May I present to you the worlds first microwave letterbox. / Apparently this cutting edge technology is only available to the good residents of Plainlands, Queensland Australia.
Watch out or it might melt on you
skelly puppy in a microwave ooooopppss
This is my cat Mini exploring life on top of the microwave in my new apartment.
Yes, and it still works! The perfect travel companion for any occasion. 33% Beast, 42% Alien, 11% Radio active and 56% game machine making it 100% complete for endless hours of eyetone game play. This handy pure playable microwaved state of the fart device only needs a regular washing twice a day to avoid handheld apllaince odor and a bad attitude.
Nothing says hold me, play me like a Sega Nomad that has had an overdose of Microwave Madness Mayhem and been back to tell the tale from beyond the gamer’s grave. This portable creepy crawly bulky handheld is like no other because if you loose a game on this mutant, it may be your last game to loose. 35% Wildebeest, 18% handheld, 2% Obsolete with a half a percent of nolstagia, and 61% Zombified Alien makes it truly 100% complete and 100% truly playable Eyetone touch gameplay unlike it’s earlier cousin. Remember, it’s watching how you play, don’t disappoint the Microwaved Mutant Sega Nomad. The Youtube video will be up in the next 48 hours to show me playing this microwaved mutant so stay tuned and don’t let the Microwave Mutant Handhelds bite tonight.
A bit of fun here. My wife bought one of those “microwave” herbal water bottle type teddies. Anyway I was giving it a go at the weekend and I could not help feeling a complete and utter b**d watching the sad-looking teddy go around and around in the microwave. I know it was a only a teddy….but I’m a real animal person so I felt EVIL doing it. So I decided to have a play with the concept. I found an old microwave and hijacked the kitchen one afternoon. I have tried to get everything as miserable and as grubby looking as I can…..just to add to the “cruelty” factor. Please Note* No real animals were hurt while creating this piece of artwork :D Hope you like it. All constructive critique welcome

The Microwavemen have showed us how to harness the awesome force of microwaved lightbulb energy and vex then into magnetron forth state of matter plasma beams. You don’t stand a chance of COOstroying our nearby village cruel Intergalactic dOve Invaders to lay your dOvepups by the ca’billions. With this, you will not force us to obey the dOvemaster.
Remember Humans, microwaving lightbulbs is the breakfast of Champions. This message brought to you and approved by the Grand Emperor o-self of Planet Magnetron, the Vastly Superior Icrowaver.
This is one of my most favourite urbex locations, and quite a local one for me… The haphazardly stacked relay dishes make for some incredible compositional opportunities as well as the chance to clamber all over everything. Stenigot looks different from moment to moment, with lighting and weather conditions often changing in the blink of an eye – I could not have asked for a more dramatic or stormy sky! NATO’s ACE HIGH network, which had relay points covering from Norway to Turkey, and England to Germany – in other words the whole of Europe – was only decomissioned in the 1980s, with advances in military satellite communications technology. The part of the microwave frequency spectrum it used now carries much of the World’s mobile phone traffic instead…
One last shot of the ACE HIGH array at Stenigot. The dishes dont look particularly big, until you climb on top of them and the concavity / huge open sky just hits you. Of the four, just one seems to have been reserved for graffiti and tagging. It struck me as satisfyingly ironic that a facility, which for years relayed microwave communications traffic across the troposhere, is now sending out quite a different message into the sky. Though quite what any otherwordly visitors might make of the words ‘suck my nips’ remains to be seen…

Rather than talk about what I did, I’ll talk about what made me do something: “I’m crushed by the absence of you I’m tired of emotions / They bare me with distortions / They cut me / Screaming “Fuck me” / Wipe them all away now / Let me see through eyes made of stone” I’ve changed one word in these lyrics. Apologies to Front 242. I may try something different. Caesar supposedly said “the eyes of a statue should not see” and I’m kind of looking for that. This is one of those weird moments when I’m not driven by aesthetics, but am trying to take words that caught me and make them into an image. Fairly rare for me. I suppose, if you’re interested, an Olympus E510, 14-45 at 14 (And I’m saving for a 12-60 f2.8 since my girlfriend wont buy me one. She makes more money than me, so you’d think she’d WANT to, but females are strange.) Solotron 1000 ws Brown line strobes, silvered umbrellas Mary Poppins would lust after and the white balance fucked with in Studio 2 to make it look like I used glowing tungsten. I dealt with it as a 16 bit Tiff for some reason, then the rest handled with CS3, which is so good I could get religion. (Ok, I lie, you couldn’t pay me to believe in nothing.) Tiffen DFX to vignette and Re-Lit to blow out the highlights.
The barrenness of this image reminds me of the Moon or Mars—not that I’ve been there, of course.

The reflections are caught off the glass front of this stainless steel microwave, with the focus on the elements in the reflection rather than the microwave. The background captures a curtained window and a another window to the outdoors, with various objects (i.e. the hanging plant) on the inside.

This shot was made like a year ago, during the “break in” into the almost-demolished buildings. Which are old 5-storey flat blocks, built at the times of the Soviet Era. Now, they put them down, people who lived in them get some days to pack all their stuff and leave. the local criminals open the doors to look for stuff thats left behind. And nosy photographers like myself, pop in to look at the life of different rooms of these ghost houses. / Nothing specific here…just a lil kitchen mess and i like the stuff i did to it. Looks quite welcoming, warm and cute! FEATURED!!! In “Images & Ideas” group!
Water drops on a CD, been done a million times but not by me :) Zapped the cd to get the cracked affect. I took this for the Playing With CD’s & Water challenge. / / Canon EOS Rebel T1i / Sigma DG Macro 50mm lens / / / / Featured in the Domestic Art group on Nov. 18, 2009 / / Featured in the Macro Water Photographic Gallery group on Nov. 20, 2009 /
Obviously too much time on my hands …and a sense of curiosity. I don’t think the DVD will be playable ..thankfully the microwave is still usable! Artistic influence – the sale of “Burn Baby Burn” Fridge Magnet on Zazzle ….10.12.09. (see my journal)
