Future Thinking and Unthinking
A couple of big US tech firms made some big announcements today. Amazon will get the lion’s share of attention for its new Amazon Fire Phone. Essentially it’s a mini version of their Kindle Fire, using their forked version of Android, but with a phone. The big excitement is that it’s 3D. Well all phones…

The Thames Tunnel
Last weekend TFL allowed some guided tours through Brunel’s Thames Tunnel between Rotherhithe and Wapping. I was lucky enough to get to walk through and of course I took some photos. More photos over on Flickr.

Women’s Tour of Britain – Stage 4 – Cheshunt to Welwyn (via Hertford)
In spite of the decidedly uncertain weather prospects, I headed out to Hertford this morning for the fourth stage of the inaugural Friends Life Women’s Tour of Britain. Hertford constitutes “on my doorstep” in terms of these things, and the obvious place to go was on the climb out of Hertford. I got there unnecessarily…

Women’s Tour of Britain – Stage 2 – Bedford
On a fairly wet Thursday, I travelled up to Bedford to see the end of the second stage of the inaugural Friends Life Women’s Tour of Britain. Such has been the paucity of strong events (and lack of equality with the men), that this is already a contender for the biggest stage race in the…

Friends in Two Floors
A photo I liked and that deserved a wider viewing to just Facebook. Incidentally, it’s good to see that Flickr has properly updated embedding now in its new look allow you to use either iframes, or good honest HTML. Both have their place in my view.

The Years of La Dolce Vita
There’s no doubt that La Dolce Vita is one of my favourite films of all time. The glamour and sophistication of Roman society is there in gorgeous black and white. And it seems that the film actually helped develop the world which it depicted. Rome’s famous Cinecittà studios were perfect for big Hollywood productions such…

Aldwych on Exposure
I’m continuing to play around with the best way of displaying photos online, and a new kid on the block is Exposure. They use high resolution photos that fully utilise screen real estate to make pleasingly simple photo layouts. Interestingly, although they’re free for your first three sets of photos, you need to pay after…

A Norfolk Sunset

The Cathedral of the Marshes
Blythburgh Church – the Cathedral of the Marshes – overlooking the River Blyth, near Southwold. I think this is my favourite shot from the series of photos I made recently in Suffolk.

Kite Aerial Photography #3 – Christmas Success
What better day than Christmas Day to have a third attempt at some kite aerial photography? My first couple of attempts were disappointing to say the least. I’ve found it tricky to find both a location and enough wind to get the kite up supporting the camera, but not too much wind to cause me…

Suffolk
I recently spent a few days in Suffolk. My camera was never far away. This is an Exposure gallery of some my photos. Just playing around with the new photo publishing system. I think it takes work to get it right. And here’s a taster of the video I shot while I was there. Slow…
