Flower Bed

Posted By Mark on Mar 15, 2012

The sun was out and the wind had mostly dropped to nothing at lunchtime today which meant it was actually quite warm; warm enough and bright enough, in fact, to pop through the gardens at the back of the cathedral in search of pretty flowers. There weren't any. Still, there was a bed of flowers not far from it and I stopped momentarily to take one shot en route to hunting down photos of people instead. Which was also fairly fruitless, but you don't want to hear me moan on and on and on… Google+: View post on...

Lick

Posted By Mark on Mar 15, 2012

Don't you just hate people trying to be cool when they're clearly not? Here's a perfect example: a young man, probably a student, who'd got wind that I was going to upload my photo today of me eating a choc ice in the early 1990s, and who'd decided to be ultra hip by reproducing the ultimate coolness embodied in that photo in the street for all to see. Where's the hip hop top? Where's the cut off jeans? And why did he have to go overboard and get a double cone? Kids today just have no idea when it comes to style; it makes me furious!

Two Coffee Cups

Posted By Mark on Mar 15, 2012

A dark, round table just caught in the sunlight with two dirty coffee cups on its surface; far, far nicer than a picture of someone downing the drink from a disposable container (my alternate shot), and easier to shoot too since it never moved.

I Was So Cool

Posted By Mark on Mar 15, 2012

Nothing says cool quite like a white guy with a Public Enemy top on eating a choc ice in his parents' living room in the early 1990s. Nothing. Man, I was cool. What happened? It's Thursday so that means it has to be for #BlastFromThePast curated by +Cheryl Cooper, +Mark Rodriguez, and +Isabelle Fortin. Google+: View post on...

The Dolphin and Anchor

Posted By Mark on Mar 14, 2012

While sitting in the sunshine (which was doing a singularly unimpressive job at compensating for the chilly wind) and having a chat (okay: moan) about work I couldn't help but notice two girls on a bench nearby. That's right: I notice girls. Anyway, in this particular case the girls were taking it in turns to wander around and take a photo using their phones before returning to the bench to show off the results; daffodils were shot, views down the street were shot, signs were shot, and – as caught here (and as witnessed curiously by someone popping out for a cigarette) – part of the pub opposite them was shot. People at lunchtime in public taking shots of things that interest them? That's just so weird. Google+: View post on...
