290515 Sloane Riva

Oh to be in Venice! The closest I could get to riva today was the pavement part. Day #149 of the second 365 project, where the daily pic is informed by the OED word of the day.

270515 Unpublish

Bookworm Club - once the event is over, it is unpublished from the website.  Wonderful evening - as always - with a good heated discussion about Diane Arbus.     Day #147 of the second 365 project, where the daily…

Bleeding London

SW3 Chelsea Monday

For Bleeding London, I wanted to photograph the streets of Chelsea, but I’m still struggling to find the boundaries of the area and, after a bit of googling around, it would appear that I am not alone. I have therefore…

260515 Modern Badinage

Modern badinage, although unlike traditional badinage the casual eavesdropper is unable to tell how witty the repartee really is. Day #146 of the second 365 project, where the daily pic is informed by the OED word of the day.

250515 Oo Err

Today's pic has tufts of yellow in it and part of the background plumage is unquestionably black, although this is rather overwhelmed by the ubiquitous pile of refuse sacks.  The highlight of today was finally uploading my Bleeding London video…

250515 Bleeding London Video

Crikey! I've just realised how long it is since I updated my Bleeding London section - been far too busy in the BL back office. Anyway, I have now finished a short video of some of my favourite snaps from…

240515 Nock

Still on fixed focussing, so the wine-glass rather dominates, but in the background is the title page to Arrow - MisterMac's latest favourite series.  It's a Revenge-Batman fusion with a sprinkling of Person of Interest, Dexter and almost any other series…

230515 Jua Kali

 I didn't get outdoors today and the closest I got to informal work was cutting the lime for the fajitas because I needed a picture.  The rest of our Mexican feast was prepared by MM under careful guidance. Day #143 of…

220515 Alba

So along with a non-functioning foot, I now have a non-functioning lens.  The focus ring has sheared off and I can only shoot at the focal length it was set to when I last used it, which is about a metre.…

210515 Moodle

  I think this is a great word and one which I shall be using - although I don't seem to have much time for moodling at the moment.  The day started with a fabulous breakfast meeting at Lumas seeing all…

200515 Honeysome

Oh how honeysome Photo London was.  I always like to see interesting stuff and I've got to say, I was bowled over by the work of Stephen Wilkes - his Day to Night series is truly amazing and he was extremely…

190515 Philter Coffee*

I think we needed magical potions to get through the day, but had to settle for Pinot Noir and coffee instead, both magical in their own way - although hardly L'elisir d'Amore (BTW one of my favourite operas). We're putting…

180515 Pink Eyes

Blog followers will know that a shop window has got me out of many a scrape when it comes to the word of the day and today I have two - both ornaments are equally as ghastly and equally as…

170515 Quizzing Glass
