1906 – What to do?

It’s a general question; What to do? I guess this is a bit of a look forward to next week. But before I do that, I just briefly want to talk about last night’s post, which was a rather incoherent way on my part, of saying that I want to do more street photography, thatContinue reading “1906 – What to do?”

1902 – Camera Club

Tonights camera club meeting was a members’ night. That means we did our own thing. As it happens, three members of the club had done setups where other people could practice a particular photographic exercise. Colin’s piece was a kind of still life. I say kind of, because it did involve the smoke of aContinue reading “1902 – Camera Club”

1899 – A Routine

I haven’t looked back through my blogs since I retired, but I am sure that I will have written about this since then. That is a routine, or lack of one. I am increasingly finding myself frustrated by not having a routine. See the number at the top of this post – 1899? Over 5Continue reading “1899 – A Routine”

1897 – Photography

I have been giving my photography and approach to the subject some serious thought of late. There is (in my eyes) a slight technical problem – I know a poor worker will blame his tools, and I’m not blaming the tool, I’m blaming my ability to use them correctly. The issue I have with myContinue reading “1897 – Photography”

1840 – It’s that day

I’ll tell you about the photograph towards the bottom of this post. Today, was one of those signpost days that most people experience – I retired. I went to work this morning, but it really wasn’t a normal day. I had a chat with my boss, and wished him goodbye. I had already had similarContinue reading “1840 – It’s that day”

1830 – A trip to the Island

I promised myself that if a bus turned up within two minutes of my arrival at the bus stop at the bottom of our road, I would save myself a bit of time and get on. Something was working in my favour because I looked around just as I got there and stuck my handContinue reading “1830 – A trip to the Island”

1803 – A walk in to town

We had a walk in to town. For no other reason than to get out and about for a bit. We ended up in Cafe #1. I had a cup of tea with millionaires short bread, which is about the only time I like shortbread, with a thick layer of caramel and chocolate on top.Continue reading “1803 – A walk in to town”

1682 – A quick trip in to town

I took a weekend stroll in to town today. There was one of the special markets on, which was nice to see. My walk was at around 0900, so stalls were still being set up, so I hope they had a busy day – there was certainly the weather for it. I was pleased toContinue reading “1682 – A quick trip in to town”

1660 – I visit Waterstones in Portsmouth

Elayne said she likes this picture because it has the four tower blocks and The Trinity Church Tower. I hadn’t really planned anything particular for the day other than I wanted to walk in to town. But then I found the little notebook that I normally take with me, and read the last entry, datedContinue reading “1660 – I visit Waterstones in Portsmouth”

1222 Dorset v. Hampshire

Arundel Castle from the train. Arundel isn’t in either Hampshire or Dorset, so why have I posted it? Well, it was the first photo from the selection that appealed to me, and I don’t think I’ve used it before. I have to be honest with you, I pretty much can barely wait to get toContinue reading “1222 Dorset v. Hampshire”
