In case anyone was wondering what the warped effect is- this was shot through the car windscreen in the pouring rain. I am extremely pleased with it. It is very close to how i visualised it whilst sat in the car waiting for the shot to happen. I hope i've caught something of the feel of a Nixter image whilst also creating something that has my own stamp on it. I think it goes without saying that Nixter is a huge influence on my stuff and has long been in my favourites. The title is borrowed from a short story by Angela Slatter.
