My girlfriend is AWESOME!!

Check out this blog people. Quite possibily the best blog I have EVER read.

Although, I did have the absolute pleasure of talking to D' about it and have her going off on one for the whole 45min duration of our conversation today....she is awesome!

rant, motherfucking rant.

new edit...

A while ago I took down the set on my Flickr account called This Is Me. As some of you know, it was a set of experimental nude photographs.

I have decided to re-add them but with a difference.

I have added a few textures to some of them, not all, to give them a slightly different feel.

Visit my Flickr to see more.

your comments would be appreciated...

love is...

Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion’s starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don’t see that.

It seems to me that love is everywhere.

Often it’s not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it’s always there:

fathers and sons,
mothers and daughters,
husbands and wives,
boyfriends,
girlfriends,
old friends.

When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge…they were all messages of love.

If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaky feeling you’ll find that love actually is…all around.

i am no one special...

I thought I would share a quote I found on Tumblr today...

“I am no one special. Just a common man with common thoughts. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who ever lived. I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul and for me that has always been enough.”

a small tale...

Just when I was starting to think that this Sunday was going to end just like any other Sunday, I get a small surprise

NO, it's nothing rude you dirty minded people.....but it is SUPER CUTE!!

My father was building a new rabbit hutch today for Mary Jane, the rabbit. When he came to move the existing, broken and quite frankly FUBAR'd hutch he discovered a small nest of mice.

They, of course, all legged it in about a million different directions, but, as the day went on he kept on noticing Alfie, my sisters dog, playing with things. Turns out, it was baby mice. The little bugger.

So...tonight whilst wondering around the garden and enjoying the last rays of today's sun I spotted movement in the flower bed and there he was, the cutest little bugger I have seen. He was tiny, so I picked him up and was thinking of what to do with him when my mum grabs my camera and suggests a photo.

After taking a few photographs we found one more! I remember noticing where the adult mouse ran off to so I got the old little straw bird house down from a tree, packed it loosely with straw and sat the two little fellas in there. Set the house down behind the tree in which the mummy mouse had ran, put out a little rabbit food and left them be. The plan, or hope, is that mum will follow the trail of food and find her little mice.

I warn you....totally cute photo's to follow!

my girl...

This picture was taken by my girl, just one of the many email photographs she sends me.

I used a text overlay from an image I picked up on Tumblr which came originally from here www.flickr.com/photos/jenosaur/3337844816/

What the eye's don't see...

This was taken whilst visiting family near Buckenham. It is a photograph of the back of what appears to be a lovely cottage that sits on the Grand Union Canal. It's amazing what you find if you just venture to where you are not expected to go.

I am really enjoying playing with textures on my photography at the moment. You really can change the way an image looks and feels in just a few simple steps.

Watch out as I experiment with textures a whole lot more...

(used two textures to create this shot)
