Glad I accepted the invite from Jason and Tom to attend their in-store event. After some free beer and pizza, Luke introduced Jordan from Tough Luck, an Instagram account spotlighting up-and-coming youth culture photographers. He interviewed Glasgow photographer Selina Paton (@glesgaonfilm). I ended up sat next to Selina’s Dad for that part!

A book entitled Tough Luck: You out tonight? is out now on Velocity Press. I got a lovely sense of enthusiasm for clubs and club culture from the guests, and enjoyed their analogy about film versus digital photography being a bit like vinyl versus digital audio – it’s just different and you can’t recreate the feel retrospectively.

Aside from Tom and Jason it was also nice to see and chat to folks like Lydia (and her friendly crew of edgelord neighbours), Dom C and Hayley.

In case I need more stock photography than I currently get from Unsplash, this Github-hosted list could be useful.

Aside from photography it also lists resources for free illustrations, video, CSS background tiles and more.

Over 8,400 NASA Apollo moon mission photos, online, in high-resolution.

The internet’s source of freely usable images. Powered by creators everywhere.

I’ve seen a couple of other developers use photos from Unsplash in their demos, and it just came in handy for me recently when needing some free food photography for a website.

It’s choc-full of lovely – and free – high-res photographs, offers a simple URL-based pattern for embedding, and has an API so will be really useful.
