MEH! No Parking!
MEH! No Parking! Ah graffiti! That most visible of teenage expression on our streets and walls. Anyway, I can’t remember where I took this.

Cameras get easier to use all the time, even a pig could use them! Pearls Before Swine on May 8th featured this comic strip. Not quite in the same league as What The Duck for photographers but a very funny comic for everyone else! 🙂

EI-128 ready to fly
EI-128 ready to fly Here’s another shot of EI-128. Following my last shot I moved to the other side of the glider to capture some of the beach and hills behind. This was originally shot at an angle to get as much vertical space in but I rotated the image and filled in the sand…

Heatons Awaken Your Senses
Heatons Awaken Your Senses I jumped at the chance to make this photo when I saw the colour of the Heatons bag and the Super Valu advert on the bus shelter. Only later did I notice just how well the red or wine colours match! Is there a subtle marketing ploy at play here? Aperture…
