Over the weekend I finished reading the latest issue of B&W Photography. Ordinarily I would write a piece about an article in the magazine that inspired me. Although I enjoyed reading the mag, there was nothing init that really got my virtual pen going. I’ve gone back to the Gosport Record. The issue I’m readingContinue reading “186/366 Incorporation”

What a cold week it has been. Every day that I have gone out, I have had to make sure that I was wrapped up really warm. It was probably Monday when I went out and during the walk my ears suffered, so I sought out my Balaclava. That has really helped. Then on anotherContinue reading “185/366 That was the Walking Week”

Here’s a link to my first formally released Vlogg; https://youtu.be/r6eSemzgW8c Ok, so it is my first, and I know that it is far from perfect. The ways in which it is imperfect are, I’m sure legion. But I am not going in to most of them today. There is one aspect that I do wantContinue reading “184/366 Vlogging”

Well, here we are. I have been doing this numbered blog for 183 days, 6 months! When I started doing this, I didn’t know that I would still be doing it 6 months later. I’m really pleased. Of course, I would be. Certainly, one of the things that I know has helped has been theContinue reading “183/366 The Halfway Point”

I’m supposed to write about the weather tonight. Over the last 4 days it has been cold. Very cold, and it snowed. OK, not much and it was all gone within 24 hours, but it was cold. Now I may come back to the weather, but in the meantime there’s something else I want toContinue reading “182/366 Ooops – that’s not what I wanted.”

OK, I have been looking for this book, I knew it was somewhere in the house, and i found it tonight; I have not opened it, I have no idea what it is like inside. But, how is this for a commitment; Wednesday Nights are the night I write about photography. On a Wednesday, IContinue reading “181a/366 A Photography Project”

This is a street near where I live. It’s a preservation area, which means that the occupants of the houses have to maintain a certain standard. It’s understandable why. It’s a lovely area. It thought this one would be OK as a black and white; I don’t think it’s too bad – It’s a pityContinue reading “181/366 Photography this week.”

It snowed. Not much, but it’s there. Luckily it was very patchy which meant that walking was easy, I didn’t find icy pavements anywhere. The forecast for the next 24 hours is more cold temperatures but no more snow for this area. Hopefully when it does freeze (has it thawed? I doubt it, it hasContinue reading “180/366 It Snowed!”

It was cold this morning. With a negative temperature as I left the house and a stiff breeze blowing giving a -5C windchill, I could have done with a bit better cover on my head. I need to look out my balaclava, it’s a nice bright blue one. It’s somewhere about. Tonight, I am supposedContinue reading “179/366 Reading Stuff”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6eSemzgW8c OK, something a bit different tonight, and I don’t know if this is going to work. Me playing with Vlogging. I went out and recorded this this afternoon. I did go out for a walk, and I was so focussed on doing the videoing that I didn’t take any pictures, so here’s a pictureContinue reading “178/366 Walking and Vlogging”
