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 [...]

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 [...]

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 - I [...]

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.

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.

Some of them are on Flickr now. Later I will scan and add some of my [...]
So far we have:

Yesterday I ordered a Digital SLR camera and am so excited I can hardly wait for it to arrive. It will be added to our camera collection, which already includes: a classic Olympus Trip 35, a Canon IXUS V2, a Canon IXUS 700 and a Canon EOS 300V. No prizes for guessing that [...]
This was the view from my back door on Sunday.
As promised here is the result of my day spent French Knotting. The cardigan took a long time to finish, week-wise the French Knotting took as long as it took me to knit the cardigan! Perhaps my heart wasn’t in it.
The pumpkin became: ravioli; [...]
Gracie says she would like you to vote for her (if you can) in the September Year of the Dog 2006 competition. She is very excited to have been nominated but realises that her chance of winning is very slim. Though if she did win she would use the opportunity to travel [...]
