Welcome All / by Mister Tom

 So,
This blogging lark.
I thought it might be fun to be honest.
And occasionally someone other than me might look at something or other i make and go  

"oooooooo"

which is nice

So, my motives two:

I'm getting fed up of organising photos and never really deciding which I like the best, because things like flikr can just fill up and have no context to them. Its just photos. And I never really look at my picks again. Besides, what I love is TAKING photos, and I want something that remembers that rather than post editing.

I might keep a diary if I ever thought I would read it again. It would be entertaining to look back in time and have some sort of idea what I was up to. But then I don't think that if I had anything exciting to say I would have time left to write about it. 
What I would like though is a visual record of snapshots and comments, to remember people I meet, things I do and places I go. Since I take the photos anyway, there's my medium. Plus an intro, and kasam! Blogtastic.

I apologise in advance for any bouts of soliloquy. (look it up - i did)  I will try to keep rants and philosophy to a minimum unless it relates to the photographs or how I felt when taking them. 

So, without further ado I shall begin the narrative with a recent trip I took. I hope you like it. 

Tally Ho!


This was a little trip to kew gardens in London, my second in fact, while my girlfriend was in an interview. My mood was one of being very sleepy (last night having slept on a floor after a rock concert after driving 4 hours etc etc) but very determined to have a jolly good relaxing morning before driving another 4 hours.
So of course it was a hugely blustery day with heavy showers that came and sat on you periodically and then ran off sniggering when you reached cover. As such much time was spent smelling lovely warm tropical smells in the glass houses.













Next
4 hour drive to grandparents in somerset,
i said "hey, we might be passing stone henge" 30 second silence, oh look, there it is.
With a cloud torn sky that couldn't better suit the wiltshire downs.
















Any comments, tips etc regarding the photography or anything would be much appreciated as always.
