We went to Debbie and Annette’s hugely enjoyable  joint birthday party at the weekend and I managed to shoot some photos of lots of old friends partying. I used the compact camera and the light was really difficult so I have rendered them as black and whites so that the image shortcomings look arty. The photos are here.

I shot this pleasing panorama of the Thames today using my iPhone from the balcony of the Tate Modern. This photo is actually made up of several photos shot on the iPhone and then stitched together into a single panoramic photo using software on the iPhone itself – very clever and great fun.

Jane Grant held a party dedicated to drinking margaritas and celebrating her birthday in passing. The food was great and the company delicious. I decided to process the photos from the party as Black and Whites, partly because I am just really into B&W photography at the moment but also because the colour information in photos taken in low light with a compact camera (as these were) is often poor and thus a distraction . The photos are here.

We gathered for a family barbecue at my brother’s flat in Caledonian Road at the weekend. It was also a chance to say goodbye to the place, scene of many a family gathering over recent years, because in a few weeks Chris and his family will be moving on. The photos are here.

I finally got around to sorting and uploading the photos from the trip Isabel and I made to Scotland back in June. On the way there we stopped off in Morecombe for a short visit before starting our holiday in Scotland in Crianlarich where we walked some of the West Highland way before moving on to Loch Lomond.

Then we spent some days with Isabel’s family at Lochgoilhead where, amongst other things, we undertook a marathon Trivial Pursuits contest over several evenings. Finally Isabel and I went on to the wonderful Isle of Arran for a few days before returning home. The photos are here.

Isabel and I spent a very pleasant day wandering around the impressive, and pleasingly empty, Maritime Museum at Greenwhich before getting the boat back to Westminster – the weather and the day was perfect. Here are some photos.

I took a really nice little trip on my brother’s boat back in July and I finally got around to sorting our the photos from the day – so here they are.

I jumped aboard his boat down by the Angel and went thought the long, and rather daunting, tunnel to Kings Cross and then on to Camden Lock. All in all a really pleasant way to spend an afternoon.

We looked after our two nephews, Max and Ronnie, this week and after flying (or rather trying to fly) a kite on the Heath we played with a giant bubble maker. The results were amazingly photogenic – so here are some photos. To see all the photos click here.
