About Me

Happy go lucky daydreamer... And loving every minute! Also a part time photographer for the best reason, no particular purpose :-D
I have a photo blog at the Opulence Brief , run a Champagne Website but can no longer drink (doctors stole my gallbladder), seem to collect instruments in the vague belief I will be able to play them one day, have another blog somewhere else and have a day job I don't really talk about but it involves making computers do things, but I'm sure people don't want to know too much about it and unfortunately it has nothing to do with space... Blah, blah, blah...
As the sun crests the mountaintops it drinks away the twilight, banishing my soporific lethargy. Aromas of freshly mown grass soaked in dew enrobe me, enriching my senses. The old oak tree's leaves are dappling the sunlight. Skittering patterns diffract though the melting butter dripping from my crumpet, bursting onto the walls in an explosion of light and colour. It makes me stop and think. I pause in flux...
Revel in your time! Great cook , when I remember to buy food. If was surrounded by air guitarists, I think I'd fill in on drums. Indulge in your delight!
Soft warmth suffuses my skin, it radiates with life and joy. My eyes; at once awake and alert, echo with fire that burns deep within my soul. Slowly the corner of my mouth twitches, before my lips form smile; for like every day, today will be a good day...
Sometimes I babble or everything I say is a non sequitur, but you get that, right? Is not intentional. My brain sometimes starts thinking of something else entirely. I think its because there are just too many interesting things in the world! Other times I say nothing, be it because I'm pondering or listening.

My Interests

Photography, Art, Books, Music in all its forms, Cooking, Good Food, Falling Down, Dressing Up, Festivals, Films, B Movies, Computers, Science, Technology, anything interesting and just oh so sightly different...

I'd like to meet:

Never entirely sure why people put they want to meet various celebrities and people from history. Celebrities are just people like you and me; no more, no less. The persona you perceive is generally not them; any illusions you have are likely to be shattered. Not saying I object to meeting them, just I'd treat them like anyone else.
Besides, there are much more interesting people out there that don’t crave fame, power or the spotlight, these are the people I’d like to meet. Also if I met someone like Plato there’d be one hell of a language barrier as I don’t speak ancient Greek and I doubt he speaks English.
Ok so I do understand why people write what they do... Nothing is entirely black and white; just saying why I don't :-)
So... let's see... I think it goes like this:
Interesting people, eccentric types, people who view the world with a different slant, people who stop and think. Creative sorts, artists, musicians, scientists, philosophers, party people, hedonists, alturists. Goths, always have a soft spot for goths. And people who like dressing up, going out and having fun!
Who I don't want to meet:
People with an agenda - I won't play by your rules...

So I've achieved 5 seconds of fame, in a fabulous way, immortalised in the Glastonbury film! Ok, so its only a quick shot and a bit blurry, but still!...
