Categorization bug in WordPress
Published in
I’ve been using WordPress for years and in the main, it’s a fantastic piece of collaborative software.

Niels and the Showgirl
Published in
An unplanned shot, taken of volunteer Niels for the One Frame Movie set of photographs I was working on a few weeks back.
A greengrocer selling her wares at the side of the road starts throwing cabbages at a father and son standing at her stall without bicycles but wearing cycling helmets. A carriage full of train passengers passed out in their seats at the severe smell of rotten eggs pervading from the toilet. A glazier, attending to…
