Story time!

Last week Europe experienced a scorching heatwave, and at its zenith of ~38° here in London we took a picnic in a park we recently moved beside.

And sitting there — in the yellowing, thirsty, summer grass — and the sausages cooked in a George Foreman to avoid switching an oven on in the heat — and the ants, and blankets, and melting ice cream —

— it rained. 

HARD!

This is us escaping.



My shirt was still wet the following evening. I’m dumbfounded we got rained on in a record-setting heatwave, but I do love a photo with a story.

I love how small the shard makes tower bridge look in the bottom left here. 

Another Paesano shot from saying goodbye to Glasgow, with three weeks left.

Saying goodbye to Glasgow — T-minus 21 days. 

Sometimes I need reminding to Eat A Vegetable.

I love shooting trees, but find them really tricky to edit. If you’re reading this: any tips? Suggestions to improve the above? Autumn is a sea of colours I just can’t capture to my satisfaction!

The skylight of an old flat. Always enjoyed the light from it.

Another gorgeous photo from dog sitting. Here I learned it’s sometimes better to manually focus with a slow auto. The X100T’s auto is too slow for this fast fast boy, but I could manually get some excellent focus. Look at his eyes! I’m very proud of this — really felt like I learned something in that moment. 

Can’t beat a crab from Craster; can’t beat pasta made by an Italian; all the stars aligned for this little crab linguine. Delicious.

Autumn leaves with an old m43. Good thing I learned how to edit since…!

I love shots like this. The geometry makes for an _excellent_ phone background!

This has often made for quite a nice desktop background. Winter’s perfect for these shots!

The number of “it looks just like hogwarts!”-es as first years start is effectively the soundtrack of September

This Kelvingrove spot is always my camera testing site. Always a good model!

I’d take credit for the cake, too, if the other half wasn’t clearly the real chef…
