The other day (last Tuesday to be exact), after a more-less wasted morning and early afternoon, I decided to pull myself together and finally do something. I went for a walk. I wanted to take some photos in the cathedral (it was sunny as I was leaving the home), but by the time I got there the sky was tightly covered with clouds and the inside of the cathedral looked rather gloomy. I decided that instead, I will go to the cathedral’s garden and -maybe- take some photos of birds. And so I did. And to my surprise and joy, the little, fat robin-fella turned up! The most sociable little bird I’ve ever met. This Tuesday encounter wasn’t our first one, but it was the first one whilst I had my camera with me, too. It was such good fun! He would sit in one place and sit there until i take the photo (it wasn’t that he would run away at the sound of the shutter though) and then fly over to another spot, maybe 1 meter away and sit there until i take another photo… and so on. Quite amazing. He also started singing quietly at some point… Made my day (:

Yesterday I took part in an emulsion printing workshop- I haven’t enjoyed myself so much in a long time. I like all the pictures I made and it’s simply a nice feeling. To like what you’ve just made. I printed 3 photos from some old negatives and will post them here once I get a chance to scan them in. In the meantime, 2 shots I took on a walk in Rochester around two months ago… They’re nothing special but remind me a little bit of work by one of my favourite photographers- Masao Yamamoto. It is of course an exaggerated comparison (his images being masterpieces), but I’m talking about the construction of the frames- one small object in the middle of it. Here, a few pictures by the master himself:

Sweeps Festival in Rochester= many many many extra hours at work. This means a great pain to my humble part-time feet. (Like I have bruises on them but still have to use them).
I still quite like this job
