  • The View from the Office

    I wasn’t thinking of the film Blue in the Face when I started this but…

    So I started taking photographs from the office kitchen window around 2009 when we moved offices and tumblr was still a thing.

    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 until I was several months in.
