Hard at work – in bed, originally uploaded by Random_Reality.

Did I do one yesterday? Blimey, I’m going mad. This is me, working, in bed, doing writey stuff.

Drink, originally uploaded by Random_Reality.

Actually a pint of John Smiths, not that more famous Irish based pint.
If I start photographing books I’ll have run out of material…

Hard At Work, originally uploaded by Random_Reality.

Round my mum’s place working on an article for Engineer magazine. Taken with an iPhone under rather poor light.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it is to guess what that hospital canteen food is…

Good luck, I ate it and I’m not sure.

Speeling, originally uploaded by Random_Reality.

You’d think that living and working in WhitechapEL would mean that you make sure the sign-writers spell your shops location correctly…

I wonder – If a sign-writer misspells your sign, do you have to pay?

Portrait of the artist, originally uploaded by Random_Reality.

Taken 60 seconds ago. Partly an experiment to see how easy it is to blog a photo using nothing but an iPhone from start to finish.

Answer?

Very easy.

Pots, originally uploaded by Random_Reality.

Another photo from my holiday in America. This one is of a stack of pots in a market. I’ve applied a ‘sketch’ filter in order to cunningly disguise the atrocious lack of focus in the original shot.

What can I say – my camera was new…

Hose Reel, originally uploaded by Random_Reality.

Trying to be all arty-farty in my mum’s garden. I think I should have made the depth of field a shade larger.

I like the colours though.

Cowboy Falling On His Arse, originally uploaded by Random_Reality.

While in Utah we got to see a rodeo. I obviously took my camera along in the hopes of seeing someone fall off…

Isn’t that what it’s all about?

Here is a fella falling off a bull. The image has been photoshopped a fair bit as there were a load of men standing along the red fencing in the background, but it made it look cluttered so I took them out.

I am proud of my photo-manipulation skills, especially as I’m using Photoshop Elements in ‘Classic’ mode on my Macbook.

Awkward lighting for action stuff though as the sun was just setting.

The Adopted Cat, originally uploaded by Random_Reality.

The stray cat that adopted my mum and brother. It disappeared for two weeks after my mum threw it out the house, she was really upset about it.

Now it’s back she’s taken to swearing at it again.

It doesn’t always give me dirty looks like that…
