Whitby, for an FC United away game, but due to the distance, its appropriated as a ‘European Away’ – hostels are booked, excuses are given and debauched weekends of wandering around abbeys and eating ice cream in sub-zero temperatures are had.

No, but i have walked my eidgit of a dog, does that count?

Yes, yes, i know i was promising a pic a week, but things happened, things got in the way and i made a terrible start, so starting from…. NOW!

Those little critters do take up a herd of time… I have been holed up reading and reading and reading – mostly very dry books on theory of photography but also some books for inspiration, the scrapbook of cartier bresson which is fascinating if for no other reason than giving an insight into the process that he took – and he took some rubbish photos… before anyone points out the obvious here i should say that as someone who takes a lot of rubbish photos i feel i am qualified to say that. Needless to say he also took some of the greatest photographs ever, and all are present in this book.

The other book that is providing a huge inspiration is a book that i managed to get that i think was given away at an exhibtion of don mcphee’s work. Examples of Dons work can be found googling around but i just wanted something tangible to be able to flick through and it is both very inspirational and just downright interesting  – Don’s potrait of enoch powell is staggeringly good.

So i’m back on track and back in the game, nikon readied, CF cards wiped clean and ready to go… A more modest output this time – 1 a week.
