  • Roadside 30-10-18

    Roadside or ‘in the middle of the road’, I’m not sure.

    Roadside 30-10-18

    I’d recommend the Nunwell Trail from the Visit Isle of Wight website. Its starts and ends quite easily but be warned either the author got a little distracted or perhaps its the lack of landmarks in the middle section but which ever of those it is means you may find yourself wandering around in a field with no idea which of the dozen or so paths you should follow.

    Still, if we hadn’t got so lost we would’ve missed this rather nice sunset. Oh yes, remember to take a torch too – Just in case.

  • Roadside 8-7-17

    A little late posting this but then I had to wait until I came out as an Instagram user.

    Chateau Impney Hill Climb

    Taken during a pause on track at the Chateau Impney Hill Climb. I do like this photo.

    There are a couple more photos from the event up on my other* instagram account, which is more work focused, here.

    *I know, instagram accounts like buses, a long wait like this and now two accounts arrive together 🙂

  • Yet another social network…

    I do quite like photo blogging, see The view from the office, but at the same time I really couldn’t face another social network and I kind of enjoy doing it anonymously* or at least without much thought or the pressure I feel if I’m putting my name to the images.

    I signed up for Instagram a while back, admittedly under my own name, but I didn’t use it very much other than uploading the occasional image I’d taken that I liked or that marked something specific. I didn’t post any descriptions or tags, just liked having a photoblog I didn’t have to think deeply about. I also enjoyed the additional task of making a square composition (Something that has now been completely ruined by the changes made to the platform).

    I’d forgotten that sometime ago it was bought by facebook and while I had chosen not to link the two it seems facebook looked at my details it has, decided to put two and two together, and invited all my facebook friends to follow me there.

    I’m still resolutely not adding twenty hashtags to each and every post so I refuse to fully play their game but yes, I’m coming out! I am on instagram (very occasionally). Find me @chrishathway.

    So to start here is a photo from Brimham Rocks, which were resolutely more impressive and enjoyable than the National Trust website suggested – if you are in the area, do go check them out

    (I should warn any potential visitors that its £7 on the car park and theres no change machine. Or you could just risk it…)

    *I can’t tell you about my other photo blogs, well, because…

  • Looking for The Barbican Bootleg

    Frizzi 2 Fulci at The Barbican in October 2014

    I’m trying to track down, and willing to buy*, a copy of Frizzi 2 Fulci – The Barbican Bootleg on Beat Records Company.

    I was at the Frizzi 2 Fulci show at London’s Barbican for Halloween in 2014 and it was a great night. I’ve been to a few film music performances and for the diversity of music and the musicians performing this was certainly one of the best, so I’d recommend it if you like this kind of thing and have the chance.

    Why am I trying to track down a copy of this specific release and posting it on here I hear you ask?

    Well the short answer is because a photo I took on the night was used on the back cover of this release (without my knowledge)

    Frizzi 2 Fulci The Barbican Bootleg Beat Records Company release - photo from eBay

    I only found out about it when a friend sent me a link to a copy that had just sold on eBay. It would seems a few sold on there but I guess, perhaps as the music isn’t fully licensed or something, they only seem to sell this CD at live shows.

  • Roadside 14-1-15

    hmm…

    Number 22 in the apparently increasingly occasional series of roadside photos.

    Roadside 14-1-15 - Peugeot 405, High Peak

    Happy New Year anyway, and Happy Birthday for last year top… sorry that I missed it.

  • The View from the Office

    i started taking photographs from the office kitchen window around 2009 when we moved offices. One each morning while the computers are warming up at around 8am. Dates are approximate as I tend to upload a weeks worth and file them to filter in to the tumblr over the following week.

    I changed camera once  during this and also I seem to have lost a bunch of early ones, due largely to not thinking of setting up a tumblr to upload/archive them.
