We’re nearing the end of October, the clocks are going back an hour and once again I find myself trying to adjust to a new routine. I always used to be an early riser. When I started working full time in my late teens I’d usually be waiting for the 7:00am train, wide awake andContinue reading “Autumn”

Summer…
Back in 2015 I rediscovered cycling. Truth be told, I became a little obsessed with it. What started out as a desire to get a little fitter and improve my health became an all-consuming obsession that saw me take on 100-mile rides around south Wales and south-west England. I then really leant into it andContinue reading “Summer…”
Seasons…
We’re now in what feels (occasionally) like Spring. There’s life in the trees again; the birds are singing; my eyes are streaming from the tree pollen and there’s certainly a bit of warmth to that sun now. So, where are we? Well, the 365 project is still on, helped in no small part by theContinue reading “Seasons…”
December – An ending of sorts…
The year is finally at an end. Three hundred and sixty five photographs, one a day for twelve months. It has felt like a very long year. Then again, this was kinda the point. It’s all too easy to tune time out, ignoring the mundane for years before realising you’ve reached middle age and wonderingContinue reading “December – An ending of sorts…”
October…
Another month has gone, but we’re closing in on the end of 2021. Time seems to be flying by these days, but taking a photo each day does at least provide a bookmark for each day that passes. October is usually the time when the temperature drops, the rain starts to get a bit excitableContinue reading “October…”
September…
Would you believe it, a whole nine months have passed already. This month we crossed the 100-days-to-go point and oh boy, I really need to find some other things to photograph. Much of the warm and settled weather is now behind us and we now stare down the barrel of another 6 months of darknessContinue reading “September…”
Physical Media
This past year I’ve been doing something I didn’t think I’d be doing again. After getting rid of all of my CDs, DVDs, books and anything else that wasn’t bolted down, I’ve been re-buying many of them. Whilst streaming can be great for discovering things you might have missed, it’s all too easy for anContinue reading “Physical Media”
Music in 1991
I’m going to show my age now, but 30 years ago a raft of really important albums were released. Music, like most forms of art, can transport us back to what was probably a simpler time and for me, 1991 was a much simpler time –apart from the existential horror that is puberty. However, theContinue reading “Music in 1991”
May…
You may or may not have seen a little-known mini-series on the SciFi channel called The Langoliers. It was a TV adaptation of a Stephen King short story called Four Past Midnight. Anyway, it tells the story of a disparate bunch of people who fall asleep on a plane ride and wake up to findContinue reading “May…”
A Perfect Circle – Disillusioned
A Perfect Circle were a band I regretfully failed to give a proper airing. They emerged in the early 2000s when “new metal” was starting to hit the mainstream. However, unlike a lot of other bands that were around at the time, A Perfect Circle seem to have aged far better than most. This trackContinue reading “A Perfect Circle – Disillusioned”
