Revealing the light in the darkest of places ...

Well, with just over 24 hours to go before emabarking on the India epic I have been reading an article by Larry Louie, the current Travel Photographer of the Year. Plenty of hints and tips, if only I can find a group of boys playing cricket in the streets of Agra, with the Taj Mahal in the background ... Assignment set ...

Some amazing images posted on his website which could tell a thousand stories ... What is really unusual about his work is that it is mostly monochromatic ... An interesting take ...

Have you met Miss Jones ...

On Saturday night I had the opportunity to catch up with some friends who I hadn't seen in ages, the occasion being Miss Jones' leaving dinner. I say the occasion was Miss Jones' leaving dinner, though that should probably be Mrs Richardson's leaving dinner, as we all know that she married the lovely Matt quite a few years ago now!




It was great to spend time with the St Anthony's crew both past and present, and to remember some of the weird and wonderful stories we were all part of together. (Anyone want a mars bar or a can of coke? How about an ice-cream?) It is a strange thing, but a wonderful thing as well to know that in one sense everything has changed, but in another sense nothing has changed. The threads of friendship continue to weave our story together and I feel priveledged to have walked even just part of the journey with some amazing people who have shown such courage and tenacity, and my life is richer for it!


To Shirley, Matt and Carrys. May the road rise to meet you, and the wind be at your back!
