"Do The Strand!"

Sun Aug 16, 2009, 7:36 AM
Well, this is the first journal i've posted since christmas ... and first set of new photographs for a very long time :)

Me & my lovely girlfriend Claire went on holiday to Rye (in East Sussex) and I managed to get about 45 or so photographs, so be prepared to be bombarded with them very soon :D

All in all i'd say that they are my best yet, and some of them are definately the ones i'm most proud of, i've posted 4 from the set on here already, but there should be some more very soon and I hope you'll find something there that you like :)

Me & Claire loved it there and hopefully if all goes well we'll be moving there :) Plus some ones of her to come too :D

Joe.


P.S Needless to say, they were all taken using the "extension of my eye", the Olympus OM-10 :D

P.P.S I found a rare old Roxy Music live record in one of the shops there, and funnily enough there was also a "Ferry Street" & The Strand, so that's where the title of this journal entry come from :)


------------------------------------------
Also, there's a cool blog that i've joined up to for fans of street photography where you can post pictures, talk about ideas and generally comment ...

This is the [link] to it, contact :iconanarchiekueken: for more information :)

Thanks ... well, i'm in a couple of bands at the moment ...

A straight ahead covers band playing drums, a very experimental group called EnsemBell (think Adrian Belew era King Crimson with the sensibilities of just throwing around percussion and my latest trick of kicking my heavily delayed guitar across the floor), and more recently "Duet" with my girlfriend, which can be found here [link]

In your world, the night is no threat
In my world, the darkness
Transforms to a vision of hell
Populated by fathomless and unbearable...

Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.
