What a nightmare ….
6 days and counting, the UK government has drafted in Sunderland’s adopted warship HMS Ocean to bring home stranded Brits from abroad. The Icelandic volcanic eruption has a lot to answer for costing British airlines $200m a day.
HMS Ark Royal and HMS Albion have also been drafted in to bring people home.

Sitting waiting for my Sunday dinner and reading the papers. Image taken on HTC phone.
I don’t post my fine art on the internet as once it is seen then people pinch your ideas and copy it, but I’ll post this one as it is one of my weaker shots but it it still a nice delicate image and I’m sure the women who view this will like it.

…because I’ve ran out of shots to edit and I’m going through old stuff re-editing them and hopefully processing them better than I had previously, here is a shot I took about a year ago at Pallion Shipyard, Pallion Shipyard was the largest builder of ships in Europe until it got closed down, Sunderland football clubs old badge used to have a ship on it as ships were our biggest export, it is such a shame to see the shipyard in decay, they used to be big impressive buildings full of marble and expensive furnishings, now you are lucky if you can see the floor because of all the pigeon shite.

…since I done a post so I better post one to keep my blog alive, well I have been super busy so haven’t had much John time, I haven’t even had the time to do any personal photo shoots or TFP shoots for portfolio building so here is a shot I found on my hard drive that I didn’t bother editing before now, it is a film scan off when I shot Trevor training at his gym. Ilford HP5+ developed in ID-11 for 9 minutes, I always go over with my development times to add a bit of extra contrast.
