Norfolk, originally uploaded by Jebaloo.

Out walking my granny’s dogs I’m Fakenham, Norfolk. Pretty miserable
here actually!

New York Rocks, originally uploaded by Jebaloo.

You can’t deny that this city has that certain something. I got a great deal, btw, on my flights to new york here.

Ski tunnel, originally uploaded by Jebaloo.

I’m used to skiing through this tunnel at full pace, so it’s strange
to be strolling through it in the blistering heat surrounded by wild
flowers and horses. That’s my mum silhouetted.

You know when you forget that your camera is still on…, originally uploaded by Jebaloo.

…I love these uninentional arty blurrs that often result. I think
you can get away with artsy blurrs, as long as it’s not false stuff,
just genuine accidental. Aside from a few exceptions, post-production
blurr is always a bit naff imo (but everyone’s susceptible to
temptation and I’ve fallen fowl to it more than once ;)

The French Alps, originally uploaded by Jebaloo.

A la iPhone.

I’m on my summer hols, and although today here in St. Martin the
weather is anything but summery, the low mist makes for a suitably
majestic mountain scene. More photos to come.

p.s that’s my dad there on the right.

Whilst I’m busy getting settled in London, enjoy this:

Having made the move from Edinburgh to London, I’m now heading into my second week of employment as a photographer! I’m working full-time producing architectural and interior photography, and the best bit of that I get a company scooter to get around London in! Actually, the work is the best part - I love having a job that means I’m not stuck in an office all day long. Such a good decision, and I’m so glad I got it!
Understandably I’ve been a little run off my feet getting used to everything and so haven’t had a chance to get going on the heavy editing work required for my recent Edinburgh to London project. So… in order to stave off the guilt for a while, I’ve scanned in the contact sheets which I just picked up from the developers. I was using an old medium format Hasselblad camera for the trip, and though most of the photos I took were on my D200, the quality and ‘feel’ created by the Hasselblad is too pleasing to resist. Unfortunately, development costs are somewhat prohibitive.

Below are some thumbnails, but I’ve uploaded them at full resolution so if you click on them you should be taken to a full-size version hosted on flickr.

Enjoy for now, and eventually I’ll get round to finishing the real editing work.

I’m feeling a bit obsessed with colour lately, and these Lee filtersJeder Blackjack Spieler online roulette der Reihe nach einmal gegen die Bank (Runde). are a total blast to play with!

????????

Click on the photos for MASSIVE versions. I thought that they would make rather good desktop images, so once you’ve clicked on them, press ‘all sizes’, and you’ll find v v large copies up there for you to download.

Enjoy your weekend!
