Finally, something funny on the old Television... almost!

A friend recently gave me a phone number and told me the guy wanted a website... 'the usual' I thought, but no, not quite!

Not only does this guy have the same name as me (John McFarlane) he has spent all his savings on shooting a half hour episode of a script that he wrote called 'The Honkys'. The show was shot in Brooklyn, New York and brought home and edited in the UK. After a brief introduction, I was put in charge of 'everything web and graphics related' on a volunteer basis untill we get some sponsorship.

Photography

I love photography. It sooths my mind. It can also be really good fun if there are other people involved in the process. Above you can see my latest photos on Flickr.
