Downsizer
The last few weeks have been a whirlwind. So I made the uncanny decision to drop everything and continue education (why) and also move country (even more why). In this I have moved from Aber to Shropshire, Shropshire to rural Normandy and finally Normandy to Ottawa. Moving is always a time to downsize, filter through the things you possess and do that thing that’s often … Continue reading Downsizer

Photography Tips #11: Capturing a Performance

Maybe my nihilist approach to life does have its benefits as the angle from the floor under theatre lights does something magical for me. Living by the 45 degree rule in photography and by application the rest of my life, finding that the 45 degree rule is 3D … Continue reading Photography Tips #11: Capturing a Performance
Archery Series #3: String, Nose…
Again with the Archery! To be fair, it is a sport that I am improving in readily, and learning more and more as I go along. When I first picked up a bow I didn’t see myself being intrigued in archery forums and articles in sports magazines, but now I am a true archery nut. I am a compound archer now, so the more technical … Continue reading Archery Series #3: String, Nose…
Snapshots #11: Going Up North (Again)
A weekend away with no internet and good friends is something everyone should do throughout the year. Last time I was in the foggy Lake District with good friends and a rabbit. This time the escape took up right to the top of Northumberland in the seaside town of Seahouses. Being only a stone’s throw away from the main road that would take one up … Continue reading Snapshots #11: Going Up North (Again)
Archery Series #2: Vegas Baby!
Yes I have finally decided to go straight back at it, right into the deep end of Archery. So not just starting off with a WAA18 a couple weeks ago but also with the events of last weekend. We travelled up to Sheffield to compete in the Northern Qualifier for BUCS and the following day shoot at Castle Archers again, this time with a Vegas … Continue reading Archery Series #2: Vegas Baby!
Snapshots #10: I Walked Up a Hill
Fortunately I got the opportunity to visit a couple of friends up in the Lake District and Lancashire Area. Hill walking has never been a main ambition of mine with the idea of walking up the hill means the inevitable walk back down. But I did it. My friend and I went to an exhibition at the Aberystwyth Art’s Centre that was about a man’s … Continue reading Snapshots #10: I Walked Up a Hill
