Day 246 – Traces of evidence Er, no officer I wasn’t taking pictures whilst driving, ok so maybe I was but I was in control and still had one hand on the wheel (not the camera jog wheel) plus it was only for 1.6sec plus .4sec to put the camera down. It takes longer […]
Day 220 – Fail safe to the rescue… again? So last week was bonkers, snapping well over 5000 photographs and today just the one picture to start the fresh new week, my one building, one spot on the way to the office, Déjà vu? Feels like it!
Day 215 – Historical Beams It’s not a secret that I have a serious love for the Battersea Power Station or Chelsea Bridge for that matter. So as I was in London seeing a great family friend, I took and opportunity to snap the Illuminated Icons whilst doing a little feature for Photography Monthly […]
Day 206 – Sunset high-rise Today I wanted to get out and catch one of the lovely sunsets I keep missing, so poised at the door trying to see if the sun and clouds were going to dance together to give us a closing show performance I waited with camera, hugo and baby car […]
Day 203 – The cats whiskers! This cat is a cute cat but don’t be fooled but its sweet looks! This picture does look like the cat has some attitude, almost to the point of asking me what am I doing in my own garden, but this cat is brave and has some serious […]
Day 196 – Pedal power Today is a contrast from yesterday, i was strolling round a Cheltenham landmark in the lovely sunshine admiring hundreds of motorbike and snapping pictures. Today I am struggling up a hill in my quest to get fit again, i’m starting to think it would be easier to get fat […]
Day 195 – Look twice for bikers. I had popped out to get some baby milk for the little one, and on my journey through the centre of Cheltenham I had to double take as I drove past one of the main gardens here, the Imperial Garden outside the very Regent Queens Hotel. There […]
Day 193 – The lights are on… Strange I know, but I find there is something a little satisfying when you catch the street lights just turning on. It’s like you have caught them doing their warm up before the dark sets in ready for them to do their illuminating night shift, they start […]
Day 192 – Hot air balloon. Wow, what a day, it’s hot, no, it’s damn hot! I spent few hours in Bristol with the family to visit the Foodie Festival, but as the saying goes ‘If you can’t stand the heat then get out of the kitchen’ well that couldn’t be any truer today. […]
Day 187 – Rotten window view. As I walked to the office this morning still in shock at what would normally be a grey summer is still peacocking blue skies and a delightful orange disc up above. The architecture in Cheltenham is beautiful but really shines through when the sun is out, the golden […]
Day 178 – Somewhere to park. The summer is here at last, so inevitably the parks fill up, normally with all those hard working, tax paying citizens, I just wish they would take there rubbish home with them after the have worked so hard eating and drinking their hard earned money. I’m not for […]
Day 179 – Time to reflect. Today was a great day with friends at a charity event for the Cotswold Downs Syndrome Group, close friends have a child with Down Syndrome and have a close involvement with the Charity, I am always happy to help in any way I can, so went along to […]
Day 177 – Twins! When I got home from work I needed a cool one to chase away the blues, I am so happy to be informed it’s twins!
Day 174 – Best friends Todays photo isn’t a fancy shot, technical shot or even a staged picture. This is about two old friends looking after each other, I see this guy walking with his dog when going or leaving the office. I admire his strength to get out and walk, they walk extremely […]
Day 170 – Short term memory. It’s a big wedding tomorrow so it’s time clear down the memory cards ready for the big day and the heavy trigger finger. When the day is down it’ll be time to move them over to the hard drive to make way for the next shoot, hopefully i won’t […]
Day 164 – Love drink. I love taking pictures of people sat on benches, one of my all time favourites is of an old couple sat on a bench in the park just down from this one. The couple are eating their lunch, chatting and sharing a moment, and from the picture you can […]
Day 163 – Board Monkeys. I am a big lover of graffiti, so when I saw these Banksy’esque paintings I had to take a picture, so with my trusty iPhone I share these cheeky chimps!
Day 156 – Iconic wheels Today I had the privilege to photograph two original 1960’s Fiat 500’s for Photography Monthly magazine (look out for the feature in the July issue). One has suicide doors and a red canvas roof and the other a little more sporty with the chrome wire wheels. Ever since the […]
Day 154 – Tears… I guess my little boy just isn’t ready for model stardom just yet. This little chap is wiser than I thought, all I get when the camera come out is tears, maybe it’s for quiet time, I hope this wears off soon otherwise I will be the one in tears! […]
Day 153 – Tiddler on the Roof. Today we had a call that someone might be interested in buying our little sports cars, well my wife’s actually, but nonetheless it’s due to be test driven tomorrow. I thought it would be a good opportunity to take her for a quick spin and as the […]
