Change of title

The great thing about having no subscribers is that I can make changes without too much explanation. The title of this blg used to be "Wannabe", because I wanted to be consider a photographer. Now I am comfortable that I am a photographer. Presto change-o

Absolutely awesome. My expectations were low but this is as good as Torchwood. Excellent acting, atmosphere, plot lines and subtle comedy.

A cautionary story on copyright theft of photos from Flickr user _Rebekkasay WHAT?? on Flickr - Photo Sharing!.
Flickr, like all social networks, relies on trust. Yet it seems that for the small amount that iStockphoto, some jerk is stealing work flickr and posting it as his/her own.

I wanted to capture the desperation that sometimes inhabits the gambler's mind. One more hand, one more roll of the dice, one more spin of the wheel, one more bet on the geegees, etc

Is nowhere safe

Permission marketing? 7 a.m. this morning and my wake up call in The Millenium Madejski Hotel consists of an advert for an airline. Not sure who but they wanted to tell me how nice it was to fly to Asia and the Far East with them. Who dreamt this up? At what stage in a coffee and gin-fuelled meeting did this seem like a good idea? "I know let's sell advertising space in hotel wake up calls. Guests will love to hear about our offers just as they are thrown out of bed by the 'phone".
Sheesh.

After two weeks of sleepless nights because Dylan decided he needed a wee at 2 or 3 or 4 a.m. I am now walking the dogs at 8 or 8.30 every morning and James is walking them during the evening. This was taken this morning and it was bloody cold.
