The Red Shoes and Waterfalls

Sorry I’ve been rather busy lately and have not had time to post on here as well as the Leek photo blog and organise the exhibition. I’m just grabbing time between swimming, shopping and framing photo to read a number of blogs (yes I do read them, but don’t have the time to comment).

It’s a busy time for me; on Sunday it’s my birthday and the following Saturday see the opening of my first exhibition and just a month after that its Caz’s 40th. So lot’s to do and very little time to do it in.

The opening day of the exhibition now has the added attraction of a band! This started out as a low key event for me to test the idea and now I have a band playing at the opening, how thing seem to get out of hand all of a sudden amazes me. The band, made up of 3 local girl who call themselves The Red Shoes, are playing a number of times through out the day starting at 11am, it is a great thrill to have them joining in the fun and makes what is already a special day for me even better.

Back to work now I suppose, I will leave you with a waterfall taken in Yorkshire during the summer.

That's great news about the band, Brett! Anything to draw people in, in addition to your superb photography. Hopefully this could really be the start of something big. Good luck!

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

New Year

 It's been a few months and lots has happened, firstly Caz is doing very well, the first part of the treatment, the operation, went very well and she has made a great recovery, the next part, radiotherapy starts soon and should not take long then its just tablets for 10 years. I had the misfortune to catch Covid in the run up to Christmas, the main illness was just like a bad hangover, but the lingering effects are taking a toll of me, with a shortness of breath and lack of energy. We did manage to get away just after Christmas to Cornwall, see the picture above. The reason I am blogging today is that I have just done a video for next months calendar page/photo, and had to look at the first blog post, it then got me all nostalgic. I really miss those days, there was a community of like minded souls, and I forgot how much I miss them. It's been over 10 years since I did this on a regular basics, and that group of people have for the most part done what I have done and drifted aw
