Revenge Is Sweet

Here's the first photo post in a while...

Kenneth and I had gone cycling, looking for a weir that we could take some nice long exposures of. It turned out to be an utter failure without a ND filter...

...but to the ford on Watery Gate Lane, what do I find abandoned in the ford? A red Mini cooper - classic Brit, not German shit. With a white chequered roof.

Now there's only one person I know who drives a red mini with a white-and-red roof...Dan, the eejit who kept talking over me at the last School Council meeting. Could it possibly be him?

Hell yeah.

Me and Kenneth loved it... best photo moment in ages and beat the weir by miles! Dan had to get his Dad to come, and his mates John and Adam who bought a Land Rover with a trailer. It took me, Dan, his Dad, John, Adam and a passing old lady [who'd suffered a dognapping] to push the Mini up onto the trailer. I snapped away happily whilst Dan ate humble pie...

Oh, it was a great way to spend an afternoon. I'd have loved to have been there to capture Dan's face as he climbed through the window of his stricken Mini...

Me and Kenenth will go cycling more often...

Cheese on Crackers

It's dead annoying when you think you've got something sussed, only to realise that in fact, you're talking bollocks.

Take today for example. I paid Hannah a visit to have a look about the house and work out how I'm going to wire the New Year's Eve sound system. Turns out that in actual fact what I'd originally planned is total rubbish, wouldn't work and had to be rethought.

Bugger.

Of course I did come up with a plan, only half convinced it's going to work, but I've given myself a whole seven hours to rig the place, so there shouldn't be any problems by the time the guests arrive at 7:30pm...

What did distract me was Jess, deciding that she was a photographer and stealing Kenneth. White Balance wasn't feeling to Automatic, so I set him to shoot in Monochrome and let her play. She wasn't too bad, I suppose. I quite like this shot of Hannah...

There's often a good reason to remove colour from a photograph, and this is one of them. A lovely candid caught particularly well. B+.

I'm now sat, bored, eating cheese on crackers. I'm not supposed to eat because of my anti-spottyfuck tablets, but nuts to it. I like Mexican cheese. I like crackers. I even like the bit of butter in between.

I guess I'll just have to be a spottyfuck.
