Birthday for Great London Nan 2000

Great London Nanny on her birthday – shot in March 2000, I can’t for the life of me remember where this was taken, it was some hall we annually booked for such a great occasion – comments please – fill in the gaps on ones fickle memory.

Muddy Waters

Even the wisest of photographers occasionally overlook the deceivingly deep mud present across The Wash’s shore lines (Snettisham Beach), could it be the calling of an imminent sunset, or perhaps a distant seal? – No, at the time it was simply a test to see how firm the mud was – the results are quite visible.  Photographs from the visibly muddy artist can be found here

Potterings

Potterings! My graphic morph from 2011. Potterings!? …And so Rum, Hairy, and Hemeriods found themselves confronting dangerous wizards, dark magic, and the evil guidance councillor Lord Vomit….will they survive? Quite frankly I don’t care.

Woodsy’s Got Guns

Woodsy’s Got Guns, Lots of Guns. My graphic morph from 2011. After taking the Red Pill I found myself disconnected from the mainframe, no longer inside the doorless prison, but like a splinter in my mind driving me mad I was faced with a greater challenge - Dvd or Blu-Ray.

Snettisham Sunset 2002

Norfolk offers truely endless skies. Taken at Snettisham beach with its magnificant aquamarine red sunsets, my favourite time on my favourite beach in the world.

Digital SLR upgrade.

There comes a time in life when one must upgrade, often this occurs when faced with challenge or struggle; the time has to abandon my chosen vessel and go in search for something new, something that does not shy away from dynamic range, a body that provides greater clarity and a sensor that can truly capture the depths of my imagination. A wise man is playing with the Nikon D700 and fortunately has a Fuji S5pro for trial. The posts that follow are some early test shots with said camera, the initial steps to a new DSLR camera.

Death of Facebook

laying facebook to restDeath of Facebook. Facebook is so deeply imprinted into out psychology, and to many its no longer regarded as a social network web site but more an extension (or more aptly) a replacement to our social interaction. Gone are the face-to-face conversations about interests, news and gossip, instead a towering mass of status updates, of ‘Likes’, and anti-social self-depressing banal “chat”, most of which is never conveyed verbally given the chance.

 Many people have asked me why I have left Facebook, my answer to them is that in truth there is no why, I made a choice, I simply saw it as unsubscribing to an unwanted web service and nothing more - but this in itself is highly liberating because, as mentioned earlier, Facebook is no longer a web service, its became (or taken over) part of our lives - our ability to socialise, to talk.

 For those who wish to enjoy any news, comments, pictures or discussion I encounter on my web travels, these all shall now be posted here - my personal bit of space.
