crazy snow statue
this photo looks super-imposed, but is real. i’ve just changed the contrast a little, but the strange effect is just snow on it. the original is here if you want to see.
how to deal with venomous fishes
how to put visitors to an aquarium at ease – display the venous fish incident procedure. i wasn’t comforted, but i was doubly encouraged not to shove my hand in with the rays. (not that i would have anyway)
skate board hiding in a tree
can you spot it ?
snowy london (whilst it lasted)
i got an extra early train in to london yesterday so i could enjoy the snow. we had a fair bit at home, but it had mostly gone slushy by the time i started my walking adventure (even though it was 7am when i reached london). still, i got some ok photos.
where do we come from ?
this snow man knows where he’s come from. unlike a slug/snail he’s gained as he’s gone rather than slimed

we remember blaine in a box. now it’s rich is a box.
utah star car
Julie sent me this photo with this email:
“I took this picture this morning while leaving the dentist’s office. I think I am getting better at finding odd things all over the place. I think I would have taken a better picture if I was a few feet to the right but I was in my car at the time with another car pulling out of a parking spot and was about to come behind me. You can use this picture if you want. It’s a recent ambition of mine (for the past 7 or 8 months) to take a picture I thought was good enough to send to you, and one that you would use. If this one isn’t good enough I will just keep trying.”
It took me a while to realise why this is such a fantastic picture. it’s worth studying. julie took in the picture in Utah, USA so you UK drivers will have to thing the other way round.
i can’t say i recommend moving car based photography (if you are driving at the same time) but julie’s done a good job !
dora waves goodbye
we’ve all been ill with a stomach bug, but somehow kezia managed to hold off getting it until after her birthday party and had much fun. anyroadupdown here’s dora waving goodbye.
flash photography
i’ve been trying to expand my camerist skills a bit and trying to get in to lighting. i’m completely rubbish to be honest, but it’s worth a go. so far i’ve managed to get a remote trigger for my canon flash, seen here bungied to my monopod.
kezia loves being camerist’s mate, holding the extended monopod to the side of the thing i’m photoing.
