Offset Cam (Day 149)

He's got a shiney new moped.  For once I am jealous.  Looked great in the outdoor lights at night - camera didnt pick much of that up though

Lemonade (Day 148)

Lemon

 

Ooh - something happened and the last couple of days photos havent got through. Sending them again now.

Heres a rip off.  Normal cans here are 50p.  But put a rat pee cover on them, and they go to 90p.  How cool.  Wish I had thought of it.

Its just lemonade though

The simple food sometimes is the nicest.  This was a ploughman's sandwich.  Yummy.

As you can guess by the flare - this wasn't a mobile phone pic.

This way to the Gallery (Day 134) #photoaday

This way to the Gallery

I think this is the best shot I've taken so far with the pinhole camera ap.  This was some amusing graffiti just around the corner from a large concrete 'tunnel' under a road.  Every month the council remove it...  Every month more 'art' is exhibited.

OrtsRect.com (Day 133) #photoaday

Ortsrect

Ok. So I wasn't actually shopping here. I was waiting outside. I have an obsession with trying to take interesting pictures of illuminated shop signs at night. A long, and largely unsuccessful obsession. This was taken with the pinhole camera ap of Retro camera on an Android phone. I do like the film effect. It looks like this was badly cropped but the sign did have some bulbs out.

Katniss Everdeen (Day 122) #photoaday #hungergames

Imag0733_2

My most recent favourite book(s) are the Hunger Games (trilogy).  I've burned through them on Audio book but No1 bought home the actual book today.  Its got this strange folding front cover that through a window you can 'choose your own cover' and choose between Katniss or Peeta (two protagonists..).  I had my own picture of what Katniss looked like but this wasn't too different.  She should have braided hair though...

iPad 2 (Day 120)

Ok - so its finally here.  They have finally updated the UK Apple website to announce the iPad 2.  This comes on a day when a non-techie in the office was talking about the iPad 3 being 'due out in September.'
Imag0729_2
Do I want one?  Yes.  

Did I want the original iPad.  Yes.  

Did I get one?  No.  

Although its a lovely object I'm already paying twice the going rate for my Apple Macbook so I'll be damned if I spend the cost of a reasonable windoze lappy to buy this iPad gadget.

Dont get me wrong.  I'd love one.  If someone bought me one I would be ecstatic - then probably followed by feeling a bit guilty.  Its a truly lovely object but I cant bring myself to buy one.

I dont know the UK price for this - but the US one starts at around $440.  If it meant that this was going to be around £220 here (wishing for the old exchange rates) then I might fork out for one.  But as it stands I'll wager they will be around £399 here.  

Sorry Apple not this time.  

Again.
