Last night was foggy. So much so that i couldn't see to drive home. I like the way the street lamps light the fog, and i like the way the camera accentuates this, making it look like the sky is on fire.

The Waterside

author: Jamie : Derry, Northern Ireland

I'm reminded lately of the younger, more carefree me of a few years ago. It seems like another lifetime but i'm thinking back to 2002 here. I lived in Northern Ireland at that time and i used to travl around, a lot. And i'm remembering a time i was sent to (London)derry on a job. I'm reminded by a photo i've just seen of a mural. Loyalist mural based on the 'Eddie' character used by the group Iron Maiden. cain.ulst.ac.uk I didn't take this photo, but i have seen this mural first hand. I wish i'd taken photos of stuff like this....

You Gotta Count Your Ducklings Before You Touch the Turntable

author: Jamie : Horncastle, UK

So, last night i had a fast food craving and went to McDonald's, and i know what you're thinking, and i agree, but it's comfort food. A mothfull of soggy cheeseburger and a gulp of strawberry milkshake reminds me of being a kid. So, my car has a hole in it's exhuast, which makes it sound cool. I drove to the McDonalds drivethru, and i dunno if this is a UK specific thing, but the drivethru is where the chavs hang out. In their suped up vauxhall novas, alloy wheels, furry dice hung from the rear view mirror. The Kevins...

Bring on the Clowns

author: Jamie : Mablethorpe, UK

Normally i don't like to post a single photo on it's own, but i found this one whilst digging through some old stuff. These guys live at the back of an old open air amusement arcade near the seafront in Mablethorpe, Lincolnshire. Evil clowns. I was always scared of clowns as a child. Most amusement seaside arcades used to have a version of "The Laughing Clown". A lifesize clown dummy in a glass cabinet with a money slot. When you fed him the correct change he'd start manickly laughing his tits off. I remember i used to shit myself, but...

View for Rent

author: Jamie : Horncastle, UK

What kind of a view does £300 a month get you in this town? This kind, that's what. Much nicer than the view i used to enjoy from my first floor* maisonette on a run down housing association estate. * American readers: for first floor read second floor. Here in the UK we start from "ground floor" and work upwards, whereas you, quite sensibly, start with "first floor" I never really took many photos of churchill avenue, there are some of the outdoor sofas but i think that's about it. I'd go back and take more, but as a non-resident, i don't think...

Sometimes This Odd Notion Passes Through My Head

author: Jamie : Peterborough, UK

Sometimes this odd notion passes through my head; and if i were to postulate on a scientific theory to back up my notion i would have to state my belief that time is donut shaped. This odd notion that everything, everything is predestined. Scripted. Fated. I suppose it isn't unusual for one to believe in the notion of fate. But it's a relatively new way of thinking for me. It easy to recognise patterns in retrospect. Individuals seemingly drawn back into the same circles like flies to a bugzapper, magnets to a fridge door, fluff to a belly button. For better...
