Evacuating The Area
What happens when you hand your camera off to a rodent so it can snap a shot from ground level for an unofficial photo theme? It turns out that nobody wants to stick around for a picture. #ratsview Google+: View post on...
Walking The Bike
You know how it is: you want to keep active so you cycle to work but then you find that your place of employment doesn't look too kindly on having bikes roaming the corridors or ringing their bells whenever somebody approaches the office door. It's a perfectably understandable reaction, of course. Fortunately, the fledgeling industry of professional bike walkers is at hand these days, providing an affordable solution to this particular conundrum. For just a small fee you can get someone to take care of your bike while you're a good drone; with just simple walking and companionship in your absence through to a full grooming service that includes brake-tightening and saddle-polishing there's now no reason not to get on your bike in the mornings.

Sports Bar
Another dip into my photo archives to see what I can resurrect from previously unprocessed or too simply processed or otherwise rejected shots and this is a picture of Churchill's, the sports bar on the Diamond Princess which was the ship we cruised on during our honeymoon in 2008. This was taken on the first day of cruising out of Hong Kong, which was the second day of playing with my then brand new Tokina f/4 12-24mm on the Canon 350D. It was early in the morning and we'd headed down to the bar specifically to watch some live American Football. We knew that Churchill's was the only place on board where you could smoke indoors and we knew that it was possible to buy cigars there; neither I nor my wife were or are smokers but we both thought it might be an experience to sit in an American sports bar, watching some football, maybe sipping on a bourbon, and allowing the smell of cigar smoke from some other patrons to add to ambience. Sadly, what we got was an inability to get any drink from anybody and only two other passengers plus a steady stream of staff members who nipped in to have quick – and decidedly revolting-smelling – cigarettes. Not what we were after. Google+: View post on...
Fashion Faves – Miranda Kerr
A selection of shots of Miranda Kerr, as photographed by Nino Muñoz for Numero Tokyo‘s June edition (via ru_glamour). The inspiration for these shots is obvious; American chic of the 1950s and early 60s is present in the fashion choices, the set decoration, and the style of photography. I particularly like the doll-like, distant stare that Miranda affects in this shoot. Not that I’m a weirdo that gets off on that sort of thing, mind. I mean, I’m strange but that’s just kinda...
Indian Music Triple
For no reason other than the thought popped into my head, here’s a trio of music videos from Indian artists. I’ve no idea who they are, I’ve never heard them before randomly searching for some songs, and there’s just the small possibility that they contain people pleasing to the eyes in the videos. Let’s Rock Soniye Lovely directing on this, particularly the opening thirty seconds. Teen Patti The video description says ‘very hot’ and, well, just for a change, it’s not lying Honeymoon Ki Raat A fashion...
