Macro Photography 31/07/08
Using a 105mm f/2.8G Nikon with vibration reduction to be exact. A toy to got nearing the end of my degree at Brunel but until recently I haven’t found the time to fully test it out. The Macro lens is slowly opening up a new world of detail within the natural and man-made world and is great fun especially as the weather has been so bright recently. Please feel free to take a look at a selection of my recent work with it if you have a phobia of needles id suggest proceeding to my flickr with care.

This 4 year course included a year studying at San Francisco State University.
A photo-gallery of the planning and preparation for the Brunel 2008 show is being created alongside a time-lapse of the show build. It should demonstrate that the show was truly student driven. A full list of the teams that worked on the show can be found here.
Made In Brunel - 08 12/06/2008
The Design Show has come to an end and has been judged a great success. During the show, considerable interest was expressed in my major project, which had secured a patent just 2 weeks previously.
This project aims to find an alternative to current vaccination hardware which cannot be re-used. The objective is to reduce the spread of blood born pathogens such as HIV due to the re-use of presently available needles and syringes. The commercial viability and cultural acceptance of such newly developed vaccination units within South Africa is a crucial consideration of this project.
We are currently looking for investors and specialists in the field to help progress the project to the next stage. If you would like to be involved in the project please contact me.
More information in my involvement in student design shows can be found here.
