I make no apologies.

I just like this shot. Also, I think it shows another slightly fun side to Linda. Had a great deal of fun shooting these. I guess it helps that they were shot in a Manhattan hotel as opposed to somewhere at or near to home!

There's nothing like a random picture of a giraffe.

Nope, that is pretty unique. God, I need to leave the house soon!

I have so much to do!

Rust Never Sleeps

And rust never sleeps. I have photos to shoot for a project and stuff to arrange for that yet I am dreaming of chips and watching this awesome awesome boxset during my waking hours.

Taken in Cardiff on her b'day last year. Many happy returns and I hope you like the new I-Pod nano ;)

Boxing day - the chance to reflect upon the year's events.

Candle

It's sunny but very cold here. I may head back to bed to hide under a very warm duvet.

Merry Christmas!

_MG_7203

Just been opening presents and prepping turkey. Still feeling rough but must make the effort! I thought the colours and look in this was seasonal. Hopefully Linds has a special pressie for me later ;)

I'm off back to bed to make sure I am well enough to enjoy tomorrow's festivities.

Have a good one people :)

Flu diary - day 4.

The goblins in the bedside cabinet are now quiet. I guess they must have read this journal entry. Body temperature now normal, dizzy spells at a minimum and aches/pain are at a minimum. It appears I am somewhat better but feel very washed out. Cough has now become productive (I will keep details to myself) and the whole thing has turned into a nasty head cold.

Still, extra rest is not a bad thing and I have sleep to catch up with having had very little at night for the past few days (at least continuous sleep which doesn't involve sitting upright in bed wide awake, slathered in sweat and thinking that someone is taking a bone saw to my skull). So, me =1. Swine Flu = 0.

As you might tell my old more verbose self is back. The typewriter is most appropriate.

Flu diary - day 3.

When will the goblins in my bedside cabinet stop trying to perform Celine Dion medleys at 3am? I don't have much against Ms Dion but it's a bit inappropriate, lads.

Temperature down to 100 now which is good. Body still feels like it has been beaten with a cricket bat ("you've got red on you!")

Red flower


Anyhoo, back to sleep and may eat something later. zzzzz

Currently battling H1N1 (I refuse to call it "Swine Flu"). So, after almost passing out in the supermarket yesterday I came home and slept fpr 16 hours straight.

Anyhoo, next few days will consist of nice upbeat photos.

_MG_5101

Posting this from my Eee Netbook which Linda kindly dug out for me. I'm heading back to sleep now as my temperature is still 102.

And a good one to kick off the weekend. She's looking evil but she just made these so maybe she isn't too evil? ;)

After the day I've had, I wish I had that ability.

I haven't shot anything outdoors in an age. Must make a note to add that to the long list of things to do.

I thought we might have had some of this today.

Instead we got fog and it was a real pea souper, sarge!

Linda looking cold.

Yes, it was very cold that day but not as cold as today was. Wake me up when it's spring!

Media I am currently indulging in:

Taken 3 years ago at the Frankfurt market in B'ham.

Fast Carousel.

Nowadays it's difficult to get near to the place, let alone take a photo. Not sure if I will make it there this year.

I wish I could read my cat's mind.

IMG_0630

I don't think she wants to go out today. Weather is so naff, I was tempted to have a duvet day but Linda grabbed me to go grocery shopping. Off to cook a tagine now, laters.

Happy Turkey day to my USA friends. Wish I was there but hey, some of us have to earn a crust and save up for the next US trip ;)

Today has been filled with enigma and mystery. Not.

_MG_7192

Hence a photo to brighten my day and this has a hint of the mystery about it.

Crikey. Photo #700.

IMG_1731

It's a bit wintery today and I am indoors on annual leave. Even the cats don't want to run wild and free in the garden today. I'm feeling much the same so going to make cabbage, potato, swede and sweetcorn soup.

Laters.

I don't shoot her from this angle very often. I do like the lighting and expression in this shot.

I like the lighting on this one and the way the mirror reflects the shot.

Shiny surfaces are just fun to shoot, non?
