Miffed

The other cameras have been making a fuss as I keep mooning over my new addition and ignoring them. The Hasselbladski was especially miffed when prints cam back from the lab and I only feigned the tiniest bit of…

Peek-a-boo!

Here I am! Oh, boy – I have been having lots of fun with new camera. Just getting the feel of it right now but I am loving what’s emerging from those little compact flash cards! I’ve just been…

Canon EOS 5D Mark II. All mine.

I made a pretty-immensly-hugely-excitingly-expensive purchase a couple of days ago, and this was the first shot I took with it… Oh my god, I still can’t believe it’s mine! Perfect timing too as the very next day I met…

Just a coupla pics

Any excuse

‘Roid Week has been so much fun – it’s always nice to have an excuse to shoot Polaroids (I don’t need much of one, mind you). Here’s just some of the fab ones I spotted over the week… 1.…

Don’t stop believing

Having an opinion, I am discovering, is a draining and ultimately disappointing experience. (I got to bed at 4am last night). The UK election has ended up with no overall majority and rather than the people deciding, it’s once…

A little bit of politics

There’s so much I could say today, so many thoughts are trying to articulate themselves. Today is the day the UK votes for a new government – I really hope it makes the right decision. I’ve never known it…
