After two and a half years of being a Saab owner, it is with sadness that I have to announce that I won’t be any more. Or at least (hopefully soon) any more: the Saab is up for sale. We decided recently that it would just be too much to take the Saab to college…

Day 300: Gas Ring Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Illustrate heat in one of its many forms in a photograph today" Well this was the first thing that sprang to mind! It’s also the first time I’ve taken one of these pictures, strangely enough. I’ve just never thought of it before.…

It’s turned out that June has been a busy month! On Friday night we had the youth group quiz night, which turned out to be incredibly popular. The idea was to get some of the parents of our youth group members involved, so we had a quiz night with all invited. It was incredibly popular…

Day 299: The Creed Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment today: "As you’re out and about today, find a list and make a photo." Well this was taken at home but the idea comes from being out at church this morning: every Sunday we say the creed together. This is the old…

Day 298: Pulmonaria Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a close-up photograph of something". Well this is pretty close-up!

Day 297: Tipp-Ex Shadow Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photograph that features a shadow as your subject today." I took this photo in a bit of a rush but I actually think it came out quite well. I just like the mundaneness of the object and its shadow, it’s…

Day 296: Tomato Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "The color of the day is orange. Make a photograph that is full of orange today." Well I must admit, the fence in this photo looks a lot more orange in real life than it does in this photo… I’m afraid it’s come…

Day 295: Crops Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: A close-up of some crops growing in a nearby field.

I’ve been lax with updating once again! But just for the record, here’s a brief precis of the past few days: Friday – 21 in the evening. I was doing the talk, and to be honest it didn’t go well. The kids were being very loud and generally noisy the whole time, this was one…

Day 294: Fencepost Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photograph from a high point of view." Well this isn’t high exactly but it’s a top view of a fence post. I think it turned out well, even if it’s not exactly a mountaintop!
