understand this is so much more than affording David a chance to read books, it’s really us all throwing him a life raft that he can cling to and stay afloat in a life that was truly disabled when his sight was taken.

Full details of the fundraising pitch and how YOU can help and donate are on the Hope Mob site. (If you share or embed this video, please, please include this link (http://hopemob.org/s/1j0-postcards-from-the-black-audio-scanner-for-david) also as it’s how the money is collected!)

Matilda & me 10 second project by lomokev

This is one of my submissions to the 10 second Project, it’s based on Hide and seek. You have to set up two cameras, one for video and on for stills. The stills camera is set with a 10 second timer. The idea is that you run into the frame and hide in plan view like a child would. It made sense for me to of it with my daughter. You can see all my submissions on my blog here. I encourage everyone to have a go at this, read the rules on the 10 second project website.

Check out the video that goes with this image.

David Shrigley has been nominated for the Turner Prize. For the first time in a few years someone who I really like is up for it. Makes the above cartoon quite ironic.

A member of the Vancouver Gun Club takes aim while trap shooting at their facility in Richmond, British Columbia Feb. 10, 2013. Formed in 1924, the shotgun-only club has a regular membership of about 400 and sells an estimated 1100 day passes each year. Canada has very strict laws controlling the use of handguns and violent crime is relatively rare. (Andy Clark/Reuters) (via Guns - The Big Picture - Boston.com)

Brighton Pier montage by lomokev

This montage is part of a larger montage that I shot in Brighton, pretty much none stop for 36 hours. The whole thing was filmed by a film crew for O2’s YouTube channel. You can watch the film and read more about this on my blog here. You can see some of the other images I shot for the montage in this Flickr set.

On the subject of talking photos in Brighton why join m on one of my weekend photo courses?
