Recently took a trip to Dungeness. The old light house focusing glass optic things were beautiful.

Market square in Marrakech.

Not had much head space for photography recently. This came off the end of a roll from our last trip.

Recent trip to Marrakech.

Hot dam metering for the vast differences in light in the same frame was tough.

Most the frames on this roll were underexposed.

Ah well. So it goes.

I do love the light on the beach as the tide goes out.

15 years working in software has effected me deeply.

I am now the Pat Butcher of tech.

The wife and the daughter aren’t about, so the pooch is seizing the oppurtunity to be a little fusspot.

A winters walk in Caernarfon.

Taken over the holiday period in 2024.

It was one of those walks where you didn’t really want to go, but accepted you needed a break from eating, drinking and Christmas movies.

Black & white film photography can be hard. Just going through a reel shot around Christmas.

This one’s from a little walk in the woods. My wife and daughter.

After my little girl was born she had to spend a couple of days on this teeny tiny sunbed to help with jaundice.

This picture speaks of those first few days in hospital. She made it home early Christmas Day 2023.

At 6’4 and built like a shed. I am not the kind of individual strangers approach in the street.

Today while carrying my lunch I got stopped three times by random people in five minutes.

I can only assume carrying a foot long sub makes me somewhat more comical & approachable 🤷😂

If only one meme could define my career as a programmer. This would be it.

There’s a little hermitage in woodland not far from my house.

It has this beautiful window in it.

Great thing about only having sheep for neighbours.

When you wake up with a song in your head, you can blast it while breakfasting.

Been rocking a Neurodiversity Pin Badge on my over-shirt today.

Proud & relieved to be making peace with who I am.

Although of course the tiny hole in my overshirt made by the badge is massively irritating me.

Got to fire off a couple of rolls of film at a wedding recently.

I don’t think I will be giving up the day job.

I run a little software development house in Caernarfon.

The local coffee house sells us these 1kg bags of coffee, roasted in town.

On a recent work trip, I took a quick tour of the Barbican before catching the train home.

I wouldn’t fancy taking the emergency stairs out of the towers.

In the waiting.

Taken a couple of weeks before the birth of our first child.

We rented a holiday let in Mousehole, Cornwall and hunkered down to enjoy our last child free holiday for a while.

Reading new news about DeepSeek ripping off OpenAI and feeling vindicated that I have kept this in the office.
