Photography foray

For a mere £1.50 we escaped the dire and dreich weather and visited our  local antiques centre. The huge space is shared between dealers who set out their arrays of multifarious items; a whole confusion of stock, some antique, some purporting to be antique, and then there is the completely baffling.

A diary, but not in the chronological sense

It's been 14 months since I started posting on Shutterchance, pretty much a picture a day and as I look through the archive I am surprised at what a good memory jogger it all is.

Most of the time I do not put titles to the pictures, though the date of posting is there. Many weeks have a rough theme; these are interspersed with random pictures from my chaotic cataloguing.

The sample above includes trips away to Edinburgh, Somerset and the Lake district; rainy day microscopy; walks on Wharton Crags and around Lancaster; a tulip from my mother's garden;  close-up practice.
