Backlog: June 2018
Monday 19th of December 2022
Well, if I thought last month’s backlog was thin, this one was even worse. We went on just one outing, to Dunwich Forest, but other than that it was just shopping trips to Lowestoft, solo walking along the beach, and the usual pictures of Emily. As for said trip to Dunwich, well, it wasn’t terribly productive, photographically speaking, but Em enjoyed it and we had a nice picnic, so all in all it …

Friday 25th of November 2022
Looking through my photo library, pictures from this month are mostly of Zoe and Emily – it seems I didn’t get out to do anything else very much. Still, you can never have enough pictures of your wife and daughter, so I’m not complaining :) Even now, almost 4 years on, Em still loves going on the swings.

Backlog: February 2019
Thursday 24th of November 2022
More fog this month, this time on a morning walk around Lound Lakes. While preparing the images for this post, I was inspired by a video I recently watched about the Hassleblad X-Pan/Fujifuilm TX-1, so decided to try cropping the images to that camera’s super wide 65×24 (1:2.7) aspect ratio. It’s certainly a challenge trying to find images to fit, as obviously none of them were shot with this in…

Backlog: January 2019
Sunday 13th of November 2022
January, like the previous month , was quite sparse, photographically. I don’t recall why, exactly – perhaps it was the work involved in bringing up a 1-year-old, perhaps it was just the weather wasn’t especially cooperative most of the time. Or perhaps I was just lazy? Still, grey, overcast and dull weather can make for worthwhile photos if you approach it with a positive attitude. Lowestoft bea…

Backlog: December 2018
Saturday 5th of November 2022
December is when winter really get stuck in, and offers frequent displays of soft, low sun. Despite this photographic bounty, December was a surprisingly low-output month for me; perhaps looking after a 1-year-old child took its toll. early afternoon on Coast Road It’s also a time of wrapping up warm when out and about. shoppers at Norwich market Emily wrapped up warm doing a superhero pose The lo…

Backlog: September 2018

September is when the Raveningham Country Fair takes place, so of course we took Em to see it. There’s lots to see — steam engines, birds of prey, arts and crafts, and classic cars. steam engines at Raveningham Country Fair bird of prey Zoe and Em and a shiny rainbow unicorn Since she’s quite mobile by this point, Em loves looking around the garden and garage. She obviously has no sense of self-pres…

Backlog: August 2018
Saturday 7th of September 2019
After the heatwave of the previous month, it was nice to enjoy more normal (for England) summer temperatures. One of the best things about our new house is how close it is to the sea; there’s a nice thirty-minute little circuit I can do daily on my lunch break to help clear my mind and get some exercise. drain in the sea wall My parents were also getting well settled into their new bungalow a shor…

By July we’d finally moved in to our new house and unpacked most of our things. Em playing with my headphones We’d also started to explore the town and surrounding area. Hopton church farm buildings off the footpath from Hopton to Gorleston neighbour’s car overrun with brambles Em was getting a lot more mobile now – she could crawl quite easily, and was experimenting more and more with standing up…

Backlog: June 2018

June feels simultaneously yesterday and years ago. A lot has changed, not least of all Emily, who back then couldn’t even crawl. We were also still living in a rented house, too, which we knew wouldn’t be enough now that we had Em; plans were in motion, though: we’d decided on our new house and were in the (long, long) process of buying it. Emily trying to undo Zoe’s shoes Normanston Park pipes ne…
