Arrgh, don't seem to get any time to do anything but work! (Not for long - I am off on hols soon).

Minty - Don't know if you got my email or not but if you are not up to anything at Christmas you are always welcome with us. Christmas this year is with mum to start with and then back to Leicester so see how you feel and let me know.

I have processed some photos for work tonight and I think I will post one as another Autumn entry.

On the lighter side of photography here are a few pictures to prove that the position of a shot is everything (thanks to Spencer for these).

16th November 2006

I'd love to stay and chat but I am working in the evenings now to get some of the backlog out of the way before I jet off to warmer climates.

I will try and get another Autumn shot up and come up with something interesting to say soon other than, hey, I am knackered from using the com-pewt-er.

14th November 2006

Got another Autumn shot here - had to take it quick as I don't think the leaves would last much longer.

What can I say, fookin' crap day today. Much more of this shit and I am off to Tenerife for good.

I think Ian from work put it best. Re-arrange the work week to 4 days off and 3 days on. Now that is a great idea! (Hang on that sounds like shift work. Sod that!)

Got some more people bugging me for photos. Honestly I swear, this is a hobby not work (although I take a lot for work).

Ian is off to Peebles for another wedding job so he should get some top shots there. I would direct you to his work so far but the Pbase photos are locked up. You can however see flash previews at his business site.

Oh god that reminds me. A friend is getting married and I bet I get roped into shooting something for it. No, no, no...

Right now, please hear my call primal forces and let me win a HUGE amount of bills in the massive Euro Millions draw on Friday so I can go live up a tree on an island a million miles away!! AAaaarrghhh!

Jesus I need to lay off the coffee. Wow, I don't really drink coffee. I must just be a wingy bastard! C'est la vie!

Nothing new from the Scally as I believe his offline.

I am getting more reports that imagi is inaccessible to some people. Lucky you!

That reminds me Minty, when you read this. Where the hell is my link on your blog you git?

13th November 2006

Minty has put some great shots up at his Menagerie with a great write-up!

12th November 2006

Nikki and I had a fantastic time in Larn-don last night. It was great to see Chris, Nik, John, Louisa and Rach again (it has been too long). Kristian, Nikki's friend from University, came out too with his girlfriend Amelia. After getting the Beers and a bite to eat at the Lowlander in Covent Garden we wandered around different bars (getting cocktails in) and pubs gradually getting more and more hammered. You know it is a sign of my age that I just can't seem to take as much as I used to. We partied on at a club but finally Nikki and I flaked out and went back to my friends house. My dirty stop-out mates carried on til gone 4 - I just don't know how they do it still.

Check out 'London' 2006 for the rest of the images.

If you are reading this guys, thanks! Big up Minty for putting us up as usual.

As I am typing this I am still feeling a bit grimm (I did only manage 3 hours of broken sleep last night). Early to bed methinks!

9th November 2006

I am looking forward to catching up with my friends in London this weekend. Though I swear Minty if we get marooned in central london in this frickn' cold I am sacrificing you to the taxi drivers for a quick lift home back to yours (after I liberate you of the house keys, of course). Ha! (it's no fair me typing this as he is still having trouble getting on imagi and can't read it anyway).

Had a curious incident with the dentist this week. He called me back in after my checkup over an xray he took of my mouth. However when I got there he preceeded to say actually, if it wasn't causing me pain now, that I should just leave it in there.

Why the frickin' hell he couldn't have told me that on the phone is quite beyond me. He did clean my teeth but didn't charge me for it. So what did he get out of it?

Confused? Yeah, me too!

The only thing I can think of is that he was running behind and chose to kick me into touch so he could catch up (I was waiting for almost an hour for the pleasure of his company and did start to feel he was behind a bit).

I dunno - I am starting to think Nikki is right. Not one person we have dealt with, of late, has done their job.

Sorry, I realise this is a bit of a rant but it IS actually starting to get to me a bit.

Oh well - fook it! Here is a photo of Nikki napping in site of Old John for the Autumn shots.

6th November 2006

Here is another Autumn shot.

5th November 2006

I did mean to get some shots of the fireworks but didn't manage to. Here is another Autumn shot instead, from a few photos I took last Sunday the 29th Octover.

3rd November 2006

My friends Luce and Minty have been complaining of problems with imagi. I am unaware of any connection problems with this site other than a few server hiccups now and again.

If anyone is having problems please contact me. Also can you specify what browser you are using in case that is an issue.

In the meantime here is another Autumn photo.

Also good luck with another photo shoot for Ian tomorrow. He really is racking up the happy customers and should be well on the way to having a nice, fat portfolio to show off.

I myself am sporting a nice fat stomach after a major Chinese session, courtesy of Perfect Wok. If you are ever near Mountsorrel, Loughborough, I recommend the take-away most highly!

1st November 2006 **UPDATE**

So much for playing Ghost Recon. I got interrupted and now Nikki's got the tv on. Oh well, here is another photo instead.

1st November 2006

It really feels as if I only just finished updating this site from last months change.

Well, the new theme has its first photo here.

Bad news: One of my number from back home cannot get together with the gang in London for our get-together. Neil, you will be missed dude.

Oh wow - Talking of Neils I have just nipped on Neil Gaimen's website. Man that brings back memories, skipping my sociology exam to go get my comics and books signed. Ah, youthful abandonment!

I was going to do a bit of surfin' but I think I am way over due on a GHOST RECON WARFIGHTER sessions. Sorry all, I haven't got that much to tell anyway and I wana shoot stuff...
