Charge!

Saturday 22nd February 2014, 3.10pm (day 912)

Charge! 22/2/14

Joe and I went to York today, which is certainly the most interesting place easily reachable from my house (we have a direct train), and ranks up with Edinburgh and Oxford as one of Britain’s best and most attractive (but also busiest) cities. Today there was some kind of medievalist festival on, and these guys were going through their paces for the cameraman and director to the right. I would like there to be better light on this shot but I think it captures their movement pretty well.

Joe shakes hands with himself

Saturday 15th February 2014, 2.20pm (day 905)

Joe in mirror, 15/2/14

As seen in the National Media Museum, Bradford, today, A concave mirror and some easy-enough positioning for the cameraman. I like the playing-card effect on this one. Technically it is also a self-portrait.

Outside Selfridges, Manchester

Wednesday 12th February 2014, 4.15pm (day 902)

Outside Selfridges, 12/2/14

I will only add that tonight is a foul night, a real stinker. I hope this guy, and the thousands like him, end up somewhere warm, safe and dry.

Casper awaits his baptism

Sunday 9th February 2014, 11.05am (day 899)

Casper, 9/2/14

A bit blurred, I know, but I like it anyway, and seeing as Casper’s christening was the main event of the day, I should pick a shot directly related to it. He is the son of my cousin David, pictured here holding him, and his wife Emily (to right). Well done to them all, and a nice day was had.

I can never remember though, does this make Casper my second cousin? Or first cousin once removed? I pass.

In the pub, Saturday afternoon

Saturday 8th February 2014, 4.15pm (day 898)

In the pub, 8/2/14

Another familiar scene, but these are my habits. Special guest appearances by Mr Steve Grey (right) and a couple from Bradford, so they said.

Clare at Victoria station

Friday 7th February 2014, 1.50pm (day 897)

Clare, Victoria station, 7/2/14

Gosh, I made it into Manchester. But because this was a potentially traumatic experience, the wife came with me, and we didn’t stay for all that long.

Joe, in the Italian restaurant

Friday 31st January 2014, 7.20pm (day 890)

Joe, restaurant, 31/1/14

It’s been a strange week, but it ended as many do, and certainly resembled the start of most of those weekends that come just after pay day — that is, we ate out. Here’s to the weekend.

Clare and Joe in Argos

Sunday 26th January 2014, 1.00pm (day 885)

Shopping, 26/1/14

Not that I typically do this retail therapy crap. But sometimes, needs must. Joe tries to make out he’s taking an interest.

Last day of school

Friday 20th December 2013,3.05pm (day 848)

Clare, Riverside. 20/12/13

Clare awaits the emergence of our son, which like all things he has done his whole life, will happen in its own sweet time. One way or another, two weeks off for the lot of us.

Altogether now… “in the old times…. in the old times…. in the old times… this was… NOT A CRIME!” If you don’t know this band, shame on you. You really should check them out.

Having originally commented that this photo could have been improved had I not been  without any proper photo software, I have since changed it: going monochrome helped a lot I think.
