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…

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 wondering…

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.…

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 excitable…

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 darkness…

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 an…

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…
