337. Panorama


This set of photographs were actually taken in Polperro, Cornwall, earlier this year. I have only just stitched them together to make this panorama. Not the best, but it was done sans-tripod so I had to make do with a few slightly misaligned bits!

336. Heavy


This little lady was finding her younger cousin a bit to heavy to hold.

335. Desire




This adorable little man was very taken with the bubbles I set up for his family portrait shoot. He just wanted to chase, catch, hold and stare at them...which made for some great photos. 

334. Fear


When Florence gets frightened of something - such as the sound of the post being pushed through the letterbox or a leaf - she hides in amongst the CDs. Crazy cat.

333. Speed


The London Eye does look as though it's spinning at some speed here, but it's just a long exposure (slow shutter release) which has meant the light trails are left. 

332. Awful


B and I played a truly terrible game of Scrabble on Friday. There were nearly tears - I'm not a good loser. 



331. The Office...


...is wherever I shoot, edit and package photographs. This year I have managed to turn photography from a hobby into a business. How lucky am I?

330. Tools


The tools I was using to package up photographic prints for clients last week. My living room was in total disarray.

329. Spot


This is my new favourite 'spot', to sit and read with a cup of tea and a hot-water bottle.

328. Destructive


Florence gets up to lots of mischief - including trying to eat Mum's flowers. 

327. Electricity


They certainly wouldn't have been there when the railway original opened, but I loved these little coloured light bulbs, bringing a Christmas feel to the station platform. 

326. Quests


A lovely journey through the Churnet Valley, by steam train.

325. Status


This dude definitely had status on the Churnet Valley Heritage Railway. Check out that hat!

324. Prosperity


Sitting in a steam train - one of the Victorian symbols of prosperity - while using an iPhone, the modern equivalent. 

323. Used


Vintage luggage on the Churnet Valley Heritage Railway.

322. Daybreak


The view from my living room window one morning last week.

321. Machine


On the Churnet Valley Heritage Railway.

320. Weight



Some very old luggage weighing scales at the Churnet Valley Heritage Railway.

319. Parts


The internal mechanisms of a vintage typewriter.

318. Smooth


Such lovely smooth coats, these two had. 

317. The Team


The B Team.

316. Domestic


B proved himself to be something of a domestic god by hand-making this Formula One cake for his dad's birthday. I was amazed.

315. Complexity


A photo of Jim, made up of lots of photos of Jim. Very complex!

314. Blessing


B's dad's 65th birthday celebrations, a couple of weeks ago - here he is making a wish as he blew out his candles. Such a blessing to have such great family and friends to share these occasions with. 

313. Wide-Angle


Finally going to get round to finishing off this project! I've had such a lot of paid photography work to do over the last few weeks that I haven't had time to take or edit much for this. I'll be making amends this week, however. Here is a wide-angle family portrait shot from one of my recent jobs. It was such fun to work with this family but, with 10 adults and 4 children, getting them all into one frame certainly did require a wide-angle!
