London Book Barge
This made me look twice as I walked through Paddington basin. It's always a treat to walk along the canal in a morning on the way to either of our Paddington clients, especially when it isn't chucking-it down with rain. The sight of the floating bookshop really made my morning though as it is such a beautifully bonkers, brilliant, British thing to do. By lunchtime he had quite a crowd round the gangplank; good luck to him.

R has been busy making cakes for J to sell in work.
I know I said "composition" and "lighting" but this one is about me being inspired by a very determined nine year-old!

A-picture-a-day (ish)
It's not often that I'm inspired by a programme on Channel 5. To be honest it's bloody rare for me to actually watch Channel 5 as I have never been particularly impressed with its mixture of low-quality, lifestyle magazine programming and old films that I carefully avoided when they were in the cinema.
Still, a programme on how to take better photographs (I think they may have had loftier aspirations for it) caught my eye so I gave it a go. It didn't greatly change my opinion of Channel 5 but something that the presenter said has stuck in my mind.
He was making the point that we all have cameras with us, pretty much all the time, in our phones. In addition the fact that it is "only a camera phone" a) isn't true because it's probably at least half-way decent and b) shouldn't be an excuse for not thinking about composition, lighting, etc. As a serial chopper-off of heads and as someone who's subjects are often a dot in the distance this rang a bell.
So I'm going to have a go at a bit of a photo diary. I can't guarantee that every shot will be inspirational (or even interesting to anyone other than me) but I will attempt to capture things that seemed important or amusing at the time. Target will be more than one per month but less than one per day.
Let's see how it goes.
