What an awesome bottle! Lucky Beer from China. I Got a couple of bottles to celebrate booking flights to Mexico. It was shot on my Canon 1D with a 50mm lens for the shallow DOF and it was lit with a ceiling spot. Now I’m worrying how to get the photos on photo a day when I’m in Mexico and what to shoot on. I’ll work something out.

The first proper self portrait on photoaday so far. The thing in my hand is a remote release. It was shot using 2 flash heads; one for the lens flare and one to light me from the side. I broke a belt jumping so many times.

I’ve always walked past this purple door underneath the railway bridge on Tanner St. but never had my camera with me until today. It’s quite a strange scene, with no clue as to what’s behind. Just went to see Alice in Wonderland in 3D and my eyes are taking a while adjusting to this screen. It’s a really odd film, pretty good though.

Got this shot standing on the field by the London Eye, just a a quick snap, but it’s such a cool structure that I thought it was worth including.

I took this image of Clapham Common as I was walking to my new flat (in Clapham). I’m moving this coming week, so everything is a bit up in the air at the moment. Booking flights to Mexico today too!

A bright shot today! Which also signifies that I am going to actually start saving some money ever. I wish they still made money boxes that you couldn’t get into without a hammer. Going to see Little Dragon at the Garage tonight. They are so good live. Really looking forward to hearing how they play their new tracks. Almost Friday!

This was shot in Shad Thames near my flat. It’s a view towards the Thames looking down St. George’s Wharf. Dickens Country. Things are so busy at the moment! Wooo!

My first food shot on a photo a day. A quick one today as I am still winding down after the weekend. I cooked this Blackbean soup with Red pepper and Scotch Bonnet sauce tonight. It was awesome! It looked pretty too, so I snapped it. I’ll try to get outside tomorrow. Darren

Okay, on the last night of the Stag weekend. There were 5 guys left, all asleep in the cottage in Hay on Wye. I was woken suddenly at 3am by the loudest banging and then about 40 seconds of hysterical screaming. I thought that the house had been raided and that Ben and Adam in the next room were tackling the intruders. It turned out, however that Adam was having a night terror, and was trying to kill Ben. He dreamed that he was in the pot hole from the gorge walk earlier that day and that he came across one of the monsters from The Descent. It’s left us all scarred. I couldn’t sleep after that, so I took some photos out of the window of my room. This was taken at 4am; a 30 second exposure. The moon was full and so bright that most of the shots look like daylight. Back to normal tomorrow. No more countryside.

After a freezing gorge walk in Brecon national park on Sunday, we took a walk up by the cottage and watched the sunset over the Wye Valley. Five men singing the theme tune from California Dreams and watching the sun go down. Lovely stuff.
