Routine
After deciding to take some time off from taking photos every day, I have come to realise that it wasn’t the taking photos that my body and mind required, but the motivation to get out there and do something. We are now in May…very nearly June (uh oh..) and I may have taken less than…

Saying goodbye to 2022
It is the last day of December 2022. Tomorrow another year begins, bringing with it the hopes that somehow 2023 will be better than the last. It’s also the end of the second 365 I’ve completed on the bounce. A substantial 700 photographs that I was at least happy with on the day they were…

Consolidation
Way back in 2015 I started a little blog about cycling in Cardiff. It was called Cardiff By Bike and it was my way of learning and engaging with the realities of cycling in Wales’ capital city. Part of the reason I wanted to write about cycling was because so much of the internet and…

Autumn
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 and…

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 and…

November…
You would think that after ten months of doing this, the eleventh month would be a breeze. It wasn’t. As winter approaches and the days get shorter, suddenly it is dark by the time I finish work, so I either have to shoot in the dark or race out for half hour during my break.…

August…
Where is the time going, eh? It’s September and we’re heading back into the darkness and well, slightly colder rain. It also means that we’re closing in on 100 days to go until the end of this current photo-a-day project. Keepers… One big reason for forcing yourself to shoot every day is that whilst there…

March…
As months go March was pretty good, at least in the photographic sense. Spring was most definitely in the air and the sunshine we did have had a touch more warmth in it than we’d have in “winter” mode. However, I’m already feeling as though I’m exhausting the points of interest within the neighbourhood. It’s…

February 2021 – The Difficult Second Album…
As we headed into February, I could sense that there would be headwinds this month. Another month of not really going anywhere new, treading old ground both physically and metaphorically. January gets a lot of flack for where it sits in the calendar. It’s yet another dark month straight after the trials of Christmas are…

Hello again, world…
A couple of years ago I had a photo blog to my name, but then something happened that forced me to take a long hard look inside in the hope of finding a way forward. I got rid of a heck of a lot of stuff, physically and virtually, including the photo site. Now it…
