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…

Can’t think of anything more exciting to post than that unfortunately! It’s half-term this week, so it was the last 21 of this half-term on Friday night. It went pretty well, I was doing the talk and I think they were generally paying attention and understood. On Saturday we didn’t end up doing all that…

Day 180: Shoots Originally uploaded by phillsacre The Daily Shoot assignment is: “Work with scale today and make a photograph that features a subject either larger or smaller than expected.” Well these are some bulbs that are coming up in our garden at the moment. They’re only a couple of inches high but I think…

Day 179: Raindrops on a Coat Originally uploaded by phillsacre Today’s Daily Shoot assignment: “Make a photograph of something that captures a small bit the flavor of where you live or your culture.” Well, given the weather today, I thought I’d take a picture of good old English culture: rain. Rain is a pretty big…

Day 178: Moss Originally uploaded by phillsacre The Daily Shoot assignment today is: “Make a photograph that features the color yellow in some way or another.” I was out at lunchtime today and saw this. It’s not exactly pure yellow but I think it still counts 🙂

Day 177: Mood Photo Originally uploaded by phillsacre The Daily Shoot assignment is: “Happy, sad, frazzled, or joyus? Make an abstract or literal photo that expresses how you feel today.” Well I think the weather today was a good indication of how I feel: a bit fed up of all this winter, but hooray! –…
