how are the fish Jen?

Lovely shot Kate, I'd love to live that close to a gorgeous old church.

Sorry I've been busy and not able to keep up with this. Just a quick flick through and thats an ace snow shot Kate.

365.24.280109

A foggy drive home after an enjoyable night out at the Redeye meet. There was an interesting slideshow on climate change that focused on anything but the polar ice caps. The great thing about Redeye and these events is that it reminds me that photography isn't landscapes, flowers, kittens, portraits. Photography is capturing light. You just have to know what the light is you want to capture.

365.25.290109

Beachballing. *sigh* Trying to sort out a library with 80,000 images hard and especially so when the damn computer hangs every few minutes. I ordered an extra 1gb of ram which will hopefully fix it.

--------

365.26.300109

The Arena art auction at Leaf Tea Shop. Very packed out, which took me by surprise. Good event and the auctioneer is brilliant. Although it turns out he hated La Machine because he didn't get to see it. The print I auctioned was of La Machine. Doh.

The full video is on vimeo.

Edward Chambre-Hardman's hat. This is his hat! Haha I love it. At his exhibition at Victoria Gallery they had his frickin hat! As if his hat was as important as the camera he used. Haha. I don't want to sound egotistical at all but he is basically me. I'm not just saying that to big myself up either because Metro called me the modern day Chambre-Hardman last year which was mind blowing. But even before that I could really see alot of myself in the man.

I visited his house on Rodney Street, which everyone should do, and it was eye opening. The guy never threw anything away. Its a small thing but I never do that either. He was a complete perfectionist. He would spend hours working on one photo in the darkroom. He was a master at "Photoshop" or darkroom technology back in the day. He was brilliant at black and white photography. I wish I could remember his quote about why black and white works so well. Its so similar to what I say. I just love his work. The way he's captured the city during a time I would have loved to have lived in.

He lived near me at one point in Barnston. He wore a hat. He didn't throw anything away. He was a strong believer in black and white. He tried to convey what *he* saw to the viewer. He spent his time photographing people n places in Liverpool.

I love that they kept his hat.

365.28.010209

Its snowing.

--------

365.29.020209

Yey its really snowing now. But I have so much work to do.

--------

365.30.030209

Wrapping up prints for clients. The "fun" side of doing prints. You have to print, mount, frame, wrap and ship them. Thankfully my Dad helps.

--------

365.31.040209

Um so I kinda misunderstood what a client asked me. I thought they wanted a photo of my favourite gear but it was with my favourite gear. I spent about an hour or so trying to take a nice photo of my D700. *doy* Still, its a nice photo.

--------

365.32.050209

My little netbook. Its a steal at £150 and so far all I use it for is IRC n stuff while watching TV. Its great though because its so small and light I can pop it in my manbag and away I go. I have a laptop but its tied into 3 external HD's now. Its not really a laptop anymore.

--------

365.33.060209

Star trail fail again. Damn clouds.

--------

365.34.070209

Yer so I didn't get around to taking a shot today. I've been wrapped up editing the HDR guide book. Its an insanely gruellng process but it has to be done.

--------

365.35.080209

Walking walking walking. I'm trying to walk every day now. I'm going to take my D700 + 50mm too because walking around my home town is quite eye opening. When you stop and look around its easy to spot that things actually happen here.

--------

365.36.090209

Horseys! A couple of horses at Landican on my daily walk. You're meant to do 10,000 steps and I did around 8,000. I'm sure I could do 10,000 and it would be tiring but thats the point.

Been checking on them every day and clearing the ice for them.

I mentioned to Dee yesterday about Raf. Raf isn't very old but since getting him, he comes everywhere that Phil doesn't!

Raf came with me last year to see the Queen's flypast at RAF Waddington, he sat in Sakura's passenger seat (with his seatbelt on of course!) and then on to my parents for a few days of quiet revision.

He came to hospital with me, that was probably the only coherent thing I said to Phil when he left me on the first night - (bring Raf!) He then stayed with me throughout the entire time I was unable to walk!

And last weekend he was back in my bed trying to be a Phil replacement. Too many legs though!

Oh he's wearing socks because every time socks went missing I would blame Raf, for eating them. Phil gave him some of his own and now the socks are staying put. He's also partial to the little glow necklaces you get at clubs and bonfires so I always have to get one for him.

Kitten · 10-02-2009, 20:56

I think I've met Raf haven't I??

Remember these? I know you can still get them but I'm talking to those who remember them from when they were little, before they went into the wilderness for a while. Now they're back. And bizzarely, they're bigger than they were before!

lostkat · 10-02-2009, 22:34

I think Raf is a great idea, Vix

Lovely pic Kitten. You're getting the hang of your new camera... I can tell

I love the star trail one Pete, despite any clouds. It's just a really beautiful effect with the lights/colours. We've had a couple of gorgeous sunsets round our way recently, but I've not realised in enough time to collect my gear and get to a good spot. Damnit!!!

Kitten · 11-02-2009, 21:00
