Shoes on Wires

I’d always wondered why you often see shoes hanging over overhead cables. I saw loads of them in the Lanes in Brighton at the weekend. Wikipedia has the answer (as always). But this time I’m not convinced about any of their stories, or any of the reference links. I do ilke that fact that it’s called shoefiti though…

Notting Hill Lights

Notting Hill Lights at Night – a photoset on Flickr – I was wandering around Notting Hill late last night (trying to find a cab) and I spotted lots of different types of light. Lights with different purposes that create different effects. So I started taking photos on my phone. I quite like some of them.

My New Blog Experiment

I Love London

Actually I don’t. That’s the whole point. Me and London haven’t been getting along all that well recently.

So I thought I’d try a little experiement. To see if blogging about great things in London can inspire me to think more about great things in London. And make me more attuned to noticing these things around me.

Basically, can blogging inspire positive thought.

The project was inspired by a conversation with Russell last week about how blogging can affect your view of the world (in a good way) and an invite to try out Vox (a new service from Six Apart). I started this morning.

Have a look: http://iaintait.vox.com. Leave your thoughts.

All the Fun of the Fair

Sophie and I went to Lovebox on Saturday and a jolly good time was had by all. I didn’t take my camera with me, as I’d have done in the past. Instead I took my new phone. By the end of the day I was a bit tipsy and got a little snap happy. These photos from the Waltzers are some of my favourites.

I was sure that my phone-cam would never replace a standalone camera. But I think I might have just changed my mind.

More (poor) people using public transport

Saw this on my way to work.

Unfortunately , in London, it’s probably true…

Photonotes

Nik’s set up a group called ‘Boast it Notes‘ on Flickr. It’s simple really. I don’t think I should even stoop to the level of explaining it. It came about after he set up a group on Flickr called ‘Street Style’ now it’s got 63 members and photos in it. It was a hole waiting to be filled. Maybe ‘boast it notes’ will be the same. Probably not.

But the whole notion using photos as notes is an interesting one. i found myself doing something rather odd on Saturday. I was going to someone’s house, and I had their address on my computer. But instead of sending it to my phone using some nonsense technology. Or writing it down, as a non-geek with a pen might do. I photographed it on my phone.

This might seem odd. But it was quick. Free. And less likely to be lost than a scrap of paper. Or maybe I’m just in love with my new Sony Ericsson K800i.

My Thai Dancing Worm

When I was in Thailand I saw this little fellow dancing on his thread as I walked up a path. I tried to film it with my digital camera, the autofocus doesn’t work well and it makes a horrible noise. Can anyone think of a track I can use as a soundtrack for this clip to drown out the motor noise. Winner will be famous or something.

Also anyone got a clue what kind of creature this is?
