I’m giving you fair warning, this will probably be the least interesting blog post you will read all year, if I don’t write something soon though there’s a real danger of cobwebs forming over these pages! Even the photos are of boring things (although I kinda like photos of boring things).
It’s been raining a lot lately, hasn’t it. Every day this month actually. Every day since they declared a drought and banned us from using hosepipes. Every. Single. Day. Apart from the days when we’ve had hailstones. On the upside though – the clouds have looked amazing.
Big Plan update – there’s good news in that I have lots and lots of notes and ideas and pointers and scribbles and post-it notes and doodles, the bad news is that I’ve realised it’s going to involve a LOT of hard work to pull it all together – this quiet interlude is me retreating for a big run-up. Or maybe I’ll just keep running!
I now have a sort of portfolio on this site! Well, I’ve made a start, anyway – it should work on all browsers (even IE6 – imagine my surprise), all devices and any size screen – I like to be inclusive if nothing else!
I honeslty can’t think of anything else to say. I’m stuck.
I think I need to do this.
All photos taken with Pentax K1000 and Kodak Ektar 100 35mm film

25 April 2012 at 22:40Do you still get milk in glass bottles? That is so fantastic. I love it!

27 April 2012 at 21:29Yes, we get milk in glass bottles! Is that unbelievably old-fashioned and quaint?

26 April 2012 at 08:47Boring-smoring! You, your pictures, your words could never be boring. In fact, quite the opposite: that picture of the milk bottles is a clasic, especially with those lovely soft pastel colors. And the other two, to me, are just incredibly romantic. So there! Going off to snoop at your portfolio now.

27 April 2012 at 21:32To be honest, I sometimes find it easier (and more creative) to take photos of ‘boring’ things – when I’m confronted with something spectacular (like when I went to the Lake District) I get a bit over-awed and struggle a bit to do juctice to what I’m seeing!

26 April 2012 at 08:59The portfolios are to die for. I love seeing your beach polaroids all together in a set. The book is out… when?
Angie
27 April 2012 at 21:33Thanks, lovely No book though!

Far from the most boring blog post I have read. That one was on Petapixel and it was about how to tell which way up a USB plug goes. You have a way to go to beat that.
Your milk bottle picture is lovely.

27 April 2012 at 21:36Looking back on this I can see how it looks like I was fishing for compliments (especially as everyone has been so nice)! It wasn’t exactly the most insightful of blog entries though
(Everyone knows you just shove the USB into the hole and flip it over if it doesn’t make it in on the third try, don’t they)?
