Buses and momentary lapses

After what seems like an eternity – I finally have a new (replacement) camera and lenses.

The 7d is indeed a thing of wonder – the shutter release sounds like a tractor, and there will definitely be an adjustment period where I become fully acquainted with all its many new-fangled dials and buttons … but I loves it, I do.

So for our first outing (after buying an elephantine CF card that felt like it was the size of a small … ummm …. elephant?) we went to The Junction and encountered amongst other things :

A man who appeared to have momentarily forgotten how to ride his bicycle

A man who appeared to be (a) the only man in Clapham and (b) a bus whisperer

All taken with 10 – 22 mm …. yes I know ; obvious.

Some old faces

A peculiar night – some people that I worked with about 12 years ago. Haven’t seen most of them in the interim period.
I’d like to say they really haven’t changed – but the best I can do is conceede they have changed in an alarmingly predictable fashion!

Blue Thursday

Time to get back on the horse – had my 550d stolen … but the 450d still works.
Will stop sulking.
Patiently waiting for 7d to wing its way from Hong Kong.
Patience
Patience
Patience

Anyway – this is kind of what it looks like on the way to a normal work day. With a bit of added blue.
And the wrong WB just for fun.

My Most Favouritest James EVER.

Tall, dark and organised. One day I’m going to be just like him … except maybe the tall part.

Steps retraced

This is where I was on Friday but didn’t really notice because I was either talking too much, or trying to keep up with James and Patrick – who are both eight foot tall and walk a bit faster than me…

I had to ask for special permission to go into the recycling place – which was a bit exciting as the blokey in charge told me I wasn’t really allowed to be there but that he’d give me 5 minutes. Scamper scamper scamper snap snap snap.

Market Twosies

Have always meant to do this – go to a market and make up lots of diptychs.
Done. Very satisfying – next?

Just Married

I know – it’s kind of cheesy, but i like it. (I’m also happy that I finally got to eat that last refresher that I’d been saving for this diptych.)

Wedding Outtake 1

‘cos every girl’s crazy ’bout a sharp-dressed … priest?

The priest at Gwen and Will’s wedding in Prague …
Seriously, way too cool for church.
