DD365
The ‘DD365’ Category is all about me trying to do a post every day throughout 2013 starting Jan 1. I’m going to try not to make it too “Here’s a blog about my lunch” but I can’t guarantee it’ll be entirely lunch free.

Me circa 1980A couple of weeks ago, I found an old camera : A Kodak Instamatic - with a now defunct 126 film cassette, still inside. I decided to risk wasting a few quid to see if there was anything on it by sending it off to be…

- Intense logistics, a run off dog and a me pic
Yesterday was funny. I "wrote" my daily blog (thus ensuring continuity of my DD365 project) using a method I'd has in mind as a back up reserve idea - see, it dawned on me that where I was going, the internet may not be…

- Surprise views
Just been out for a lovely walk wi' dog and my as good as new LOMO LC-A camera in between our kids social appointments and us being their hackney carriage. Beautiful sunset - we'd rambled down the railway lines then…
Roger LeanTurns out, the specialist Russian camera repair guy who's just fixed and serviced my LOMO LC-A is a bit of an underground internet legend. Roger Lean is almost an anagram of Legend. Almost. It seems that anyone who's…
- Dog Cam 1.0
A very rough first go at an idea I'd had - to attach a camera to my dog and see what a dogs eye view of the world is like. I used the…
- It looks like I've missed a day..
Astute observers of my DD365 project may note at this point, that there's a day missing. I wrote a blog yesterday but for some reason, it hasn't published. It's not even saved as as an online draft - but I know I wrote…
An evening with Karl CulleyAt the weekend, I was fortunate enough to catch Karl Culley playing headline in a 'one night only' sell out show in The Harrogate Theatre. I've been a fan of Karl's for years now - and was really excited about the…
