First up apologies for not updating this thing for a month, I had the folks over for a week and didn’t update it then, after that there was some other reason I didn’t do it, next thing I knew a full month had passed. It’s it’s not through lack of photos either, I’ve been pretty […]

The devil makes work for idle hands. At least he did last Friday night when I was home alone with a camera and a tripod. Yes, it was time for Simon to do some experimenting. With Photoshop. Now, I’m not much of a Photoshopper, I use Lightroom for my image editing which basically consists of […]

Now, if you’re one of my regular readers (dad, ?, …….) you’ll have been waiting with feverish excitement these last 6 days, on the edge of your seat dreaming up what this mini-project mystery I promised last week could possibly be.

As I was poking round Stanstead airport waiting for my flight to Genoa (or Genova if you’re Italian – why do countries feel the need to change the names of cities in other countries?)

I received an unusual email request recently from a friend in Australia. He wanted me to hunt down and photograph a piece of graffiti which read “You are not how much money you have in the bank” for a project he was doing on profound graffiti works. I had a street name to work with […]

As I’ve not managed to get out there with the camera this week I’ve decided to take up a suggestion (thanks Hebrew Hustle) to document my progression as a budding photographer. This was a particularly welcome suggestion for 2 reasons: 1. I didn’t have to do anything new 2. It allowed me to be a […]

It’s not so much the fact I’m now into my thirties that bothers me, it’s more the fact I’m no longer in my twenties. I know they sound like exactly the same thing, and logically they have to be, but in my mind they’re very different. So, it was with this last hurrah mentality that […]
