So the blog has been quiet – but I have still been busy working on various things on the web… One small product of these efforts is the simple but much improved website for Suds Laundrette. There is a much bigger project in development, but you are going to have to watch this space since it is all under wraps at the moment!
So after a hiatus of almost a year - both from the blog and from putting any effort into taking photos – I replaced my ageing Canon EOS 300D today with a Nikon D5000 and took a whole set of photos out in the New Forest to try out the new camera and the three lenses that came in the purchase:
So far I am very happy with the camera and thought the occasion warranted the blog being made live again too – maybe I will do a better job of getting interesting content on here. The ‘TopPhoto’ series of posts will also be continuing where it left off and right now I am going to post my favourite shot of the day featuring Bitza (my dog):

OK – So I have been getting carried away with things, and not made any postings… so I thought I would warm myself back up into blogging by posting a new (old) photo from my Top Photos collection. This was taken driving into the Masai Mara, Kenya.

Just been going through some of my ‘starred items’ in Google Reader – things that looked interesting but I didnt have time to read when I first saw them. What has stuck out is this honest, and genuinely useful advice on career options from my friend Sameer Vasta.
So with Switzerland and the conference in Windsor I haven’t been paying much attention to my blog.
Forgive me.
Here is the latest installment in the top photos series. Taken off the west coast of Barbados.
As I am just about to leave in the car for Switzerland I am posting today’s photo. It was taken just above St. Luc in Switzerland – the same area I am about to visit. In the photo are my grandparents who sadly passed away last year.
I think it is a beautiful photo that shows that captures the experience of the snow in that part of Switzerland. Hopefully I will be updating Flickr with more photos of scenery like this over the next week or so.

I’ve been to Barcelona a few times. It’s a beautiful city – and the Sagrada Familia is something that you will remember if you ever explore it. Each of the towers has a staircase like this – and when you climb up it the thought does enter your mind, “What will happen if I fall down the gap in the middle?”.

New York is famous for it’s hot dog vendors… this photo was taken in December 2007 and shows a different type of ‘hot’ dog! Somewhere in Soho I think. I just think it is funny.
And yes – those are little shoes on the feet!
