Well, I didn’t quite manage a totally legit one-a-day – to get the whole thing done has taken slightly over a year. But this shot here is the last of my 365. A sunset behind a telegraph pole seemed like a fitting end.
On to the next thing.

Another holiday photo from two years ago, this time from Amsterdam. Yes, you’ve got me. This isn’t actually any sort of attempt to make art at all. This is all just the digital-era equivalent of the boring bloke down the road who makes you sit through all the slides he’s had made of his two weeks in Torremolinos. So you just sit there drinking your Blue Nun, while I get the next batch ready, OK?
A shot from my trip to Toronto. Yes, also two years ago now. In another six months, I should have just about caught up to the present day.
Yeah, I know, you wait for ages, then a load come a long at once. Tough. This one’s from some shots of The Correspondents at White Mischief. But not the one that I was at the other week, oh no. These are from May 2009. It’s taken me over two years to get around to putting this set of shots onto Flickr. I honestly don’t have a good reason why, I just got distracted by a shiny thing, and then forgot about them. But here they are. I know some of you are fans of Mr Bruce here, and some of you will be once you’ve taken a look, so go ahead and click through to Flickr for a few more.
Juggling, it turns out, is surpisingly hard to take good photos of. Still, I’m fairly happy with this one.
You might recall a photo of mine from some years ago, featuring a woman and a snake. It’s the most popular photo I’ve ever taken, as measured by flickr (largely because I got linked by Warren Ellis and then BoingBoing). Well, by coincidence, the lady in question happened to be performing at White Mischief the other week. So I got some new shots of her, and I rather like this one – sufficiently different to my previous work to be worth sharing, I think.
I was at this conference today, and made this notebook, in addition to sphericising tomato puree, having fun with miracle fruit, watching some extremely interesting musical performances, and making a little plasticine octopus monster. The notebook contains the phrase “Hugo was rescued from the attic of a dead magician”, which in addition to being a factual statement made by one of the speakers today, is possibly the finest story prompt I have ever heard.
Not sure how many of them I’ll wind up putting on line, but here’s one of the few shots I like from last weekend’s White Mischief/House of Hapsburg event.
I was saving my favourite for last, to actually post on Halloween. And then, predictably, I got distracted. Better late than never, right?
