...I only took one photo today and I took it in a hurry. I had to attend an evetn this evening for work and had about an hour to eat between work and it. I took this photo on the way to the biggest and tastiest burger I've ever had!

Possibly the dullest photo ever taken but I kinda like it.

I returned to the Curragh today to try and capture some images I saw yesterday but was ill preapred to get, mostly I didn't have my tripod.
This is part of a railing around a monument stone on the Curragh, the monument in question can be seen in this photo.

Today Wayne and I went dumper truck racing at DiggerWorld in Kent. I was pretty rubbish (and came last in a field of 18) but Wayne was good getting to compete in the grand final and coming second.

I decided to go outside and look for photos today, I'd seen a monument on my way home from work and I wanted to investigate. However I couldn't get near it in the car and it was too cold to walk any distance to it so I'll leave it for another day.
Anyway on my way home I stopped off on the Curragh and snapped a few shots including this one.
View the full set here.

I was dropping L off at the airport so I snapped a few shots of the new terminal they are building.

Although my desk is on the North side of the building I can still see the south bank of the river reflected in the building opposite.

One of my colleagues has been commenting on the randomness of my flickr photos lately.
So not wanting to disappoint here is some more macro shenanigans.

Had a busy day today with no time for pictures. This is the only photo I took all day.

The macro fun continues.
And before anyone asks, yes, I could have cleaned my car, in fact I did after this shot but the dirt gives some texture that was sadly missing from the later photos.

Revisted Red Cross Lane again today to go to the builders merchant I discovered yesterday while on my photo mission. I bought a 4.5m length of floor board which I cut into 2 for ease of getting home - apparently the guy who works there can't cut it for health and safety reasons but he could lend me a saw to do it myself. Once I'd got them back over London Bridge my next challenge was what to do with them during the afternoon. My first plan to hide them under my desk was foiled by our security guard telling me that items over 2m in length are not allowed inside the building. I managed persuade our post room to look after them for me then got one of my colleagues to help me carry them to the station in the evening. We got many puzzled looks as we carried them through the crowded city - until today it had never occured to me that I've never seen anyone doing this on my way to and from work. I had already checked the rules for large items on the train and interperetted them in my favour so I was ready for a lively discussion on the platform (and ready to loose to be honest). But no one even questioned me as I confidently went throught the barrier with both planks and strode up to my usual carriage.
Oh and the photo was taken next to Cross Bones graveyard (as featured yesterday) on my way to buy the planks.

I got a mysterious message from Rich over the weekend that just contained a link to google maps pointing at Red Cross Way and the assertion that there was something interesting to photograph there. I didn't have much spare time at lunch but I managed to sneak out for 20 minutes with the G10 to have a quick scout down Red Cross Way. I'm already pretty familiar with the street north of Southwark St having enjoyed many fine curries in the Mango Tree and taken a few photos one lunchtime too. But the road as it continues beyond Southwark St was uncharted territory and indeed I did find many interesting things including a strange plantpot, a small park, a builders merchants (more interesting in regard to my current DIY antics rather than photos) and Crossbones graveyard. It is the latter that I am supposing Rich intended to point me at and it is a rather odd sight and not one I think I've been able to adequately capture with the G10 but I'm sure I will be back to try again.

I've been reading around macro photography lately so expect a few macro shots in the coming weeks.
This is the first; the 12th Fret of my acoustic guitar. I love the way all the cracks and grime on the guitar become visible when photographed this way.

According to the books our baby is 35cm long today. That seems really big.

Went for breakfast at the A10 farm shop. I took lots of photos after breakfast but when I got home I decided I didn't like any of them and deleted them.

I often struggle with finding photos for my Project 365 and today was no exception. I was feeling particularly meh and decided to play xbox all day.

I've been thinking about negative space recently - composition not cosmology.

I had an hour to kill after work before I met up with Rich. I went for a walk around Barbican. I was nice to explore the area in more detail. It is just at the limit of how far I can get in my lunch hour so I don't normally to look around much.

I spent all evening obsessing over my flooring project which didn't leave much time left for a photo.

K and I went to see Snow Patrol tonight at the O2. They are really one of K's bands rather than mine but I must say they were very good live. At times I was getting so into it that I found playing with my G10 distracting! It was bump's first ever gig too - We think he/she enjoyed it although it is hard to tell.

Baby sitting our God daughter today. Tried to get some shots of her using the lens baby (see what I did there). It was quite a challenge to try and manipulate the lens baby quickly enough to track her as she moved around. My success was somewhat limited. :-)

This is fountain down by the river in Newbridge, Co Kildare where I live.
I walked down to the river while trying to lose a security guard who had decided that I looked shifty in the shopping centre and was following me for a while. I resited the urge to go down the escalator and back up again to see if he followed - it would have probably just annoyed him.
Anyway I'm feeling a bit of creative block again and I'm really taking photos for the sake of it. However Tuesday is St Patrick's day so I'll be going ot watch the parade through the town centre and should be able to get some good photos there.
As I am writing this text I suddenly thought I really should have taken some time to look at the fountain from different angles close ups and what have you; so that is my new goal. I'm going to try and look at the world differently.

This week we've moved out of our house while John the Painter decorates the baby's room and hall-stairs-landing. We're staying with Welsh Andrew in his luxurious guest suite. As I lay in bed this morning the sun was rising behind the house and casting its warm light across the room. One of Andrew's ornaments, a Japanese sake set, caught the sun's rays which I thought was nice so I took a picture.

I'm carrying only the wide angle zoom day to day at the moment and I'm trying to capture a mix of city landscapes and usually wide angle shots of interesting stuff. This falls into the former category I'd say.
