Out to lunch

A brief mention of corsets and people flood to the site, what does that say about the internet? On the model front, talks are progressing, the major drawback for me is that as a photographer I’m not very creative, I can see a good shot out of a scene in front of me, but I have great difficulty in manufacturing a photo in my head and then creating it. So beautiful model, fantastic clothes, but until I get it all together and start shooting I’m not sure how it will turn out.

Now a small rant, women who drive 4x4’s and people carries, I known that may include some of you and obviously this is not aimed at you, I’m sure you know just how wide you are (the vehicle that is) and that you can reverse in a strait line or round a corner (which ever is needed at the time, not just what happens when you hit the gas). I have to drive round our small town during the day, when the women that lunch are about, and i am forever getting delayed by their inability to fit their vehicle through gaps or into parking spaces or out of parking spaces or that if they can’t find a space they just stop where they are and get out! Even more annoying is the fact that they think that they have a god given right to park in mother and child spaces, even when the child is 10 miles away in the local school, or worst parking in the disabled spaces as they are closer to the shops and have more room to get in and out of. Is it a case of a large vehicle compensating for a small life?

I just hate big cars, full stop.

No need for them, and certainly no need for the tanks that currently are taking over our streets - the big super-deluxe 4x4's. Polluting, evil status symbols.

And, to be frank, I've always been very happy with the size of my penis so I've never really needed a big car...

You sound like somebody that does not have any children and how can your local school be 10 miles away, just a thought.Nice pics.

What a great line!

And now you have me wondering....(fortunately I drive a small car but I've been known to park a 50seater bus as close to the curb as is possible - and not by mistake either)

Hey I have a small car and hate big gass guzzlers driven by women OR very inconsiderate men. One man nearly took the front end off mine the other day just because he could.

I have a tiny car - but then people think it is a good idea to try and be a bully to me on the road just because I have a little car and try to bash into me with their 4x4s. They don't even look when I'm reversing out of the parking space or they'll shout abuse.
People are weird when they're like that. Maybe that's why I HATE driving, but do it because it has to be done.

Blog Action Day - Climate change, virgin birth, flat earth.

Climate change, I have to admit that I’m very skeptical about the existence of climate change and the whole global warming thing. My basis for this is that we (humans) have only been here for such a short time and for a large period of that were not really in a position to judge what was happening around us. An even smaller period of time is the length of time we have been able to accurately measure things like temperature or the size of the ice caps, so to be able to say that things are changing outside of the norm, when we really have no idea what the norm is, is like seeing a snow flake and predicting the start of an ice age. Now I known that lots of very important people seem to have been convinced that there is a problem but remember past world leaders and experts also had some strange ideas (flat earth, virgin birth, communist ruling the plant, woman’s heads over heating if they learn too much). Are they right or are they wrong, I really do not know, I personally think that we do

I wrote this as part of the second days post: “365 different photos, I’m daunted and intrigued at the same time. Daunted with the task of taking the images and writing words to tie it all together and intrigued at what will be here in a year’s time. Will anybody see this? Will it make any sense?” 70,849 words, 367 photos, 3014 comments, and 43358 visitors from 164 countries later and it’s all done, I’m 42 and have the answer to those questions. Yes somebody has seen it and no it really does not make much sense, but that really does not seem to matter that much. I wanted to mark the passing of a year in my life and have ended up with a fantastic record of a year in both words and pictures. More than that it has changed my life, I have gained a confidence I never had, I can write without fear, my photography skill has improve and I realise that you can do nearly anything if you work at it. One of my dreams was that it would become a “blog of note”, I still smile at the feeling’s that hit

Blog of note!

You known how it is, you’ve loads to do and not much time, but with a little luck and a bit of careful planning and you can fit it all in and than someone makes you BLOG OF NOTE!!!!!! WOW, Arghhhhhhhhhh!. From around 25 readers to 3451 by the end of the day, and what a post to have on the blog, I nearly did not write it, it was very personal and maybe too private to share, but I known that there are others, like me, out there and thought that if it just helped one person it made the risk worth while, well its shared now. Now this is pressure, writing knowing that lots of people will read this, do I make a grand statement, do I get stage fright and dry up, no I’ll just babble on as I always do, it’s worked so far. First, Blog of note people, thank you, this really means a lot to me, I’ve read most of the blogs of notes since I started blogging and feel stunned to be in their company. Next, if you’re reading this blog for the first time, welcome, make your self at home, there’s
