London, reflected in puddles – beautiful work by photographer Gavin Hammond

Clever.

Last day of summer. 

Apparently this is the last day of summer and it’s all downhill (back to normal) from here. 

This picture is my attempt to capture a memory of the warm sun. 

When I look back through this blog in December I’ll remember the few days in May were we spent more time outside then in, and the kids had no interest in TV.

Just a sunny suburban street. 
Nothing to see here, keep moving along.

Found this graffiti on a wall outside the town library. I got quite excited that we could have our very own Banksy….
Until I read the writing on the balloon: “I love Pizza Hut”. 

Surely, this cannot be some form of subversive advertising, or can it?

Contrails. 

When the weather is like this I have no desire to be jetting off. 

[Took lots of photo editing and general messing around to get the sky that blue. 

Talking to a friend yesterday we both thought the sky was bluer when we were younger. Was it? Is there a conspiracy?]

Contrast up. Brightness down. Result.

When you photograph people in colour you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in B&W, you photograph their souls!
This “Keep calm….” business has got out of hand. It must be stopped.

Love the high contrast on this…

Iron work.

Iron work.

Just come back with son from seeing these drums have the sh*t beat out of them by the Mugenkyo Taiko Drummers. Amazing. You both hear and feel the noise, my body is still vibrating.

If you get a chance, go see them live, you won’t regret it.

Blonde.



Taken at Piccolinos restaurant (after midnight) in Birmingham. Great evening marred by shockingly appalling service. Looking forward to writing extreme complaint letter and posting on every restaurant review site. Still fuming.
