5.30am


canon eos 40d, tokina 12-24mm lens, tripod

sunlight coming through the blinds in my room this morning.
my sleeping pattern is not what it should be.
i like the blue and the little bits of detail here and there, like the fish tank.
joe and phil woke me up today, they are the best alarm clock ever.

Happy birthday charlie


canon eos 40d, tokina 12-24mm lens

my little brother charlie turned 5 years old today.
this is him ripping open one of his presents.
this photo is more 'arty' than normal, although i'd like to think that it gives a sense of the commotion and excitement that comes with opening presents, all blurry and fast.
i spent most of this afternoon putting together one of the larger star wars lego ships he received, it was one of the most intellectually challenging things i have done in months.
ages 5+

West bay panorama


canon eos 40d, tokina 12-24mm lens

chris, phil and rhia on west bay beach after having a nice sunday brunch.
i like the dramatic sky and i think its funny how chris looks like hes been stuck onto the image after it was taken, unavoidable.
this image does look so much better if you click on it and view it large, you can see it in loads more detail.

Sunny walking


canon eos 40d, tokina 12-24mm lens

phil, chris, tom and joe walk into town to buy a frisbee and stumble upon mark.
the weather has been so so nice recently, i hope it stays like this, it gives me something to get up for and makes me want to do things.
i like the reds and the blues and joes shirt.
also i think andinmyhands is going to be a .com soon, exciting times.

Football


canon eos 40d, tokina 12-24mm lens

me, johnny, tim and mark went for this years first kick about today.
it was good fun and mark made us all look silly with his well honed football skills and shark like physique.
its starting to feel like summer.

Parrot

canon eos 40d, tokina 12-24mm lens

this is my grandma and grandads pet parrot called dizzy.
he can talk
he imitates dog barks, says hello and laughs when you laugh, he also has a bell that he pecks when he wants something.
bossy...
in unrelated news i got an email from this guy called pete millson saying that he liked my work, which is always lovely.
hes taken photos for the guardian and NME and loads of other publications so obviously his photos are pretty good.
check him and his work out here http://petemillson.wordpress.com/

The grand national


canon eos 40d, tokina 12-24mm lens

a customer gets his betting slip checked by a Ladbrokes employee.
me and some friends placed bets as well and spread £10 each over four horses; we nearly won, but right at the last minute our hopes began to fade as 'dont push it' crept past 'black apalachi'.
i dont think ive ever gone from super excited to fuming angry so quickly.
theres always next year.

Goldfish hanger


canon eos 40d, tokina 12-24mm lens

my goldfish luxemburg, in a bag, suspended from a hook in my old bedroom door.
i had to keep him there whilst i cleaned out his bowl, before i moved him up to my grans house.
this was the best place to put him as its out of reach for my cat.
google analytics tells me that 36 people visited my blog yesterday, mental.
