It’s that time of year again when there is mention of The 100 Day Project, this year it starts on 18th February which is not that far away. I’ve not given any thought as to whether I might join in this time, but it has made me realise I never did publish this blogpost with all 100 of my 5×5 inch collages which I did for the project in 2023.… Read the rest

Today is day 100 of my 100 Day Project, I have done 100 portraits of people who sent me photos, I have posted every day for 100 days, I have not missed one day, yay for me! However my smugness is somewhat diminished by the fact that I spent a couple of hours on Friday night writing a blogpost about the experience, which only needed a photo or two added to it today and it would be ready to publish, but some utter eejit* failed to save it, so I’m having to write it all over again.… Read the rest

30/4/21 EDITED TO ADD: I wrote this blogpost a while ago, but never published it, so I will publish it today, the last day in April, a month in which I have reposted an old blogpost everyday on Instagram and Facebook
I took part in an ongoing monthly Swapbot postcard swap for the whole of 2020, the theme was “Facetime” , and each one had to be a portrait of a person or animal, and be in portrait orientation.… Read the rest

Day 36 of my 100 Day Project seems a good time to do a follow up blog post , not least because 36 photos create a pleasing 6 x 6 grid. I am enjoying the project so far, and I’m amazed how many people I don’t know in real life have sent me photos of themselves for me to mess about with.… Read the rest

This is my first blogpost since my website got updated and things look different, it looks much more plain, so I need to
add a photo here
