#mypictoday Thankfully, not everyone needs shrink wrapping (thank you @oldtownpaul, that is going to stick with me for many Christmases to come).
Merry Christmas to you all x
#mypictoday Today was about wrapping difficult to wrap presents. Such things usually cause me to throw a tantrum but thankfully it gave me an idea for my photo today. Plus I had a little helper …
#mypictoday Today was my last day at work before the New Year. Desperate people do desperate things when they want their turkeys. Any way, there wasn’t much opportunity to get out and about to grab a decent shot for today, so here have a grainy corridor leading to a grainy door leading to … well, I will let you decide
#mypictoday This shot is important to me. Yes, it is of course a photo of the beloved Pup and she is important to everyone, even Old Man Tom. But guess what? I took this photo in … wait for it … Manual! Yes I did. Me. All by myself. Well almost, some credit must go to @oldtownpaul, I have been picking his brains an awful lot lately. I am probably being thoroughly self indulgent but I think those of you who have got to know me will realise how petrified I have been of the “Big M” and that this is pretty important stuff *does a little dance*
On 3 January 2013, this blog will come to an end. It will have 366 photos documenting every day of my life for the last year and one day. Then it will end. That journey began as a bit of a laugh if I’m honest but quickly transformed into a passion for photography that has taken me by surprise. My new passion will need another home in the New Year, so here it is. If you follow me here on #mypictoday and enjoy my work, please join me
Thank you
#mypictoday What you are witnessing in this rather out of focus shot is the very moment at which I was rumbled. Seconds later, I heard “mumble mumble mumble” … “mumble mumble why?” … “mumble mumble how the fuck should I know mumble mumble?”. I put my phone away and thought about the feedback I had received from others about this very thing. To ask or not to ask, to tell or not to tell. So, mustering up a huge amount of courage, I walked up to them and confessed. They laughed and took it in good grace. I mean, it’s actually a compliment if you want to capture someone isn’t it because it means you find them interesting? It’s taken me a while to get this. So, now these two think I am a weirdo with an interest rather than just being a plain weird. I think I can live with that
#mypictoday After an early finish at work (for a change), I managed to go back to the church. I’m glad I did because from now until god’s know when it is going to do nothing but rain rain rain and the lighting inside will be rubbish

#mypictoday Some of you may recall that I posted a very similar shot when the news broke about the disappearance of April Jones. Well, it is now Christmas, the Christmas tree lights are shining, but April is still missing …

#mypictoday I went for a very long walk today. With an old man and a pup by my side. It was muddy, water logged and gloriously sunny. For a short while it almost felt like spring. Despite the bright sun however, this shot cried out for a black and white edit …
