Now that Flickr has shut me down AGAIN I've decided to focus on my videos more than pictures for a bit and have started to make censored ones to reach more people.
I should be able to get about 40 more of these done when I find all of the right music. I have around 150 hours of footage sitting in a suitcase waiting. I'm ranting, as I do...
