Bits and Bobs, Odds and Sods
I've been going H.A.M. with my iPhone photography and neglecting my big-boy camera photography, so all I have to show for a week of great weather, interesting sights and wonderful outings are these old photos.
The camera is out tomorrow though. Bring on the weekend!

Photowalk: Bow Creek & Trinity Buoy
Yesterday I went on the first of this year's London Photowalks, organised by myself and my friend Natasha for free for any interested photographers, novice or pro. It started in Canning Town Station and from there we went to Bow Creek, which I've mentioned in previous posts.
There were about 11 people in attendance and that number halved before 2pm when we stopped for tea and chips before steeling ourselves for a major shoot at Trinity Buoy Wharf by East India Docks.
I've split the photos into two sets (I'm not sure if this will come across when the blog is syndicated on Facebook et al), the first set is from Bow Creek and the second is from Trinity Buoy Wharf.
Here are the Trinity Buoy Wharf photos.
We don't usaully revisit the same place in the same year with London Photowalk, but I'm really keen on doing a walk that begins at the Wharf which was definitely the more interesting part of the day and it's a shame that people had drifted off before we had got there.
Here are some other attendees' photos

Bow Creek Photowalk Recon
On Sunday the 8th of May I'm reprising my role of tour leader for the Photowalks I organise. It's been a long time since I've run one, so I'm starting small and local.
The first walk will be in Bow Creek, East London, please use the link to learn about Bow Creek.
Here's a link to the event page if you're interested in attending.
And a few photos from today's reconnaissance mission, enjoy.

5 a Day Challenge: End, Normal Service Will Resume Presently
Facebook friends, Twitter followers, Flickr visitors, Blogger buddies and Posterous dropper-byers, thanks for your tolerance with what became a campaign of sustained and relentless spamming. You will be delighted to hear that I return to the nine to five tomorrow and instead of two to three posts per day you will probably only see a couple a week, if that.

It's a bit of a relief for me too, and it's not that I ever tired of taking photos, but with my only self imposed rule being that I post five photos a day I found that I felt undirected and as a result there's little cohesion in what I've shown. The trouble is, and I may have stated this before, that when one is required to take a photo or a set of photos everyday they end using their routine as their inspiration, and sometimes the minutia of your own life seems to familiar to truly inspire.
Also, this blog isn't meant to be a personal journal, but instead should be about photography.
Anyway, here's the last #5adaychallenge post, a challenge which I failed by the way, I missed a couple of days… hokum.
Back to the grind tomorrow... Enjoy May Day.
