Life without hope is hopeless as they say. If anything, aspects of the last 10 months have been hopeless but that in the main is the hoplessness of our inept government who no doubt live in the hope that COVID-19 might just go away if only they can procrastinate long enough. For the rest of […]
Foggy and Clegg take lunch somewhere in Suffolk
It was a long day yesterday. I’m taking part in a longish project documenting the docklands of the Orwell with a number of of other photographers, commercial, professional and amateur. Ipswich wet dock has been recorded since the dawn of photography and this weekend saw the increasingly popular Ipswich Maritime Festival take place with thousands […]
Getting on with other work
The last year has been crazy getting Edgelands up and onto a wall and the last week has been even crazier but life and work go on. I’m looking at rebuilding this site so I started experimenting with new designs last week. It will take a while to work out what works best but I […]
I don’t often take taxis….
Of course I have taken taxis over the years. To and from termini with bags as I scurried here and there on work assignments but not normally in a social context. Last night we got the dreaded call from the care home that Mrs O’s mother was being taken into A&E by ambulance. This was […]
So much has changed since the dog died
Today’s weather would not be good for dogs. Ours would have turned his nose up at having to go out in this, I very nearly did so in doing the messages this morning which is why I got to thinking about our locale. Every morning he would trot, and he did trot almost like a […]
Just chillin’
I don’t know who Dave was. Yesterday, in my excitement over the Kingfisher, I decided not to post any of the other images I made. This bench on the Gipping path is something I see when I do my regular bicycle ride. This morning it was still raining here so no bicycle exercise for me, […]
Hurrah! The days are getting longer.
I was out before dawn today. No bicycle. A bit too windy for me so shank’s pony was in order and yet more testing as I get to grips with the metering and handling of this camera. It is so different to the D3S. Being out before dawn is not too onerous a task at […]
I walked for over 5 hours this morning
I have been preoccupied of late with getting my second attempt at funding for my extended Edgelands project into the system plus a financial year end and getting to grips with society group protocols at the RPS. We were warned of a weather bomb heading our way and yesterday on my morning constitutional I noticed […]
Zen and the art of Kingfisher photography
Some of my regular followers will have seen a spate of posts this week regarding my pursuance of Kingfishers. I deliberately did not post any information about my whereabouts but now we are home I can reveal that I was on location in Mylor Churchtown, Cornwall. In all I spent 19.5 hours driving there […]
Edgelands – transitioning
I made a recce to Cattawade in the middle of the day today. It was raining cats and dogs and I ‘d prudently packed the D3S as I don’t much like the Bronica or the Toyos getting drenched. I was curious to see the lay of the land as this season draws to a close […]
