As mentioned earlier, if you read my twitter feed (which, to me, sounds so much better than “if you read my tweets”), Keryn has been off gallivanting around Queen Charlotte sound for a few days. As such I’ve had time to myself and today I finally got out to take some photographs. Over the hill […]
Wanderlust shortlist
I received an email the other day to tell me that I hadn’t placed in the top photos for the Travel Photographer of the Year competition, which is a pity. However, the next day I received an email to tell me I was short listed in another UK travel photo competition, this time for the […]
Photo5 & Fair Go
I didn’t get shortlisted for the Canon Photo5 contest. Oh well, never mind, better luck next year. You can see the shortlisted entries here: Canon Photo5 2009 shortlist Last night on Fair Go they had an item about photo copyright and talked about a woman who claimed to have found her photo plastered all over […]
We went to Timaru
I took very few photos on our Timaru trip, not sure why in the end. Anyway, we were visiting family and seeing niece Keira for the first time (Skype excepted). I did spend an evening taking a few photos of Keira as she did her thing, they’re up on flickr with a few here. Photo […]
Making use of a mid-week break
One benefit of my shift work is I get days off mid-week (while on the other hand I am working two weekends of every four). When the weather is good I like to get out and see more of Wellington and on Thursday I took the opportunity to go for a walk down past Eastbourne. […]
ES & EOS Update
Found an article about my day with the Evening Standard, you can see it on the “This Is London” website by clicking here. Nice to see another quote that I never said, at least it’s more promotion. Taking photos for the Evening Standard. In other news my photo is in the latest issue of EOS […]
They rang last week
And the photo looks better in the paper. Ben called me and asked me a few questions which resulted in this article which appeared in the Brentwood Gazette this week: Eye for a Photo, The Brentwood Gazette. Just in case anyone thinks I’m obsessing it’s more that we haven’t really done a lot recently so […]
Quotes
Another day another page with details of my winning. Interesting to see a quote from myself on this page, interesting as I never said it. I was contacted by a person from the Brentwood post yesterday so I guess there will be something in an upcoming paper. Here is a link to to the DPNow […]
The news part one

Well, I won didn’t I
Good news! I won the London Eye photo competition! For my efforts I received a Fujifilm digital camera, a big magnum of champagne and a years family pass to Tussauds Group venues. Reading up on some other sites (like the Lets Go Digital site here) it appears that my photo will go on permanent display […]

I already have some nice […]
