I’m seldom more than a few metres from a camera and I generally have one in my pocket, bag or car. These are a few snaps from my various travels.

Langley Tavern and Lepe Beach
Went out to the New Forest to visit my mother, in the little red MX5. While we were there, I took the opportunity top gather some images of Lepe Beach and the now dilapidated Langley Tavern. I also took a few snaps of my shiny new Eton S350DL multiband radio.

Road trip to Shoreham
I arranged to meet up with an on-line photographer friend in Shoreham, in Sussex. I had arrange to collect a pair of fluorescent plat-panel continuous studio lights from him. I decided to make a few stops en route and grab a few snaps. For some strange reason, large, out-of-place structures always seem to interest me….

Hungarian rebels against the “Microsoft Tax”
[Reproduced from DEOSS ] Seems that Micro$haft’s corporate enslavement permeates far beyond the English-speaking world. A long and complex legal battle is currently raging in the former Eastern Bloc state of Hungary. APEH (the Hungarian Tax Office) has decided that all Hungarian businesses now have to submit their tax returns on-line. This would not be…

Go Trabi Go!
I found myself at the 50th Anniversary Trabifest in Zwickau in the former East Germany. Not sure I fully understand the enthusiasm for these funny little cars – though I did find myself becoming bitten by the bug. I guess there is a large cultural element to this phenomenon. It seems the humble Trabi has…

A cyber café for thirty quid? Farcical or feasible?
“10 pc Cybercafé for 30ukp!!!!” was the triumphant claim of a recent post on the Puppy Linux users forum… http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?search_id=326686869&t=12714 Thirty pounds sterling is about fifty US dollars – not a lot of money. Needless to say my colleagues and I were intrigued and perhaps even a tad sceptical. More intriguing was the claim that…

A wander through Shirley, Southampton
Today I took a wander through the Southampton suburb of Shirley, mostly to photograph the graffiti in a little alley called Harrison’s Cut. The artwork is actually quite stunning in places, though I don’t suppose the homeowners are terribly happy about it. I used my new Lumix DMC-LX1 point-and-shoot digital camera. Considering its diminutive size,…
