Blue bell fields forever
February 22, 2009
The blue bells (and buttercups) have sprouted everywhere here in Edenbridge! This is the field behind our local vet. There is a small wood on the other side of a stream and this is the edge of the woods. Behind me is a field of buttercups, to the left of me is a hill leading to the railway track and to the right of me is a field full of sheep.

Nothing fancy, but please add your comments here and/or on Flickr. I’d love to have any feedback on this and anything I post here, on Flickr as well as FriendFeed (which I’m trying to link to this blog as much as possible). Today’s pic:

Squashy Frog Photography gets social
August 3, 2008
I’m sure it’s not gone unnoticed that social media, news and bookmarking is a big ol’ thing nowadays. And me being someone not wanting to miss out on anything new on the net I’ve naturally joined in with all the fun. I’ve been slowly building profiles on tonnes of services across the web - some used more than others. If this interests you then for a complete list of my social media profiles have a read of my page titled, “My Social Media Sites“.

My photo to appear in local newspaper
January 30, 2008
I entered three of my recent photos into a photography competition in our local news paper, The Kent & Sussex Courier. The competition is run in association with the Tonbridge Camera Club and a lady from the paper e-mailed me on Monday to say they want to print one of my photos in this week’s paper (out on Thursday 31st January 2008). I’m over the moon and can’t wait to see my photo in the paper tomorrow.

Day out at Le Tour de France London Prologue 2007
January 3, 2008
I was up in London for the Saturday (7th July 2007) Prologue of Le Tour de France in London. I thought it was fantastic! Up very early I made my way to Marble Arch. At this point it was pretty empty and quiet, but as I walked around I found some people already placing seats along the course. There was still lots of spaces, though so I decided to walk it, from Hyde Park to the finish, boy that was a long walk. On my way I went through a very busy area where people were shouting and screaming to encourage you to buy their wares. Pretty much everyone was at the finish and I could hardly see the track. So I chose to turn back to find a better location. Read more

Photography-related magazine and newspapers
March 18, 2007
A few links to newspapers and magazines I read:
Newspapers
The Independent
- I’ve never really settled on a newspaper until perhaps recently. I’ve started regularly buying the Independent, don’t say a word. 
In the last few months it has had ‘free’ week-long specials including ‘Improve Your Photography’ and there is the odd ‘Independent Photographer’ supplement in the Web User magazine (of which I’ve only got Part 1 and 3 L). The Independent takes photography very seriously and I expect to see lots of articles and supplements in the future.

Why?
January 31, 2007
OK, why this change of direction all of a sudden, well, like everyone, I would like to be in a place where I’m as happy as I can be. Working in an office is good and I get a kick out of producing a report, helping out on projects and of course it pays the bills. But as a long term goal I’m after something more creative, something a bit different…

How to become a professional photographer… hopefully
January 30, 2007
Well I’ve had this blog set-up for months now so I better go ahead and use it, eh? The idea behind it (currently) is to not only use the site as a portfolio (in the future anyway) but also to document my progress from happy snapper to professional photographer or is that just a better happy snapper. Hopefully this’ll help me, as well as anyone else foolish enough to read this, while gaining some expertise in photography and photo-manipulation.
I’ve eager pursue a more creative area. I have two avenues, should I concentrate in getting back into pencil drawing or perhaps into my new interest, photography? I’ve not drawn anything in anger since college and nothing of importance since school (ooh 14 years ago now) but I’m a far better artist than I am a photographer right now so you think I would go down the drawing route, right? Wrong. Photography has surprisingly grabbed a hold on me recently. I’ve never taken an interest in the art, never looked at a photo and thought ‘hey, that’s a really well taken picture’. It’s all changed and now love looking at photography and taking pictures myself. It’s something I feel I can progress with and perhaps take into a future career. Drawing can wait a little bit longer, I know I can draw I just need to be taught the proper technique. What I could do later is combine both photography and drawing by taking photos then reproducing them on a piece of paper. One way or the other, I certainly hope to get some enjoyment out of finding my artistic roots again.
