Tonight they officially turned on the town Christmas lights. We didn't actually attend the ceremony but snatched a few pics whilst driving through the town. Apparently this year's theme is - credit crunch...

My new crutches ...

Regulars here will know I've been suffering with a bad knee, I dislocated it boxing a few weeks ago and it was on the mend - or so I thought! I stood up from my desk today and the knee just gave way - so it looks like I will be back to the hospital tomorrow. Today's picture is the best I could manage.

I am feeling pretty pleased as I have managed another daylight shot and outside too. This was a tough one as we had to shelter in the pub whilst waiting for high tide. Given the gale force winds the waves were actually pretty disappointing.

I saw this lovely old Bentley parked outside the Townhall and couldn't resist taking a quick snap.

At the start of this week I decided my theme would be strangers. I was going to venture outside and talk strangers into having their pictures taken. I failed at the first hurdle which involved going outside during daylight hours. I really fancy trying again but I think I will have to leave it until the summer. There is a Flickr group called '100 Strangers' if anyone fancies a real challenge. I started once but didn't get very far.

Today's offering is another abstract that nobody will guess - if you do you probably need therapy! I really am running out of ideas...

365 - a picture a day gives you the perfect opportunity to give the outside world an an insight into your life. Well, mine is very boring at the moment - I spend most of my time in front of this thing and rarely see the outside world... Bring on the revolution!

Taxi duty again tonight so little chance for a picture...

As I put on my left shoe yesterday I felt an obstruction - I pushed a little harder like you do. I was struck with nausea and dizziness - well not quite but I did feel something sting my toe. I pulled my foot out of the shoe and it was followed by a big angry bee. I hopped around and grabbed my camera - the bee should have been yesterday's picture but it was very stroppy. Anyway that's why yesterday's picture was rubbish, so on to today. My toe is swollen like a sausage - my wife said a chipolata! I did take a picture but I really don't like feet so I photographed my shoes. For those of you who are worried my foot is swollen but I think I will survive...

The orange theme is finished! I need something more interesting and challenging, so this week's theme is strangers. I thought I'd start with the strangest person in the house.

The theme continues. Tonight I enlisted the help of my artistic director - thanks Hannah!

The orange theme continues - I need to get out more.

The 'orange' theme continues with a quick snap of the beech hedge in our front garden. Not very exciting!

It's been a busy day - I have probably taken 800+ shots but none of them orange! So today's pic is simple slice of orange lit from below.

This weeks theme is 'orange', I don't know how long the theme will last!

Marley likes having his picture taken. Since he was a puppy he has always been in front of the camera - he is a natural model but I can't get him to smile.

I saw this on DIY Photography and had to give it a try. With a bit more time and attention to detail I am pretty sure you could create some fantastic results. I have posted a few more of my pictures to Flickr - and a really bad setup shot.

Today I went to a University open day in London with Thomas. We visited the London College of Communications - one of the universities he is considering to do a photography degree. I have to say I am very envious of the opportunity - I quite fancy it myself. We didn't get to see too many examples of the student's work but from what I did see out of focus is the trend.

The dog's got mail!! I can't believe the vet sent a letter to the dog - I was thinking of changing anyway but this has made my mind up.
...and the MAC is very close to be thrown, I have resorted to the good old PC to upload today's picture.

New toy .... and I've managed to upload my picture to Flickr and do my blog post. Having always been a Windows user this does feel a little strange - a bit like driving a left hand drive car!

We didn't get up until late today but the weather has been dreadfull so I don't feel too guilty. The most interesting event of the day was dinner and in particular the Yorkshire puddings. Lovely!!
