Oh dear lord!  what a disastrous week! It really started to go wrong a week past Thursday when my son was struck down by a vomiting illness, that lasted a couple of days and then it took another few for him to recover completely.  After that baby madestuff and myself picked up something flu-like and [...]

I had so many good plans for this week, unfortunately I was overtaken by events, weather, and sick children and so none of the shots are really what I’d hoped for.  The one of the toy soldiers, “MAN DOWN”, was meant to be taken outside – there was going to be fire and dirt and [...]

This weeks theme started out under the auspicious heading of ‘bodyparts’, and lets face it it could have ended up almost quite literally anywhere – fortunately it never made it quite ‘there’.  However, I did laterally dub it as ‘my week of narcissism hell’.  Let’s be clear here, when it comes to photographing I’m quite [...]

The theme for this week was ‘the season’, based on the fact that we had a couple of nice days of sunshine and I wanted to go out and see what was going on … unfortunately there wasn’t much going on at all.  Indeed, as much as it feels like it should be spring we’re [...]

This last week has been the first week when I applied a theme to my photo-a-day project and whilst it helped me identify potential subject matter by narrowing and focusing what I might consider it also made the range of interest less so.  I may need to tweak my notion of theme’s a bit yet [...]

This will, hopefully, be the last week of random images as I start down the road of weekly themes.  More of that in a mo though. Having just reviewed the images from the last week I’d say I’m rather pleased with the photo’s by-and-large.  I’ve revisited a piece of subject matter from week two, the [...]

Damn it! My intention of only taking, and I quote only from last week, flora (weather permitting), music, and anything else that peeks my interest has fallen flat on it’s face.  I managed most of the week but it just isn’t sustainable, right now there aren’t an awful lot of flowers or plants about (largely [...]

Four weeks in and I’m still at it! If there is one thing I have come to realise though in the last week, it is this.  I cannot continue simply taking photo’s of random objects, if this project is to remain of interest to me, or indeed you – dear singular reader – then it [...]

There have only been a couple of days this week when I’ve struggled to find the time to take my photo-of-the-day, I’ll leave you to guess which ones those might be.  Rather my real problem has been deciding which photo to use, usually because I have viewed multiple objects / situations as having potential for [...]

The photo’s this week have shown a marked improvement over those from week 1, although given the dreadful time of it me and mine were having  in that first week I would have been devastated had there not been an improvement of some kind! With a single exception none of the photo’s have been outside, [...]
