My Blog

Since being hit by a car and having my life temporarily derailed I've started writing a new blog...

mediaecologies.wordpress.com/

There's a few book reviews, a few plugs for events and some general thoughts on life, politics ecology and stuff... Please have a look and any feedback that you have would be very welcome.

It's been six months to the day since the accident... Hopefully I'll be walking again within a month or two.

Now I have to confess to being quite partial to old black and white photgraph's... they have what Walter Benjamin descibed as an aura around them - they're something special, something unique, something which 70 years ago was a treasured memory rather than a throwaway moment among 250 other captured on digital...
