I may have ended my 365 project early, but I still take plenty of photos with my Samsung Galaxy S2, and the results are all still making their way to Instagram and my InstaGary site. And It's still all good fun, playing with new apps and filters. The latest app I've discovered is Painteresque, available … Continue reading Tech Lust

Olympus Pen 18 Month Review
There's only one bad thing about buying a new camera. And it doesn't really matter how good the camera is, or how much you spend on it. There's a better one coming along about five minutes after you've fired off the first few shots. Such is life. I can't afford a new camera every five … Continue reading Olympus Pen 18 Month Review
The Influencer
If I might be allowed to blow my own trumpet for a minute, I've been a real 'influencer' of late. Convincing bloggers of the world to adopt Disqus, the commenting system, for one.

At the moment Photokina is on over in Germany, and it's a show I'd … Continue reading Redundant Camera Lust
Olympus Pen E-PL1 Video
I sacrificed some 'p' numbers when swapping my Fuji HS10 for the Olympus Pen. Gone are the days I could shoot in 1080, and I'm back down to 720p. I never could really tell the difference though. Then again, I always watch my videos through Vimeo on a laptop monitor. I have never really quite got the … Continue reading Olympus Pen E-PL1 Video
It’s Here!
The exchange was done without fuss. No need for trilby hats, long macs, newspapers with eye holes and discreet dropping and picking up of a brief case. Although in Mexico I feel as jittery as a spy from a John Le Carre novel must do when I have a wad of cash in my bag. … Continue reading It’s Here!
