Whistler 2017

Unlike last year, this year I’m actually getting the shots from the Grand Meetup posted shortly after the meetup; I even edited most of these at the meetup itself, but then I had to wait for my film to come back from the lab. This year I took my 70D with a 30mm lens, and […]

60163 Tornado at Paddington

While we were living in London last year, a relative mentioned to me that a modern steam locomotive had been built in the UK and was running on the main lines sometimes. I looked it up, and found out about the amazing LNER Peppercorn Class A1 60163 Tornado, including the fact that it was scheduled […]

SF MOMA

The same day as the vist to the MTC building, I got to visit the new MOMA wing finally. The same great weather made this a lovely experience too, plus some really nice exhibits that were on display.

Bay Area MTC Building

Last Christmas I had the opportunity to take a tour of the new Bay Area MTC building shortly after it opened. In addition to being a lovely refurbishment of an old building, there were some great views of the Bay Bridge on a lovely San Francisco day.

Hampton Court

Another much delayed post. Last year while in London, we visited Hampton Court Palace while the winter market was on. It’s a lovely and interesting site that was originally built by Cardinal Wolsey before being used by Henry VIII once Wolsey fell out of favor. Despite the wintry conditions, there were some nice photos to […]

Whistler, Fall 2016

Following tradition I’m posting the pictures from our last company Grand Meetup very shortly before the next one! Included here are some shots from my Yashica D using a roll of Kodak Ektar 100 that a co-worker kindly brought for those of us that shoot more medium format and could put it to good use. […]

Chichester

This is a much delayed gallery of posts from our visit to Chichester and its cathedral earlier this fall. Despite the traditionally English weather it was still a nice day in a lovely town and church.

My Gaming in 2016

2016 was a good year for gaming for me. I started making lists and making a real effort to work through my backlog before purchasing or starting new games, and as a result made a pretty good dent in things. Inspired by a friend’s post about games he liked in 2016 I thought I’d review […]

Anselm Kiefer, Walhalla

Bit late on this post, but there was an excellent Anselm Kiefer installation/exhibition at a Southwark gallery in London recently. After I was done enjoying it, I went back around to try and capture some of the feel of it. All shots from my iPhone, processed with Darkroom or RNI Films. (fun sidebar: there’s also […]

London Lambeth Walk

Spent Saturday having a nice walk from Waterloo around Lambeth and back up the river, followed by drinks and dinner in Shoreditch. All taken with my iPhone.
