it has rained for what seems like 40 days and 40 nights here. throughout this time the mere suggestion of sunshine has seemed an outrageous lie, crafted by some odious propaganda machine. but today, in a not-altogether-welcome turn, it is boiling. searing. when you step outside, you start to feel a bit crispy. your eyelids begin to melt and droop over your field of vision. i realise shooting...

so i did it. i left my job. 50% of the people i know say i’m brave; the other 50% give me a kind of disgusted look and tell me i’m nuts. maybe they all secretly think i’m crazy but half are too polite to say. now when i see something legalistic in the papers or the telly i smirk, not ruefully but in an almost apologetic way. at least it’s over now and i can get on with...

i’ve been so stressed recently that it feels like my face is about to fall off. and yet on the face of it i have nothing to be stressed about. so this paradox continues. is this natural? how long is one person supposed to go without sleeping anyway?

i’ve been a gym rat for 10 years, but it doesn’t really show. this is primarily because all i can ever think about after a workout is eating oodles and oodles of fried, junky, meaty snacks, slathered in saturated fats and breadcrumbs. it’s tormenting me.  but i must resist.  dragon boat season is on its way and i have to find a middle ground. today’s compromise...

some you win. some you lose. keep on moving. onwards. upwards. forwards. the sky is infinite, without a ceiling; the shades of blue you can paint it, countless.

i don’t usually comment on politics, nor do i live in the UK any longer, but i felt a little twinge of sadness to hear of little ivan cameron’s death today.  cancelling PM’s questions was undoubtedly the right thing to do. RIP.

a rethink
initially this blog was supposed to be a haven for my flickr “outtakes” that didn’t quite make the cut, set to some rambling and somewhat abstract quips.  but i’m beginning to see it as a good opportunity to feature photos by other flickr-ites I like.  having now pulled my finger out and started to look at other blogs, this would appear to be the tumblr way anyway: to share...

sometimes i worry incessantly about forgetting things that are supposed to be ingrained in my memory.  like the taste of some sugary sweet treat at the school fair.  everyone’s got a memory for something like that.  but lately my mind seems distracted, almost as if it is struggling to revive those pleasant scents and sights of days gone by. it’s easy to feel lost, and even easier to...

“what do you want from me / it’s not how it used to be” i’ve got to be careful where i tread.  careful not to rustle the fallen leaves. find myself sustenance without breaking too much sweat. the odd guilty pleasure is ok.

Don’t you forget about me. I’m still here. Waiting for your next facebook poke. Or forwarded joke. Or invitation for a smoke (even though I don’t).

sometimes you want to say things to your family which you know you probably shouldn’t.  but something holds you back.  and you’re never quite sure what’s worse… a few home truths… or the perpetuation of a white lie. crossroads.

well, come.
so here’s my new photo blog.  i have a flickr site for all that pesky digital stuff but I’ll be putting some of the more quirky film and lomo-type snaps here, with a little commentary now and then. sorted.
