Camera's are great aren't they? I'm itching to purchase a new SLR camera to fulfill my photographic needs. Now that Summer's approaching, I'm looking forward to getting out there and taking some shots of nature without freezing my bits off!

Bulletproof (no, not the La Roux song!)

Wow it's been a while since my last post here, hasn't it?

This will be a great opportunity to contribute working on live briefs for big clients and learn much from the experience of the seasoned pros. Good times!

It's a simple and unique looking logo inspired largely by the way bus routes appear on the map. I'll upload the result in the next couple of days...
