Last night, I had an incredible, well above average, nights sleep. It may be to do with the long and full on day I had - including a trip into London and back (not getting in 'till 10:30) and a fair ol' chunk of things…

Blog Action DayI've got the rare occurrence of a pre defined structured topic for today’s blog post. It’s blog action day and the theme is “Human Rights”. Since 2007, this annual event has encouraged bloggers to talk about one topic,…
- Lots of screen
A day that involved lots of screen time. Video conference screens to two other countries, Laptop screen + extended monitor whilst chucking around shapes in Axure and Agile planning in TFS. Watch screen to keep an eye on…
"The impossible photograph""The impossible photograph, that's really what's at the heart of my work" Richard Mosse. When I mentioned in my blog post last night that I'd like to try out some colour infraded film, old friend and fine art…
Busy yet not busy Sunday.I've had one of those days when I've not done a lot, but have done a lot. We've not actually done anything as a family, but I've been up to all sorts. 1./ I've drafted an idea for a post for this Friday night at Zoso…
I'm selling a bunch of camerasI've been crafting an eBay listing today. They're having one of those 'no insertion fee' weekends, so I decided to exploit it by selling the above 'job lot' of cameras. The one in the bottom middle is my favourite out…
- Meat Box

Olympus OM10. Nice Bokeh!I love the phrase 'nice bokeh'. It's a über nerdy photography thing to say. Bokeh is my favourite word from the whole world of photography. It's from a Japanese word that concerns the aesthetic qualities of ‘the blur’ /…
Brown EyesToday has comprised of going to Christchurch on The Stray this morning then a party this afternoon. Sophie had a starring role at church - a reading type thing - she got to stand in the pulpit. Lovely service. Good ol'…
Some Lomo PhotosI got a film back today that I've had in my LOMO LC-A for months now - probably most of the summer. Unfortunately / fortunately the film has suffered from some light leakage. This has created some interesting effects…
Generation DI received a belated birthday present this morning. A National Semiconductors' Digital NOVUS LED Watch. I absolutely love it to bits. When these came out - 40 years ago, when I was born (the model I've been bought is a…

So, it's the second time recently, I've started out a blog post with the title "Functional Bloggage". I've got to blog every day, as I'm over 3/4 of a year into my quest to 'blog every day this year' (just in case I've…
