Good causes: Cancer Research Race for life

Monday, June 14th, 2010

A note left in the Reflection area at Race for Life

On Saturday my dad and I drove up to Bristol to pick up my sister, Ruth, who was running the Race for Life – an excellent charity event set up by Cancer Research to help fight cancer. We picked her up at 13:30 and headed up to the Clifton Downs at the top of Bristol for a picnic. The weather was lush and having not been up on the downs before, it was nice to see lots of green in the city.

Around 285,000 new cases of cancer are diagnosed each year in the UK. At Cancer Research UK we are working hard to improve our understanding of cancer and develop better ways to prevent, diagnose and treat the disease – Cancer Research

P365.20 – Day 20 of Project 365: Towering

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

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.

Photography project failing

Monday, 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!

P365.16 – Day 16 of Project 365 – Flat

Tuesday, 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

Friday, 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.

P365.5 – Day 5 of Project 365: Zeb

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

Day five:

Mandys cat, Zeb sitting by the fire.

Selected this as my day 5 shot as I had taken another one earlier in the evening when I was in Bristol, shortly after a successful client meeting and securing some new work for next month. I didn’t really like my first shot – it felt that I’d shot it out of desperation. The one I chose is of my mate Mandys cat, Zeb. He’s an old beast (16 i think) but looks good for his age. He rewarded me for taking his picture by coughing up a rather disgusting furball all over my trousers and jumper, which were on the sofa, just above my head. I can’t thank him enough for that gift.
