Into 2011 armed with a new camera, and some determination to do something a bit different to everyone elseHey guys, long story short, I've been making rather crap videos for the last couple of years, reason being, a bad leg and being on crutches. I've wanted to take my video and photography work to the next level for a while, but haven't really been able to, hence the half arsed looking work I've been producing.
A bit of saving up has now enabled me to get my hands on a snazzy new camera, and my leg is currently recovering from its final operation, check out the grim pics for a vague idea, I had it fused in the end if anyone wants to know!

So, in light of this, for 2011 I'm going to be spending a lot of time upping the professionalism in my work, and I'd like to keep this account (OllyJ) for my more personal stuff, y'know, snaps of mates doing stupid shit, mini video clips, general banterous behaviour on forums, posting "OMG 1st POST" on cool photos etc, so, I've created a new account for all my new work, photo and video, I would really appreciate it if you could add me as a friend on that account (link below), to save me the time of going through everyone on my OllyJ friends list and re-adding, which is irritating for everyone, especially if you're not that interested in my work!
Heres the account, my leg is out of its current 'boot' thing in about 3 weeks, so expect videos soon after, Cheers if you read this, Olly

Long story, but I smashed it up 2 1/2 years ago (august 18th '0
and the first surgeon who was dealing with it was an arrogant knob and f*cked everything up royally, so I've had a lot done to it to try and save the joint. I also had a graft from my shoulder to my ankle to cover a bone deep hole I got from said first surgeon not treating the infection i got from surgery properly. So essentially, its finally all healed up after 10 operations, two correctional frames, a plate, 12 screws, four skin grafts, a free flap graft and over 80 stitches. Now left with a fused ankle
