The 'difficult' second blog post

Greetings blogfans! Now then, where were we? 


Oh, right, it was last summer. Well, nobody ever said this was going to be easy.


Having let many other things slide for the past six months or so, the new year has given me a bit of a boot up the backside - early spring cleaning resulted in three huge bin bags of stuff and nonsense getting chucked out of my little corner of the flat, and it was during this clear out I discovered a couple of slide films from.....



..... The Summer! And so we have a seamless link to blog post #1, hurrah!


The pic above comes from a ramble around the Box Hill area in Surrey organised by my mate Rich's girlfriend Kate, in honour of his birthday. Hills were rolled down!




Another film that surfaced was my study of trees, sky and clouds from the summer at my parents house. At the fear of being repetitive, there are pics that look like this:




...some look like this:




...but, by and large, most of them look like this:




Anyhoo, I've put together all of these summer snaps in a flikr set, which you can find here.

So what comes after summer? Christmas of course! I took a couple of my lomography cameras to my folks to capture the magic of a family Christmas, including.... Where's Santa?:




... some fine dining!






... and some extreme close-ups of fibre-optic Christmas trees!




Full Christmas pics are here.


Anyway, that was fun, let's do it again some time.  b

A walk home from work

Taking advantage of a rare moment of sunshine this August, I decided to walk home from work today. But not just walk home, oh no. I decided to record this momentous event for posterity by creating a photo diary of the journey.

There were steps descended...

...Presidents saluted....


...and paths trod.

Still with us?  Well if you'd like to experience the photo blog in all its glory, you can find the Flickr album of my amazing Tuesday adventure here:

Be warned, I did get rather snap happy! But not happy slappy. For that would be bad.

I'm hoping that this little project has helped kick-start a more major plan I've wanted to do for a while now - namely, Project Exit Facebook. Well ok, not completely exit the blue marketing monstrosity, but instead reduce my presence to a mere husk, pointing people in the general direction of this blog instead. I'll probably go on about why I loathe facebook so much in a future post, but lets not end the first blog like that :)  Happy walking!   b
