Charlotte’s Jersey ice-cream Parlour, 6th February
On this particularly cold, wet and windy Sunday, we decided to turn our noses up at the weather and go on a wee trip to a local ice-cream parlour near Huddersfield with our friends Liz and Jonny.
It is surrounded by farmland in which they keep many animals including a bunch of Jersey cows. It’s the milk from these cows that goes on to make the amazing ice-cream. If you’re ever in the area, definitely worth a visit, especially if you have kids.
Just to note, the cows were closed up sheltered from the weather so I couldn’t get any shots of them. Next time the weather’s nice I’ll be sure to get some.

New Adventures in Web Design, Nottingham
I went to Nottingham for the first conference hosted by Simon Collison. I didn’t take too many photos as I spent much of the time catching up with old friends as well as making new ones.

Some shots from Christmas 2010
Just a select few shots from the Christmas break. A little overdue but better late than never.
Drinks at Mr & Mrs Dower’s house
We had our Yorkshire Christmas a few days after the 25th. Before heading to my Mum’s house, we stopped by my CEO’s for some drinks.
Christmas dinner and drinks with my family
I only took a few shots at my Mum’s house but here they are.

Driving home for Christmas
Sorry to put Chris Rea in your heads but it seemed a fitting title, since we were actually driving home for Christmas when I took this shot.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Joel Meyerowitz by Colin Westerbeck
The last few months I’ve been growing more and more interested in photography. Not just the practical side but the rich history that goes with it. On my journey for knowledge I came across Joel Meyerowitz, a photographer based in New York. He is probably most well known for his work as a street photographer but also does lots of work using a large format camera.
I decided to grab a book of his work and the things I see in it really grabbed me. The thing I like most about the book is with each photograph there is a short piece of text telling the story behind the shot or an analysis of why he took the shot in the first place. To me it makes looking at the photos that much more interesting. You can really project yourself into the space and get a real sense of what was going on around him. If you’re a fan of street photography, this book is for you.

Christmas has begun
Christmas is awesome and the decorations go up early in our house.

The snow continues…
Yesterday brought more snow which, whilst I love snow in all it’s snowflakey goodness, made it difficult to shoot on my wanders through Halifax. This morning was a lot calmer so I managed to take more shots on my way to work (yet again).

Movember 30th
I made it all the way through November without shaving my top lip! It’s not as difficult as I thought it would be to be honest so will definitely be taking part again next year.
For the final day I decided to do a silly shot.

Walking in a Winter Wonderland
Well, sort of. Halifax isn’t exactly a wonderland. Anyway, here are some Wintery shots taken this morning on my customary walk from the train station to the coffee shop.
