There is just something so good about the seaside on a grey dreary day.

Norfolk and books

I have just finished a really good book, it is always a bit sad when that happens. Anyone have any recommendations for a good new one?

new camera

I have got myself a new (old) camera. Well, I have had it for a while but I didn't think it worked until I took it to Roger who worked his magic on it, soldered some bits or something and now it take real photos not just black squares! This is my lunch corner, it is hidden away in a corner of the studio under the coats and between the fridge and the camera cupboard. I like it here.

Snowbaording!

Booked our holiday, cannot wait!

114 miles week 9

Week 9 of mine and Ian's project. Each week we email a photo to each other and display it as a dyptryct. Ian Land is on the right and I am on the left.

We are removating our house (very slowly)! The last people who owned it painted the inside of the shelf unit (which is no longer there) pink, the shelves blue and the floor was red! It really matched the yellow woodchip wallpaper kitchen, purple lounge and green bathroom! They certainly weren't afraid of the pastel shades!

Thankyou so much Jan for the early birthday presents (its tomorrow, i'll be 26 - closer to 30 than 20 now, am scared!) i love them. I promise to look after them and to try not to kill the with love (i.e. overwater!)

Richard is a lovely professor at work who said to me that he never takes a nice picture, I didn't believe him so decided to prove him wrong. He was wrong! Also I loved the golf set he had in his office and couldn't resist a shot of that!

114 miles week 6

This one is another good week I think. I emailed my photo to Ian and replied with his one and said that he thinks something spooky is going on! I agree with him, those lines practically mirror each other, I don't think anyone is going to believe us!

New Project!!!

Me and the very very very talented Ian Land (please visit his flickr, he is amazing) have started a new project together. We will each be taking a photo every week and then emailing them to each other and displaying them as a diptric. Hopefully this will be a really great project as it will be interesting to see what the other has come up with during the week and how the 2 photos go together (or not, as the case may be). This is the first image, the left shot is mine, the right is Ian Lands'

Gorgeous!

Life on the river

...would be fun! I have recently scanned some images I took a while ago whilst I was on a canal barging trip. Excellent holiday, we could of walked further than we went on the boat, but it was so relaxing, we just ate, drank and listened to music on our way down the river!

coffee

I could do with one of these right about now, bad day today
