golden gate bike...

so i added another day of pottering around sanding, filing and angle grinding my frame before giving it a bit of a spray today. obviously i ran out a of paint...and its a bank holiday so its back on it tomorrow.  its always good when a friend rings you up to tell you just after you have put all this effort in - that he knows a place that'll do it for thirty quid. ah heck - its all in good spirits.

right. bank holiday. beer.

if only i had time....

if i had a little time i'd get on with this bad boy.  i can see the paint job in my head right now....mmmmm. top ones is dr howes' and below is my not so progressed progress....

and sleep...

anarchists....

as anarchy prepared to hit the streets of london this week i also readied myself for the carnage.  as it happened i didn't take a helmet or those pads i carefully dug out of the cupboard.......i didnt get batteries for my walkie talkies and i forgot to hydrate myself for the day and i really really really need to stop taking the wrong lenses on jobs!!

these issues aside there really was a lot happening in london town and as the police prepared to batter would be protestors (and photographers), a whole lot of people who were out for a bit of a ruck finished their stellas and had a fight...

and lastly....where did all the cameras come from. at times i thought that we were at a canon sponsored event. or maybe nikon were handing out yet more cameras at tube stations to try and entice the last few people (including me) without a pair of d3's

lambs, mileage and sleep...

i'm fairly tired but i remembered I hadn't written anything up here for a long time. i've been keeping busy whether that be on the latest paid job, the latest unpaid job, sanding down my road frame, driving countless miles trying to decide which is preferable between the m4 and a303 and cooking quinoa for the first time.

i've also been busy with rhys trying to put the finishing touches (or maybe just touches) to my new website. hopefully it will be ready about the same time the above set of pictures will be...

busy day..

had a busy day of paperwork today, but did manage to sneak out for a few hours in between the rain and the almost raining large storm clouds...

after reading the headlines through the crack in the door at my local chain supermarket i decided the park would be more productive than reading about the latest z listers and their problems...

londons expensive...

londons a funny place...more money...less money...more work...less work...this is what  most people talk about.  the best value thing in london but the most expensive too (?) has to be the pulic transport. now i don't get buses or tubes regularly but if you check my accounts for last year i did...that was until i got a little bike to pootle about town on...

cheaper and more fun...

well this is my latest ride. needs a bit of work but here it is straight from the ebay..

proposal...

this is me being an assistant....just returned after a bagel run

proposal....not quite the commitment you were thinking, but trying to write out some plans for the future. its hard to get down an idea of some photograph - or photographs for that matter that you want to take.  its times like these you wish you had usb port in your head - then print out the idea in times new roman size 12 and it would just be....easy....
