Digital photography is great and all, but with the convenience comes the loss of the art of film … art. Also, have you seen the price of a stamp these days?

These three digi mugshots were supplied for an interview with the three friends, snowboard rippers each. Not very exciting.

I put them together as one fake multiple-exposure film shot for the intro spread of the article. I made sure the exposure, contrast and grain looked convincing. I reckon most were convinced. Cat’s out of the bag now.

Level, the print mag, was my baby (also other people’s baby, it’s complicated) and ten years after we killed it (that sounds bad) I got bored of not working on it and gave it an online presence.

Below are V1 and V2.

V1: With some cobbled PHP, the content of left and right columns flipped to older/newer content without affecting the other. (On the right are ads given to friends.)

V2: Still online and closer to a standard blog format with automatic but length-aware extracts and other little tricks.

Both digital versions were built in the raw-design-focussed CMS, Textpattern. No templates.

Turns out I’m not much of an editor. For me, it was more about the challenge of making a good-looking site in the Level brand style. It’s been untouched since 2012. If you want to edit it, send a CV. There’s no money in it, unless you can work out different. Honestly, I’d love to make it work.
