Small Plane!

 I have not been on many planes. My air travel (both out and in) can be counted on my fingers. However I can safely say that the plane we boarded on this morning was probably the smallest I’m ever going to go on. It wasn’t quite the comedic ‘is that my plane?’ seen in a number of light hearted films set in and around Alaska or somewhere similarly remote, but I would like to think it was the European equivalent. There were only 11 passengers… including us. It was a surprisingly smooth ride, despite Vicky being served a cuppa just before we hit some turbulence. That was funny.

Camera Crisis

Tomorrow I am off to Sweden. I have the incredibly good luck of being sent there for a business trip. It all sounds much more exciting then it actually is, but I am indefinably grateful all the same. However I have been looking at my ever growing collection of cameras, and I suddenly feel a panic. Which ones do I take? I'm sure for most people this is not an issue, with ownership of a single (usually digital) camera, they can take that, and all the pictures they desire. I am of course taking my DSLR (integral to the business side of the trip), but there are a number of other options regarding my secondary (or even third) camera. In the recent months I have discovered a love for the lomography style of photography, and have been collecting film based camera left right and centre. At the moment my favourites include my Russian gen; Zenit B, a plastic robot camera that I got for Xmas, and my instax instant camera. With space being an issue, I can only really afford to take one. Though the robot camera is so small it could hide in my pocket without me even noticing, that still leave me with the problem of deciding who the last ticket goes to. 

To add a little more confusion, I also have recently acquired some Polaroid film, and I am desperate to put that to use. But because of the expense of it, I am reluctant to use it. A trip to Sweden would be the perfect place to take some shots, but I would only take one or two. This adds one fairly large camera, for very little use.

...I don't need clothes, I’ll think I’ll just take them all and decide when I get there

Facebook Shoes / Home Cinema Server / Avent Calendar

 I found these concept trainers the other night and instantly wanted a pair. I prefer the Facebook shoes over the Twitter pair, but there's a problem. Their only conceptual... they don't exist... yet. 

New Blog / Harry Potter Quick Look / Night Shooting

Welcome to my blog. This is something I've been thinking about doing for a while. I have no idea if I'll be able to keep it up, but I'll give it a go.
