Welcome to me blog shipmates, let's shivver the odd timber and splice the mainbrace!

Okay, so what's this all about? I thought I'd create a blog to share my thoughts and musings about photography and the world I live in. I'd also like to invite readers to visit my online photo gallery imaginatively called Usksider.

So what kind of images am I into? Well all kinds of things really. Here's an attractive landscape shot of the River Wye, taken from a churchyard in the town of Ross-on-Wye.

This following is a pretty shot of the River Thames at Henley. The image was taken at around 7:00am on a Sunday morning - I was amazed at how many people were out using the river while all sensible people were still fast asleep!

Well those were examples of the chocolate-box type of stuff you get on cheesey calendars, etc. They're all very well, but not too imaginative. I like to be a bit different (some would say bloody strange!) which is why I also take images like this one:

Come Back and Fight Like a Man

It's called Come Back And Fight Like A Man because this half-eaten piece of crab I spotted on a Welsh beach reminded me of a scene from Monty Python's Holy Grail.
Go figure it out for yoursleves... :)
