Slit-scan is a photographic process in which a moving slit is placed between the camera and the subject, causing strange stretching and compression effects. Slit-scan was used to create the stretching Starship Enterprise warp effect for Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Bryan Brothers’ Garage Demolition, Bristol, 1999
Going through some old photographs I found these of the Bristol Harbourside circa 1999. The old Bryan Brothers garage was going through demolition and in its place would be new urban housing.

Making Sandcastles
For the last few years there has been an exhibition of sand sculptures on the beach at Weston-super-Mare. To call them sandcastles is a bit of a misnomer as these are truly remarkable sculptures and the artists have spent hours and days carving the compacted sand.
We have been most years and I bring my camera to capture the sculptures, here are some photographs of this year’s carvings.
See more photographs of sand sculptures on my Flickr set.
