headless builders
that chap walking away is trying to look innocent.
boating by
i didn't think this blurring worked but then i think it did. dunno.
shoes - but 1 get 1 free
buy one get one free shoes. who would have thought it. i'll have a right one and a free left one please.
dog inside
don't put your fingers in the mail slot
man casting spells in a tunnel
the light on the top right caused the strange green lights to appear on this chap in a tunnel making him look like he's casting spells. or communicating with aliens
when work and home collide
i'm featured in the back page of Telecoms Professional magazine in my
work capacity this month ! It's the magazine from the nice people at The Institute of Telecommunications Professionals
Click on the version above (i've edited out my real surname for some internet anonyminity) to learn all about me. Regular blog readers will know most of it anyway although it's always nice to have a recap !

trolley tug 'o' war
i've always loved the 'o' in tug 'o' war
victorian piano
esther needed some photos of this victorian upright piano for a school project
i enjoyed helping her gather the evidence
alarmed
i've just spotted the word armed in alarmed. that's interesting.
a grey morning
this was the scene at tescos yesterday morning before the doors open. only grey cards (even the green one was grey), grey sky and wet grey carpark. classic british weather.
it got quite nice later on though.
carpet madness
carpet madness 50% off, then an extra 20% of carpets
it sure is a mad carpet world.

not the film
live on stage. not the film!
training shots
tony kindly leant me his flash so i could attempt something fancy when i did my photoshoot thing last saturday. here's one of my test shots on a non-human head.
a slippery day
who'd have thunk the ice would have been slippery
i took the day of work yesterday to look after the girls as they had an inset day and jane was working. so we went ice skating in the morning then headed to a transport cafe for a greasy slippery fry up.
the watched snog
i went to see the Rodchenko exhibition on friday and was inspired to take this photo. it was only afterwards i noticed the girls with balloons on the top left.
guess the scene
can anyone guess what's going on here ? you've got to guess the two parts to win. as a clue it was taken in central london. the blur is thanks to me experimenting with motion blur in preparation for a different shot. 20 pence in cash for the first correct answer.
please pay
i don't think that's her real hand
the polystyrene plant
i know what you are thinking, but it's not. there's no such thing as a sugar lump tree. it's in fact a polystyrene plant. the one is in bloom, hence the poly blobs on the end of the spiky branches.
this sign would work well on my desk at work.
get dressed
this shop in bracknell, england is quite fantastic. all the mannequin's were bold. except this one, which had covered up with a hat and sun glasses. she was a lot shorter than the other mannequins too ...
buskers
as seen blurrily here . i think (although i'm probably totally wrong) they were from Poland.
i'm also not totally convinced the accordion player is actually spiderman.
dummy
whilst out on a photoshoot with jen and leo (oooh, look at me!) i was delighted to find this dummy
Leo had asked me earlier what kinds of things i usually photograph. And there waiting for us was one of my favourite subjects !
it's all going wrong in the graveyard
perhaps reflecting the decay beneath the ground, many gravestone statues seem to be losing parts and even entire limbs
if you can keep your head when all those around you are losing theirs, perhaps you are the cause ?
the stationery lady
this lady was looking over the next balcony to where i was standing. she was waving a pair of scissors about as she talked on her phone.
she also had three pend in her hair.

u name it
seaside shops are the actual best
clockwork kids
esther is digital. kezia is analogue
thames path - part 15 days lock to wallingford
i had a day off work yesterday so we could head back to the thames path.
our last outing was in October due to flooding etc. it was still very wet under foot. but rather than soaking, it was muddy and slidey which made walking tricky
this was our first glimpse of the thames again. note
kezia brought her camera with her and took this picture of geese
there was a geocache on this bridge
and this is the view from near where we had out picnic
there's a geocache under this bridge only accessible with scuba kit (bollards don't count)
here's a jetty at benson
when we finally got to wallingford, chris and i took kezia to the pub whilst the other ladies recovered our car from the starting point. chris wore his hat in the pub and they told him to take it off. i guess he looked too much like a hooligan youth type.
