Creativity, curiosity, and code
Not a great photo but it documents Sunday. A few years ago I went to watch loads of friends run the Swindon Half Marathon. The next year I heard that they had cycle marshals that patrol the route between static marshalling points. I figured that, if I was going to stand and watch, I may […]
A funny and trivial photo today. This isn’t about composition, lighting, effects, or depth of field. It’s all about taking coffee on your bike! We went, with trepidation, to the National Childbirth Trust ‘nearly new’ sale today. I suggested not taking the car as parking would be a nightmare and it’s easy cycling and walking […]
Today Sally made two big piles of yummy cookies. I liked the contrast between the colours of the chocolate and cinnamon versions.

Full mouth-watering gallery, including original image, below:

Have been playing with a new iPhone app for making cool monochrome pictures called ‘Noir’. It’s pretty awesome, especially when combined with a beautiful evening sky at dusk. Here’s a full gallery including the originals:
