Today saw the first decent amount of snow in these parts for around three years. Just as the light was fading I took a walk around the business park where I work. Many of the pics I took were pretty mediocre but I think this one was pretty good :)

How much can you fit in a JamFactory bag?

Today I’m travelling to London for an overnight stay with Luisa. I’m attending an engagement party this evening so I needed to bring some extra clothes. As we’re planning on spending a bit of time wander around London, I couldn’t really bring a holdall so I’ve turned to my trusty JamFactory bag. On the outside it looks like it couldn’t really fit a great deal but here’s what I’ve managed to cram in:

  • 2 pairs of socks
  • 2 pairs of boxers
  • 1 Diggnation t-shirt
  • 1 MacBook
  • 1 MacBook charger
  • 1 pair of shoes
  • 1 shirt
  • 1 pair of trousers
  • 1 jumper
  • 1 tie
  • 1 peaked beanie
  • 1 point and shoot camera
  • 1 card reader
  • 3 pens
  • 1 tub of hair stuff
  • 1 bottle of CK Crave
  • 1 can of body spray
  • Hand cream
  • 1 DSLR battery charger
  • 1 iPhone charger
  • 1 DSLR USB cable and….
  • 1 DSLR carrying strap

Not bad for a tenner. I’m not sure how many Gavin has in stock, but if you want to find out head over to the JamFactory store.

Now it’s back to my film because I’ve still got an hour and a half left of this train journey : )

Project 365: Day 5 - what have I learned so far?

So earlier this evening I chose my photo for day 5 of Project 365. About half an hour after posting, I reviewed the shots I had taken throughout the day and found a photo which after a second look, I would have much rather preferred to use. I considered switching it but after some thought I decided it went against the spirit of the project.

I don’t consider myself a good photographer, I’ve still a lot to learn, so some shots are bound to be less impressive than others. Since uploading the image, I’ve taken a number of shots which make for much more interesting compositions. Rather than switching the image, I thought it would be better to leave it and chalk it up as part of the learning process.

Today’s lesson: Wait until the end of the day before deciding on your shot. You never know when inspiration will strike or when that ideal shot will reveal itself.

I’m not too keen on the subject of the film but the cinematography looks so bloody good : )
