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 267: Ice Cold…

    Day 267: Ice Cold… Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Illustrate cold in a photograph today" Well, apologies for doing another ‘glass of water’ shot so soon after doing my last one, but this is a glass of water. With ice in it 🙂 Sadly it hasn’t been very warm recently but…

  • Eurovision again

    So another quick weekend update. 21 on Friday night: about 25 kids. That’s a record for the time I’ve been there. I think they were slightly more settled than last week, but still very noisy! Still – we have Friday off this week because of the JOY event happening on Saturday night (it’s a sort…

  • Day 266: Collecting Pollen

    Day 266: Collecting Pollen Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photograph that features radiating lines today". It didn’t actually strike me until looking back at this photo that it fulfils the assignment: the radiating lines come from the centre of the flower, the stamens are the lines. I don’t know…

  • Day 265: Headstock

    Day 265: Headstock Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photograph that features a silhouette today" I think the headstock of this guitar is quite interesting although I’m not sure about the photo itself. Once again this was a ‘limited time’ photo!

  • Day 264: Blanket

    Day 264: Blanket Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photograph with a strong line that leads the eye through the image" Apologies for doing a similar photo to one I did a few weeks ago, but I don’t have much time today!

  • Day 263: Cistus Flower

    Day 263: Cistus Flower Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: We have a Cistus in our garden which flowers between about May and September. Flowers appear each day and are a beautiful pinky colour. You can kind of see it in this picture but due to lack of rain recently the grass is brown and…

  • Day 262: Pill Box internal view

    Day 262: Pill Box internal view Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Frame a view using a door or a window today" Well this is the view from the window of a WWII pillbox. I think I’ve done something similar before but not inside this one. This is one of the few…

  • Day 261: London Pride

    Day 261: London Pride Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photograph dominated by the color red today." This is a flower in our garden called "London Pride". I think it’s quite attractive 🙂 It’s come out a bit more pink than red, but still… it’s close!

  • Day 260: Seed Head

    Day 260: Seed Head Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photograph using soft light today" Well I don’t think it’s easy to tell from this photo but the light out today was soft because of the cloud. No harsh sunlight here! And I know I’ve done seed heads before. Well,…

  • Day 259: Sun behind clouds

    Day 259: Sun behind clouds Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Illustrate warmth in a photograph today" Well, all our warmth comes from the sun! It was a warm day today here as well.
