Old Gold Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Absolutely smashing photographs Mr Officer. I especially like the snowy shed. Mr America's graduation is also a personal pleasure.Everyone must have something magical stowed on their mobile phone at least. Share the love!

HeinzHines Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Here is a collection of phone photos from my 2009.On tour with Mogwai, I think this is in Toulouse. Took me forever to get this shot on my phone, but really love the over exposed madness. A longer story behind this one that I can't be bothered explaining.The best backstage area I have ever seen.Schiphol airport Lego, I think it is a nice photo, of no relevance.Nice photo of a bridge.Being cooked for by some real life mafia, photo taken on the sly.Going to Thomann's actual store in the middle of fucking nowhere! Was incredible though, really wish I had taken some proper photos.Another photo with a longer story attached, but I think it looks good anyway.Finally a bridge in Koln, that had padlocks all along it that people use to propose to people or just declare their love for one another. It is quite an incredible sight.I had an incredibly fun year, but 2010 already promises so much more. It really is fun being alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsby Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 OK, bit of a long story with this one, bear with me.In 1993, one of my best mates who was in my first band with me, went off to Glastonbury. We were 15. The Wedneday after Glastonbury he comes running into school holding the new NME. He shows me the cover."Funny cover". I tell him."That's me." he tells me. Sure enough, when I look closer, I see that my 15 year old mate is indeed the star of the front cover of the NME, and with a bird on top of him no less. As you can imagine, this was just the coolest thing ever.Fast forward 16 years. My mate's a "rolling stone" kind of character and we've lost contact after he left school. My mum asks me to go around to her house and clear out all my old crap. While there, I stumble across the NME cover, which I had completely forgotten about.Thinking that I need to get this to my mate (as I say, he leads a nomadic exsitance and I'm certain he never kept a copy), I put a few feelers out but nobody knows where he is. Last time we heard he was living in London, but somebody thinks he went to Australia.Fast forward a few months. By this time I've moved to Edinburgh, I'm married with a kid so I hardly ever go out to pubs and the like, but my old pal Emma Forman asks me to sit in with her at her gig in a pub called the Morningside Glory. Never heard of it, never been in it and it's on the opposite side of town, but what the hell, sounds like fun.I'm playing a song with Emma and the chef walks out of the kitchen and through the bar. I do a double take. He does a double take. It's my old mate, who I haven't seen for years. He moved to Edinburgh the week before and started working in this bar that I'd never been in in my life.The next week we meet up for a beer and I present him with a framed copy of his NME cover, which he tells me he has been looking for for years.So my favourite photo of the year is this one. What are the odds? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
