    Day 243: Street Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photograph that emphasizes converging lines" Well I think converging lines are evident in this picture.

    Day 241: Sorbus Signalman blossom Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a low contrast photograph today" Well I think this is fairly low-contrast.

  • New Word Alive, and wedding

    It was a busy week last week! On Saturday we headed to Pwllheli, North Wales for the New Word Alive conference. We were going down a day early (the day before the rest of our group headed up) in order to buy food for the week. The journey itself went smoothly, we didn’t have any…
