Pragmatism in today's world
Today has been a struggle entirely due to my own internal negative thoughts and feelings about impacting events that are outside my control. Navigating this to come out stronger rather than letting it consume my self-belief and confidence isn’t easy, especially at the time. I’m not worse at my job and my abilities haven’t diminished, but sometimes it’s hard to remember this. I need to give myself space to remember who I am and internalise… continue reading.
I don't often post personal things here, however last weekend my dad died peacefully in his sleep and it feels important to acknowledge this. I have no words.
As we reach the end of 2025, I take this opportunity to look back over the photos that I have taken and thing about the year. This year I published 1,064 photos to Flickr with, of course, at least one photo every day as part of my Project 365. The lovely thing is that my photos remind me what happened during my year and I remember many good times through them as I've seen friends… continue reading.
As usual, at the end of the year, I look back over the photos I have taken and think about the year. This year I have published 1162 photos to Flickr. It has been a good year, seeing friends and family, taking photos, attending conferences all coupled with enjoyable work for a good client. I am pleased to have kept up with taking a least one photo every day as part of my Project 365,… continue reading.
I do not enjoy exercise, but I'm at that age where I can see far enough into my future that I would like to remain mobile and healthy well into my later years. So I exercise. I'm not into sports and I find it relatively boring, but this is what is working for me. In the average week I do some form of exercise at least 6, sometimes 7 days. Most days, I walk. Just… continue reading.
As we finish 2023 and look forward to 20024, I have had an enjoyable time looking back at the photos I took throughout the year. As with the last 10 years, I have managed to take a least one photo every day as part of my Project 365, which allows me to remember what happened during this year of my life and reflect on the year as I usually do. January I like to start… continue reading.
We've reached the end of 2022. We're a little bit further from the COVID-19 pandemic and I've travelled more this year too. A bitter-sweet year when a close friend died and I managed to catch COVID-19 again, but fortunately wasn't as affected as last year and recovered more quickly. I continued to take a photo every day though my Project 365 which allows me to appreciate what happened during this year of my life. January… continue reading.
2021 is over! A very strange year where I have been vaccinated against COVID-19, with an additional booster, yet I caught it and took months to recover. Fortunately, I continued to take a photo every day though my Project 365 which allows me to appreciate what happened during this year of my life. January January started out quietly with a hint of snow. I did a lot of walking, presented at The Online & my… continue reading.
As we reach the end of 2020, I continue my tradition of looking back at my year through the photos that I took as I have done every year since 2009. I have been doing a Project 365 for a good few years which acts as a diary too, so I have the opportunity to appreciate what happened this year in my life. This has been quite a year with the pandemic hitting the UK… continue reading.
As we reach the end of 2019, I again get the opportunity to look back at my year through the photos that I took as I have done every year since 2009. I have been doing a Project 365 for a good few years which acts as a diary too, so I have the opportunity to appreciate what happened this year in my life. January Early in January, I spent an afternoon taking photos with… continue reading.
