Crossing London

It was a beautiful day in London today and me and the family, probably like most other people, headed out into the sun. Across London from SouthWest to North East via the embankment ending up at my folks house for the most amazing roast - mmmmmm (thanks mum!). I love taking pictures out of a moving car and here are some of the bits I passed. Sunshine, we love you, please stay.

A little bit of Bali.....

Amazing temple off the beaten track in Bali - Gunung Kawi. My friend and I travelled on motorbike with two local drivers who we nicknamed Dumb and Dumber (they weren't just stupid they were very annoying and very very stupid), through torrential rain and over many other obstacles to bring you these images. I am glad we persevered though as it really is one of the most beautiful places I have visited in a long time.

Winter strikes...

Snow snow snow - quite enjoying it this year - Storm had an old skool snowball fight on the way to school today and it was surprisingly fun.

Here is beautiful Morden Hall Park now and in the summer - which do you prefer? I think it has to be summer all the way.....

Space Rose

Starting to think about Valentines day....think I need to stop watching television...
Anyway, wanted to try something out in photoshop - i'm addicted to galaxies and space at the moment, so thought I would go for a galactic valentines offering.

Diving with Kodak

I was really saddened to hear of Kodak's current financial difficulties - around since the dawn of popular photography, it's such a shame that they haven't managed to successfully work out todays markets and take advantage of it. There may be light at the end of the tunnel for them though, apparently they owe around $700million but they have over a thousand patents which are worth around $2Billion (they are currently suing Apple, HTC and numerous others) and they have been given a year by their creditors to get their house in order. Good Luck Kodak.

I currently have 1 kodak product in my camera stable, actually, it's not even mine it's my 5 year old's - but it's a goodie. The Kodak EasyShare Sport. It's a funky looking little camera that is pretty much break proof and the best bit - it is waterproof to 3 metres. So it can be thrown in the shower/bath/swimming pool and any other watery mess that you would normally keep your point and shoot away from. I totally recommend it, especially if you have kids and it's pretty cheap too, currently £51.99 from Amazon.

I took it to Bali and while my friend went off diving, I played with the zebra fish and took some snaps.

Back...

In London once again. Never has it looked so grey after the panoply of greens my eyes have been witness to over the last 10 days. Glad to be back though - love London despite myself!
