Holiday's nearly two thirds over? You're kidding me on!

It's been nearly two weeks since I posted anything on this blog. I feel I should explain for the lack of activity on the photography front.

The main reason is that I have been in employment lately. Having a job that steals your weekend and leaves you weary after twelve-hour shifts does not bode well for photography - I dread to think the thickness of dust that will collect on my camera once I become a doctor. Moreso is the fact that I've been trying to get driving lessons sorted out. It turns out that driving is a tough one for me, for lack of experience or similar excuses. And then there's my beloved friends from home, with their tendency to draw me out clubbing or pubbing whenever possible. Bless them! They're brilliant.

All this, as you would guess, left me with no time to snap even one picture. Fear not however, fellow citizens of the internet, for opportunities (note plural) will arise once again. This time next week I will be in Aviemore, Scotland, hungrily snapping up pictures of motorcycle parades and smokey barbeques. A few weeks after that and I'll be jetting to Croatia with a Cambridge friend, letting you see Split, Dubrovnik and Sarajevo through the eyes of a seventeen-fifty. Then, in tremendously well coordinated fashion, I'll be in Cambridge on the 29th September, aiming to be there on the first second of the Normal Period of Residence. Sweet.

Meanwhile, you can help me by telling people about this blog or subscribing. There's definitely an addictive nature about blogging, assuming material for it Publish Postis available, and it means you can see the world as I see it. Colour, shape, form, opinions and all.

Have a good Sunday!

London

A little bit of a delay since my last post. I've recently taken up a job and so have been quite busy with that. There's not really been that much time for photography until last Saturday when I went to London to see some friends. It was quite an ambitious journey time-wise: night bus on Friday down and night bus on Saturday back on. There was no further money spent on hostels, but it did mean I had quite an uncomfortable sleep for those two days.

Regardless, I got the camera going, and managed to grab a few shots. There weren't all that many, since I was content just to have a nice lie at the Diana memorial in Hyde Park.

Fantastic Mr Fox was indeed in that direction. He gave me biscuits and a newspaper.

Pedalos! Many of them!

Not sure what that building's meant to be actually

By this time it was about 3.00pm in the afternoon. A few people finally decided to stop lazing around and go visit places. For the sake of speed we hopped over to the museums for a look. First the British museum of science, and then the Natural History museum.

The small details in the museum are fantastic to get shots of.

Many species of minerals live in this room, composed of many different variation of chemicals.

I think this format is okay, but do let me know if you want more text and less captions. Peace out for now!
