Maneki Neko / Beckoning cat
The Maneki Neko (招き猫, literally "Beckoning Cat"; also known as Welcoming Cat, Lucky Cat, Cat Swipe, Money cat, or Fortune Cat; sometimes incorrectly labeled Chinese Lucky Cat) is a common Japanese sculpture, often made of ceramic, which is believed to bring good luck to the owner.

Extractor fan HD: The revisiting
In 2009 I uploaded a video shot with a Canon Powershot G7 of an extractor fan on a school in Streatham, London.
This is a short test video of the same subject made with a Canon EOS 550D with an EF 50mm f/1.4 USM lens. I know I'm not pushing the creative envelope here, but I happened to be walking past the same spot and it seemed as good a time as any to begin practising with the new camera / lens combo.
As of writing this, the original video has been viewed nearly 4,300 times on YouTube, which I just can't explain!

Doughnut
No shortage of pastries at the breakfast buffet
Pond
A video note of my friend Elsa's garden pond. I was just a little mesmerised by the sound of the water being pumped from one pool to the other. Very calming!
Windblown plastic
A short video note shot with an iPhone of some old plastic caught on top of a wall.
I slowed the playback speed to about 30%, double-tracked the sound and added a bit of echo and reverb. The result is quite eerie.

Burning cigarettes
This is a short video note of the ashtray outside the building where I work. It was smoking away and I thought it would catch fire soon enough.

Theatre of wait
Waiting at the level crossing by Mitcham Eastfields station. Not much happens; three people appear briefly and a commuter train goes by...
Flashing Las Vegas sign
I bought this lighter on a road trip to Nevada, Arizona and Utah. I love the flashy lights, and it makes fire too
Big drill
Stopped at traffic lights waiting to cross Blackfriars Bridge, listening to In Our Time on BBC Radio 4
