Reading Time: 2 minutesWalking around Hyde Park, I have come up with an idea I want to play with. I have always been quite taken with the local roofscapes – in a heavily built up inner-city area like this there is such a jumble of walls and roofs, …
Reading Time: 3 minutesWe’ve had quite a bit of snow over the last couple of weeks, to a point that takes me back to my childhood when I remember (whether accurately or not) far more beautiful snowy days. The first batch was round my birthday, just before Christmas. …
Reading Time: < 1 minuteWe do love a good sunset here, and as we approach the turn of the year again, here’s just a few more that I have found lying about on the hard drives, in and amongst other sets this year.

Reading Time: 3 minutesMore exploration of the new camera. This is getting fun. I have been playing with the slow sync flash setting which uses a longer exposue, to let in the light of the background and a flash to freeze the subject in the forground. I instantly …
Reading Time: 3 minutesThis year is dissertation year, and I have been thinking about my dissertation and what I want it to be. I’ve been playing about with taking pictures on my phone for some time, but due to my overall shit financial situation (ok, yes, I spend …
