That warm feeling

Great news, I’ve had a picture posted on another blog, pictures poetry prose, basically the blog posts images from other bloggers and then invites people to be inspired by the photos and write pieces of poetry or prose about them. My shot was posted yesterday just after I had posted so missed out being mention then, but it has given me the chance to read some of the words inspired by my image. It is really great to see my images having an effect on people at a different level than I normally see.
After mentioning yesterday that I had a burger maker for Christmas I would like to mention my gift to me, well it was more a collaboration with money from other people as well. Given that your budget was unlimited, so that you could buy just what you wanted, not having to compromise at all for any reason, what would you buy? For me that chance arrive just after Christmas, a combination of the right amount of spare cash, coupled with a fantastic sale offer, lead to me being able to buy a new walking jacket, but its more than that, it’s the jacket I would have regardless of the amount of money I could spend, given millions I would still have chosen this one and what a buy it was. After all the hype getting the thing of your dreams can be a let down, but not this time, it does just what I want and looks cool as well, so a big thank you to the designers at The North Face for my new Nuptse jacket.

Brilliant news. This is the kind of thing I'm interested in, bloggers working together. Feel free to post this n the Ramsey Daily Photo Facebook Group. I want that group to highlight blogs/website/ talent that slips under the radar. Make sure you post your own site on the wall.

Working on a project that may not be financially regarding but good publicity. If it works out I'll send you the details. Got to keep it quiet for now, but it would be ideal for you. I run out of adjectives to describe your work so today sensational.

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
