Some people I met
I've been talking for a long time about the challenge of photographing strangers. Those of you who know me know that the one thing that I'm short on much of the time is self belief. I'd rather be insulted than complimented because normally I find compliments leave too much out (as Bert pointed out at the workshop [...]
Alan Pope and his portable Daviey

Comedy Gold
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 343 Aaron Bentley of the Launchpad Bazaar Integration team signs Spinal Tap’s Big Bottom at Ubuntu Unplugged. Quite possibly one of the funniest things a Launchpad developer has ever done.

Available Light
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 27 I decided, after a day when I found myself stuck in the house pretty much all of the time, and in which I saw my capacity for excursion limited significantly by something important in my car going boing, to play with [...]
Miss, Miss, he’s making stuff up Miss!
Graham Binns posted a photo: Three hundred and sixty-odd days of 2008, day 15 I was out of inspiration tonight, photographically speaking. Luckily, the brainjuice was flowing in the direction of prose (though you’ll note that I took long enough out of it to get this shot, with a rather precariously balanced camera). That’s the [...]
