I only write occasionally here now, as you will see. However, there is an archive of over 2,000 posts which I’ve made over the last 20+ years, which are all still accessible.

  • Day 315: Bricks

    Day 315: Bricks Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photo of a regular or irregular pattern" This is a semi-regular pattern, or part of one. Part of a brick wall, taken from a strange angle.

  • Psalm 95: True Worship

    This is more for reference than anything else, but you can read the text of my sermon on Sunday night here: Psalm 95: True Worship. Unfortunately it wasn’t recorded so you won’t be able to listen, but I think it’s probably more clear on paper than I managed to make it on the night!

  • Speaking and preaching

    Well it’s been a busy old few weeks for us! The weekend before last, as mentioned, we had the 21 weekend away. This weekend, Phil went up to Yorkshire to look at some trees, and I was preaching on the Sunday evening. Let me just unpack that a little bit… on Friday evening we had…

  • Day 314: Lines into the Distance

    Day 314: Lines into the Distance Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photo with a strong linear composition today." Well I don’t know about a ‘linear’ composition as such but there are several lines. Obviously the horizon line is dominant, followed by the tyre track lines going off through the…

  • Day 313: Mallets and Balls

    Day 313: Mallets and Balls Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "juxtapose something small with something big" Not sure I really got this right, but I was out and about today and saw these croquet mallets with these balls. Thought it made a good photo anyway, although I think it needs a…

  • Day 312: Curry Plant

    Day 312: Curry Plant Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Feature a plant in a photograph today" This is a curry plant in our garden. Seems to have done well this year – it’s really grown up a bit. In terms of the photo, I’ve played a little bit with some subtle…

  • Day 311: Aim for the Sun

    Day 311: Aim for the Sun Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photograph today that features the sky." I like the way the post points the way up towards the sun here. I didn’t exactly intend that when I took the photo but I think it came out OK.

  • Day 310: Fence alongside a field

    Day 310: Fence alongside a field Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: I didn’t fancy the Daily Shoot assignment today, so I took a photo out at lunchtime today. I think it came out well.

  • Day 309: Hobson’s Choice

    Day 309: Hobson’s Choice Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Illustrate choice in a photograph today" Today I thought I would illustrate Hobson’s choice: there is a choice here of two different car keys… unfortunately they’re both for the same car.

  • Day 308: White Sky

    Day 308: White Sky Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photograph that features white in a dominant manner" Well I’ve taken the option to ‘blow out the sky’, if that’s the right expression. It was a perfect sky for this kind of thing – bright with even white / light…
