I started a “365” project yesterday. The idea is that you take a photo every single day for a year, and at the end of the year you can look back over the year, and have a record of highs and lows, and changes. You also should improve your photography by taking photos every day! […]

I’ve been taking some random still life photos this evening, and I couldn’t resist posting this one here. [EDIT: This photo has been lost to the mists of time! It was on flickr, but I can’t find a local copy anymore!!]

Phew, what a week. Absolutely manic at work at the moment (which is a good thing really – better than having no work), and No. 2 son has been an absolute tinker recently. Here’s when he’s woken up and required some intervention (milk/water/change/snuggle): Mon: 04:30 Tue: 02:00 Wed: 02:00 Thu: 06:50 (hooray!) Fri: 00:00 Sat: […]

Right, have tidied up my ‘Links’ section over there to the left. Now they are all fine and dandy and up to date. I’ve introduced a new “Photography” bit, ‘cos that’s what I’m into most at the mo, and culled some of the old “friends” links, and added some new ones. If I know you […]

Was taking some photos of number 2 son at the weekend. I finally got around to uploading them onto the computer, and realised I need to do a bit of post-processing. While I was sharpening the image, I spotted me taking the photo reflected in his eyes: I’m wearing a red shirt, and you can […]

Actually they’re not problems – Mr T. is just cutting his first tooth, and is being a star about the whole affair. He’s been unsettled for the past few nights, and dribbling loads, but we’d just put it down to general baby stuff. He was pretty upset this evening, but I think that was down […]

As you may recall, towards the back end of last year I had a play around with the focusing screen of my SLR. Specifically I ordered a split image microprism focusing screen as a replacement for what I believed to be a scratched normal screen. 6 months on, and I’ve just switched back to the […]

I have been randomly looking back over my blog, and settled on 2004 for no particular reason. It’s like it was written by a different person! I don’t mean in terms of personality, but I talk about doing things I have almost no recollection of. It’s a very strange experience to read a review that […]

As promised…

Another little review of my progress, seeing as we’re now into April. What’s actually spurred this post is that I weighed myself this morning, plus I started climbing again this week, AND I’m about to cook a new dish, so I’m feeling preeety chipper. One humorous moment first. Was cycling home from work in my […]
