I took this shot on the same day as the shots in this post. Taken on my way to the train station on a sunny Friday afternoon after finishing work early at 3Sixty.

P365.19 – Day 19 of Project 365: Birthday boy
March 14th, 2010
OK, so this should be day 30 or something but as I’ve been bad at taking pics everyday and not wanting to cheat on this project, I am posting in sequence, even if they are days or weeks apart. I think this project should be Project 730!
Anyway, I went up to Brighton to visit my mate, Ed for his birthday and also to take a few bits of furniture up for him as he’s recently moved house and relocated from Bath. Ed has a lush flat, just off the sea front about 5 mins walk from the Pier. I had a great weekend and it was great to see Ed again and meet his new-ish girlfriend.
Here’s Ed:

P365.18 – Day 18 of Project 365: Reflection
March 8th, 2010
I should have posted this weeks ago but didn’t really want to post it due to not really liking it very much. Still, I’m trying to make up for lost time on this project.

Photography project failing
March 8th, 2010
It’s been three weeks since I posted last. I’m not doing very well, am I? Busy work, server fiddling and a lack of inspiration and energy have meant that I’ve hardly touched my camera since the 16th of Feb. Taking on a photo a day project is a fair undertaking and it’s amazing the pressure that builds up when you aren’t getting it done.
I need a good kick up the backside and to get back on it. Thing is, I’m not sure if I should retrospectively post photos or to just start up again from now. I think I will post what photos I have taken and be better at using my camera everyday from today.
I took this the other day after working in the 3Sixty offices in Bristol. I finished work just after lunch and Pete (@markedup) recommended it as the weather was great and the light up there was very good. Thanks Pete!

Creative Anxiety, pipe dreams & doubt
February 17th, 2010
It’s been a funny couple of weeks in a creative sense. I’ve been really quite busy work wise; working over in Bristol for a week on a short contract, which while it was good to be working with other people again, did sap me a little due to not being used to getting up at 6am – it’s been a while since I had to commute! I took my camera with me every day with the intention of getting some good shots around Bristol but I found I got nothing. I tried…found a nice graveyard with some old and gnarly gravestones, a really interesting place up in Clifton, but I couldn’t seem to get my eye in; My perception of light was awry, resulting in me getting my settings all wrong (I work in manual mode), taking badly composed shots and generally finding the whole process very frustrating. This seems to have been the case for the last two weeks and it almost feels as though I am new to this whole photography lark.

P365.17 – Day 17 of Project 365: Lemon Drizzle
February 16th, 2010
And fast forward a few days as I’d not been able (read ‘had no inspiration’) to get any shots and the few i did try to get were utter crap, so i ignored my 365 Project. This was taken on Saturday 13th Feb whilst at my dads house for my cousins birthday. My dads partner, Maggie, had made this rather epic Lemon Drizzle cake that was so begging to be devoured. I managed to hold off till after dinner…
Maggies awesome Lemon Drizzle cake.
P365.16 – Day 16 of Project 365 – Flat
February 16th, 2010
Some flats I saw on my way to work when I was contracting at 3Sixty last week. Forgive the rubbish quality of this and the next couple of posts – My eye seems to be out at the moment. I have also been really bad with my 365 project and have only made two posts in the last 10 days. Hey ho, work gets in the way i guess.
Some flats near Clifton.

P365.14 – Day 14 of Project 365: Boat on a rope
February 5th, 2010
And here is my 14th photo of the project. Two weeks in and only 50 to go – that seems like a hell of a way away. I had a meeting about some freelance work over in Bristol today and of course, took my camera. This is obviously one shot I took there. OK, Im tired of typing. It’s all crap that’s in my head that I am typing out for reasons I am not sure of. I mean who wants to read shite like this? Look, it’s a picture I took, I like taking pictures.

P365.13 – Day 13 of Project 365: Laying in wait
February 4th, 2010
Don’t worry, it’s not real. I was playing Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 2 and as it was pretty close to the 3rd of Feb (day 13), I thought it would make quite a good photo for the project…well, it’s different.
This is mid way through a Special-Ops level set in Russia; It’s a stealth mission where you have to sneak through without getting discovered…or snipe everyone and their dogs and get through the level with no one standing. Either way, it’s pretty intense and a very enjoyable bit of escapism late on a week night.
