I have to admit, I was wrong really wrong, the other day i thought manchester was sunny and in full summer mood. Today it has rained non stop, but not like normal rain, its literally like someone has turned the shower on a just left a cold shower running.
– theres not even puddles just flooding –– its wet –– this is a light in front of a light –
smashed a glass, eat junk food at work, still at work not leaving anytime soon. cant say where I am or what i’m doing, but i can say its gunna be a busy week, but im determined to do my 3 photos a day!
– I felt bad for breaking a glass in my hotel, so left the cleaner a note –– one love manchester –– office snacks aren’t helping the holiday bod –
two day has been a day of two halfs, a missed train from reading to Manchester, an angry taxi driver who tried to hold me as a hostage of a mistake that his comms office and a lost jumper (it was my new favourite), all added to me only having one option grabbing a pint before the next train to Manchester and then sleeping all the way, so now im sat in a pretty swanky hotel room in manchester wide awake!
but over all im pretty happy with the pictures i managed to get, by the way, I cant take any photos of my location or anything this week, so time to get creative. Ive brought a big pack of balloons just in case I run out of ideas and need to make some water bombs or something.
– who said it always rains in Manchester –– cant beat the british country side, is this not a money shot or what –– reading train station: where there is nothing fun to do ever –
at the moment its 7:30 in the morning on saturday and im on a train, doing this post. 2 coffees down and about to dig into my breakfast. its weird doing something like this, because obviously there is zero money involved, apart from me getting excited about camera gear and spunking all my money. but this is slowly becoming just a normal part of my day, take some pictures of things a like then post them, it makes my days feel like 10 times more productive. not sure if the photos or writing is improving but im not too fussed, its just something fun todo each day other than just working and drinking. this is my Saturday morning reflection session over.
– the decision on which one you go for isnt easy –– something out of oliver twist –– line after line –
walking around london in the morning during the summer CAN actually be perfect, to me the best thing todo is leave your house in a t shirt, thats the start of summer.
in other news tomorrow is friday, which has to be the best day in the world. it means weekends and nothing is better than a summer weekend.
so with all that to thing of, heres a few snaps of my walk to work.
– bethnal greens got it all –– if you know this place then you know that man that sells illegal curry from his wheel chair –– i do like a photo of a building –
Last night I was walking to liverpool street from Bank station, something im doing todo on the last days of my office/desk job is to walk from one tube station on another tube along the line i need, just so I dont spend countless hours on the tube when I could be in the sun taking snaps.
– Spot the man –– squeezing new buildings in everywhere –– views –
its been a big week and its only Tuesday night (when I writing this), today I finished work at like 7:45ish and was like screw it im going to westminster to be a proper tourist and just take pictures and just enjoy being in London, something I think im actually doing more and more, I keep finding that I will purposely sometimes go the long route just so I can see some more of this crazy city! I love everything about london, other than the tubes, I hate the tubes.
So here a few snaps of my hour on Embankment last night.
– “make sure you get my good side” –– cant beat a good clock –– We’re watching you –
Im still editing pictures from the other day with flo. so instead of taking pictures of my day and not really showing anything half as good as this little gremlin, heres a few more of florence Kentfeild and one of a cloud.
– shes literally a monkey –– anit nothing stopping her from playing in the rain –– I just thought I would put this weird cloud up –
tip: before “chilling” with flo, make sure you have at least one red bull, other wise you’ve got no hope. the swings, the puddles and the weird baby doll that sounds like chuwbakka all mean you are gunna be running around. its not 11 o clock on Sunday night, I have work in the morning and right now flo as literally killed me. Thanks for that flo! I definitely need to spend more time with that little ball of chaos and would have her any other way!
– I promise this isnt actually that high –– trust me I can catch you –– “is that a squal?” –
Yesterday I my day in stratford shopping centre getting supplies and most importantly new socks. Then in the evening, Amy and me went out for dinner in tower hill. Decent. But nothing comes close to the fact I saw the best storm trooper outfit of my life. I think I could even be a real storm trooper.
Heres the snaps.
– Ive always wanted to see one in person –– close but not cigar –– this could be spain, but its London zone 1 –
