This weekend was the Chappel Winter Beer Festival (as you may have guessed from my cunning usage of those exact same words in the title of this post). On Friday night, as it was half term we didn’t have 21 for once! It’s not that I don’t enjoy doing 21 but it’s nice to have…

Day 188: Speaker Originally uploaded by phillsacre Daily Shoot: ‘Make a photograph illustrating a sound that catches your ear today.’ I didn’t really get much of a chance to get out and about much today due to the weather, but I did listen to some musiuc. This is a photo of a hi-fi speaker, which…

Day 187: Crocuses Originally uploaded by phillsacre The Daily Shoot assignment is: “Make a photograph of something that is glowing today. Use any meaning of the word you like.” Well, one of the dictionary definitions is: “brilliance or vividness of colour”. I think these crocuses qualify 🙂 It’s a definite sign that spring is just…

Day 186: Old Telephone Originally uploaded by phillsacre The Daily Shoot assignment today: “Make a photograph that illustrates the idea of connection”. Well I saw this old telephone today and had to use this as my daily shoot. I love these old style telephones. I tried to make the photo look like it came from…

Day 185: Brick Wall Originally uploaded by phillsacre The Daily Shoot assignment: “Make a photograph featuring strong horizontal lines today.” I think this fulfils that criteria – just a plain ol’ brick wall, with some creeper on it. Or whatever kind of plant it is! 🙂

Over the past year or two, I’ve been contacted about three times by Packt Publishing, asking me if I want to write a book for them. The first time round (actually it might be the first couple of times), they asked if I wanted to write a book on IceFaces, a product I was using…

Day 184: Peace and Tranquility Originally uploaded by phillsacre The Daily Shoot assignment is: “Illustrate your idea of peace and harmony–or maybe just peace and quiet–today with a photograph.” Well, this photo isn’t perhaps everyone’s idea of peace and tranquility! But what I really wanted to capture in this photo is the isolated nature (or…

Well, today is day 183 of my Project 365, erm, project. Challenge. I’ve done 182 photos, and I have 182 photos remaining. I can’t believe it’s gone so quickly – although the prospect of doing another 182 photos is slightly daunting! That said, having come half way does break a psychological barrier. I’ve done half…

Day 183: Water droplets Originally uploaded by phillsacre The Daily Shoot assignment is: “Beauty is all around us. Make a photo of some naturally occurring beauty in your area today.” Well today it was raining so I didn’t hold out much hope of getting outside, let along getting a photograph! But the rain eased up…

Day 182: Waiting for Spring Originally uploaded by phillsacre Daily Shoot: “Make a photograph today that illustrates of the act of waiting.” Apologies for doing a lot on spring recently, but as soon as I saw the assignment that was my first thought! Waiting for spring to arrive. You can see the buds here are…
