Today begins the last year of my twenties. It is far down on my list of important thoughts though. What is important is my new family; my wonderful daughter Leah and her amazing mom, Fiona, my loving partner in life.

Friday, October 3rd, 20081. Open a new file in your computer.
2. Name it “Robert Mugabe”.
3. Send it to the Recycle Bin.
4. Empty the Recycle Bin.
5. Your PC will ask you. “Do you really want to get rid of “Robert Mugabe ?”
6. Firmly Click “Yes.”
7. Feel better?
Tomorrow we’ll do George Bush.
(Not for us Mac heads but it made me laugh, in a sad way. Bugger, so negative. George and Mad Bob just need hugs I reckon. Maybe a pint down at the local and a good talking to by their moms. But definitely loads of hugs. And counseling.)
Photographing the Olympic games
Monday, August 25th, 2008
Photographs like that remind me that photography can be a very unglamorous and ultimately worthless job. Jostling for position, hoping you get a different shot to the guy next to you with the same gear but taking the same photo in the end. How many recording eyes do we need one moment? When should some step back and let a few cover it?
Of course as any photographer who has taken a photo of [insert famous landmark here] can tell you; the lure of taking the quintessential photograph is enough to push through the “a million people have already done it” problem. Your take, your individual view of something that others see differently.
I still wouldn’t want to be amongst that lot though.
(Some more great photos of the games.)
