Feeling a little horseYes, I imagine that all of the extra public speaking the supermarket and now Ikea bosses have been doing recently over the horse meat in our food scandal has left them feeling a little horse. What gets me is - why…
Further adventures in cross processingThese photos are not edited - they are 'straight out of the camera'. I'd used slide film - Fujichrome Provia 100f and asked a lab to process it through standard C41 process chemicals. The obliged. The results are this…
Homoeopathic BirthHomoeopathy : photo by yuki* Tonight, Eirene and I went for a specialist homoeopathic birthing consultation. Eirene (now 37+ weeks) is a firm believer in homoeopathy and wants to use it to help her through the birthing…
- Follow, like and reblog features on a wordpress self hosted site
There are two flavors of the Wordpress Content Management System. There's the wordpress.org self hosted solution - as used for this very blog, and there's the wordpress.com hosted solution. I'm normally a glass half…
100 StrangersI stumbled across a fascinating sounding project today, so I though I'd give it a go. It's called 100 strangers . Participants are to approach 100 people and ask if they can take their photo. If they say yes, They're to…
100 AcquaintancesIn my last blog post, I described a project called 100 strangers, and how I've embarked on the quest to get photos of 100 strangers. I'm toying with the idea of the same kind of thing, but for 100 acquaintances. Perhaps…
Grandad Skelton's cameraI've just been given my grandad's old camera. It's a Voigtländer Vitoret with all the trimmings. A beautiful old thing. Just loaded it up with some ILFORD FP4 black and white film. My grandad apparently saved up for a…
Titus SaltToday we went to one of our fave indoor places in Yorkshire. Salts Mill, Saltaire in Shipley. Titus Salt who built the place in the middle of the 1800s was quite an amazing fella. Whilst a lot of his contemporaries were…
reCAPTCHAreCAPTCHA prompts - don't ya just love em? The internet is an immense collection of data. It's getting closer, day by day, to containing the entire sum of everything that is written. ' Everything' is available online in…

These four wallsI could quite get used to this forced chillax. I'm not sure for how long, and I do pity those folk who have to stay in bed for weeks on end, but as I'm only 48 hours in, the novelty is still overriding the potential…
vestibular neuronitisTurns out, I've probably got vestibular neuronitis according to Dr. Leech, which is giving me vertigo. It's an inflamed bit inside my head near the bit that governs balance. This kicked in late yesterday afternoon.…
Airfix fixRelived part of my childhood today and introduced Jaygo to the joys of model building. So far, built a cockpit and painted a few parts. A fun thing to do for a bit. It reminded me of all the fiddly itsy bitsy hobbies I…
SnowdropsI saw my first snowdrops of the year today. It's the third earliest sighting I've seen of the snowdrop since (DragonDrop.org) records began - the earliest being January the 19th. Typically they're the first common wild…
