Demolition Baby, originally uploaded by ZMB. Goodbye sand castles!

I started the bank holiday weekend a little early by taking the afternoon off work on Friday. I used the time to cook the ‘no knead bread’ I had started the night before and to go for a photowalk in Top Wood with Dave and the dogs. Gracie was in fine posing form and Maya [...]

I know that in my last post I said that I would love to have Gracie in work to keep me calm and that I would keep her in my drawer. Well… today I had both dogs in work after having locked myself out of the house at lunchtime, following the dogs lunchtime walk. Naturally, [...]

A while back I was asked for permission (via Flickr) to use one of my photos to advertise the Chillifest in the Open House Festival programme, I gave permission and sent my picture plus a better picture that hadn’t been posted on Flickr to them (the one they eventually used), along with my mail address [...]

Gracie Originally uploaded by ZMB. I got the results of the OU photography course I completed last December – 94% Visual Awareness – Excellent Technical Quality – Outstanding Written component – Excellent Naturally I am very pleased with the result.

Cactus Originally uploaded by ZMB. No time for much else but eating, sleeping, working and taking photographs. As part of my photography course I have to submit 10 photographs as a final project. Much as I want to submit 10 photos of Gracie, I know that I am blinded by my love for her and [...]

The Dark Hedges Originally uploaded by ZMB. If you are wondering who that woman is with the camera, tripod and small white dog, taking photographs around town – it is me doing my homework. I wouldn’t really say I’m a fan of nighttime photography; or maybe it’s just this town that is the problem – [...]

Fish Stall Crop Originally uploaded by ZMB. I picked up some photos yesterday from Boots. I had enquired in several places around the town if they developed black and white films, to be told that they didn’t anymore. Boots, fortunately, still develop black and white, but I had to wait two weeks for the prints. [...]

I have spent the past couple of weeks mulling over the decision I needed to make. Both options have their good points and bad points but in the end it came down to not wanting to wait any longer. The person I had spoken to regarding the traditional crafts scheme has left her job and [...]

Looks like I was quite attached to the old bear. 30 years on I have a soft spot for my new bear.

I hate making decisions. It took D and I 1½ hours to decide what we would do yesterday after our original plan fell through. We went to the Asia Supermarket in Belfast and then went for a walk along Groomsport beach. So, decisions? The options are – 1. Take part in a North Antrim/Donegal scheme [...]

Old Boat Originally uploaded by ZMB.

He didn’t know he sat in such a picturesque spot Originally uploaded by ZMB. We took a lot of photos. About 500 with the digital camera plus the six rolls of film that I shot with my Olympus Trip 35. Some of them are on Flickr now. Later I will scan and add some of [...]

So far we have: Played ball: Played chase: and watched the dogs play:
