Go ahead!

Ok, I've got my camera working, and I'm off on holiday next week so I'll try and catch some moments.

I've looked the word up to give me some ideas.


Y'know what they say. Red sky at night, Ankh-Morporks Alight.

Reg made a bilingual jokule today. As he was really proud of it, I'm posting it here.

Reg : so what's the competition about this time ?
Me : "Moment"
Reg : Hmm. Well, maybe if you could find an anthill and dig it up and find the queen, you could take a picture of her.
Me : ... ???
Reg : Well... yeah. She's the Mum-ant, see.


Yes, I know. Groan.


Edit : Hsing, what's the finish date for the comp ?


Damn Spider pig

Are we not going to use the same month end as usual? I mean, there's still a week left of this month and we've already had 9 days... OK, I haven't taken a picture yet, nor do I know what I'll do yet, but a deadline soon will make me think quicker.

Ella: Is it a giraffe?
Me (stops drawing): No
Ella: Star Trek?
Me: Yes!

Ah it's good to know this place hasn't changed. I've been on holiday, failed to take any decent pics, come back and found that the comp hasn't even got off the ground. I've still got some time. Just need the inclination now.

hey guess what I did, yup, I got a camera, now I just have to get home while there is light and I have some energy and thinking ability left and you may just see my part of the world yet! it is a crap $85 camera but if I am good enough at seeing what I'm seeing it may be okay. Watch out here I come.

I thought this was a theme where you could take the best pictures if you just carried your camera around with you, instead of deliberately setting out with it to take some pictures.
But I shall say no more....
