I know, I've a much happier shot lined up for tomorrow. There's something about 'gloomy' stuff that has a strange kind of beauty to me, I don't know what it is. I think I like the contrast of something that should be miserable looking pretty

I agree, it is beautiful, gloom and gothic make for fascinating imagery. Some of the best photo's I've ever seen are of stuff that could come out of a horror movie .

365.15.190109



SNOW! We got some snow. Totally randomly. Edinburger got a blizzard and then so did we. Only about 30 mins of it but really thick stuff. The good kind. Times like this that I wish I lived 5 minutes from Liverpool city center instead of 30. I wanna be there on Bold Street getting the action shots. Also the 14-24 really isn't a snow lens. Its covered instantly due to the front of the lens. I tried smiling but I felt a little silly standing outside my house trying for a snowy self portrait.

Great shot Pete. Ironically I was in Waterstones buying your book when the snow started and I had to walk around for 40 minutes freezing cold, getting pelted by HUUUGE snowflakes and trying to avoid some random disaster happening to this book!

I then spent the entire afternoon sat in soaking wet clothes (had to take off my shoes and socks - had to put plastic bags over my feet when I put the boots back on :/). Just glad I took today's shot early on or I'd not have got it at all!

Anyway, today's shot: 190109 : You ain't seen me, right?

OK - so I've been looking at this for ages now and can't see what it is.

Totally uninspired today. Really having to think about today's pic!

Yep, seen the eye now. It's like a magic eye picture, the more you stare the more you see

19th January. I have said the word 'cold' more than any other word today. But glass is easier to photograph than ice!
