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 andContinue reading “Consolidation”

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 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…”
Around we go again…
After spending all of last year taking a photo every day, for some reason I decided to go around again. This could be another year where I rarely leave the village, or do anything remotely interesting. So what on Earth possessed me to carry on with it? Consistency Truth be told, forcing myself out ofContinue reading “Around we go again…”
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…”
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.Continue reading “November…”
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”
