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: September 2018
Monday 4th of November 2019
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: June 2018
Saturday 20th of April 2019
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…

Summer streets of London
Friday 1st of June 2018
My work held its annual “let’s all see how we did this year” meetup thing recently, except this one was much shorter than in previously, running only from 13:00 to 16:00. This meant a) I could get up at a normal time, since my train was at 7:30 and not, like, 5:00 or something ridiculous, and b) I could have a bit of time afterwards to explore London while I waited for my 19:00 train. My colleague…

Via London
Wednesday 26th of October 2016
Yesterday I had to go to London on business, so obviously I took my camera (the X100 this time) and spent some of my lunch break and some time after work taking pictures. car windscreen on the drive to the station train seat reservation card reflection in gate sign for Notting Hill Preparatory School battered old car people seated eating street food worker bracing ladder rubbish outside shop windo…

OCOLOY Week 33
Tuesday 27th of October 2015
Much like last week , the weather this week was mostly grey and dull, making me really feel the onset of winter, and its associated emotional blues. This led me to poke around with some monochrome conversions in Capture One, and on a whim I tried a less contrasty one with a slightly brighter tone curve. I really like it, which is surprising to me because although I’ve often felt I should try to…

OCOLOY Week 16
Friday 8th of May 2015
This was a week of locational variety! At the weekend Zoe and I went to visit her sister in Cambridge, and on Wednesday I went to London on business. Alas, it was almost exclusively business, with little time to take pictures. Still, it was good to visit somewhere different from my usual local area, even if the 3 hour train journey each way is a bit of a chore. warehouse sundown warehouse sundow…

London Streets
Monday 21st of July 2014
Saturday was a bit of a gamble, weather-wise – originally forecast to be a toasty 29°, this was later amended to warn of possible storms, so the employer-organised picnic Zoe and I were going to in London was cancelled. Having already bought our train tickets, we decided to have a day out in London anyway, and have lunch with my brother and his girlfriend. The 08:00 train from Lowestoft to Ipswic…
