Don't apologise, I need more people taking mobile shots so I'm not the only one

And you still take a better photo than me, git

Noise was my enemy on my shot too

I like yours Jen, it's very stock photoish. Similar to Vix's job interview one. THe noise sits well on that type of shot.

Thanks

Oh man, I am waaay behind! Still taking the pics though.

Will have to sort them out this weekend.

Since I was a little girl I’ve loved technology, especially computers. From long hot summers that I spent inside playing manic miner and jet set willy on my spectrum 48k to the first pc we owned - which if I recall correctly, was a 386 which ran on DOS 4.0 (pre Windows).I remember the old internet connection that took 10 minutes to start and at least 2 minutes to load a very basic, very boring page, but wow it was exciting.

When I went to college to join a photo-journalism course I was introduced to the world of the Apple Macintosh. WOW. It had a mouse and a gui and everything. I loved it. I remember drag and drop being a revelation, and the floppy drive was built in. Over the years I developed a great love of computers, and always tried not to get involved in the old mac v windows debates - mac haters and mac fanboys tend to annoy me equally. As did the old assumption that I only used Apple macs because I didn’t have a clue what I was doing, or because I thought the colours were pretty. Despite the fact that I grew up with computers, I can build one myself from parts and did it in my spare time as a teenager and have worked in IT for most of my adult life, I couldsn’t have made a conscious decision to use an Apple Mac, surely??

Ironically, I usually knew more about the inner workings of the computer used by the person making such assumptions, and guess who they used to ring for help when it went wrong??

I use both windows machines and apples on a regular basis and love them for their differences. However with the advent of the ipod/iphone revolution, so many of the mac haters have now conceeded and purchased an apple product. I think it’s a completely personal choice, but I will always love the style and fluidity that comes with macs, and using one, and that is why I used our ibook as today’s subject.

Much maligned and loved in equal measure.

23rd Jan. Phil has Friday afternoons off and usually does car stuff. However it was too wet today so he rearranged the living room instead. Finally most of the Lego is in one place!

24th Jan. Did car stuff today but got cold so came in. Wish I could bring the cars in like this one. Would make life easier!

Sallydog hurt her foot last night and so was allowed to lie on the sofa and be pampered. She adopted a very sorrowful look and spent the evening sighing a lot and waving her poorly foot about a lot. Looks like she stood on something sharp, but it’s a lot better this morning. However, she’s been allowed to lie on the sofa again so she’s dragging it out as long as possible as you can see by the position she’s holding her sore foot in

Poor Sally

Goggles looked at the pic with interest though. She'd love a dog

I think you're all doing really well

vix · 24-01-2009, 19:46

I'm pleased with what I'm doing. Some days the photo is easy, like Friday, but some days I haven't done anything interesting, or at least that I can portray in a photo so I have to go looking for stuff. It's interesting.
