24 days till Christmas!!!

For the love of god I could not get up today!! I set my alarm for 6am then re set it for 7, got up went for a run then fell asleep again when I got home! Was back in the bar at 9am.

Been a good morning thought. The Dell tech guy came to fix my screen and notices that it was cracked which I new nothing about so he is returning tomorrow (Wesnesday) to replace about 90% of my computer happy with that but also pissed cause I was planning on going to do some photography out in Alford of the snow. Gutted.

Finished work, chilled for 30 minutes then head down to my office to final the wedding album before second preview.

WEDDING ALBUM FINISHED!!! now I just have to wait for it to be printed which means I will be nervious till then.

Just about to sit down to a nice Curry an beers! Can not wait!!!

The early night and up early to take photographs and hit the gym.

Today’s photograph is of Chaz who was the singer of Diablo who are sadly no more. I love this photograph, this is possibly my favorite music photograph and I have this printed 30″x24″inches

Monday Morning

Monday 30th November 2009

Cold winter morning.

The last day on November. This year has gon by so fast. it has been a weirs month but will reflect later in December.

7:00am I managed to get out of bed and go for a run, it may have only been a mile and almost killed me! Then I went and did 30 lengths in the pool. Have felt so good today. I am now 90% finished Eiligh and Craigs album and I entered a couple of photography competitions and got caughtub up on emails.

So far it has been good.

Just now I am preparing food for dinner. Going to try my burgers and chips. If I don’t write tomorrow you know the burgers killed me

Working in to bar tonight which should be fun.

It has been a long night in the bar but drunken Shelly is funny.

To days photograph is a panoramic of Oldmeldrum I’m Winter. If you were to blow this photograph up large and look at the front by the large stones you see Jemma and my dog lying looking up at the sky! I love it. I have sold six of these prints and the owners don’t know

01:14am
Sleepy!

But as for today I am treating someone to a mcdonalds and a day of watching family guy!

Ohh a bit of hail just fell on me!
BRING ON THE SNOW!!!!

I am all for people from other country’s working in the uk (well sort of) but when the person behind the counter at McDonalds can’t under stand any English and manages to mess up my order THREE TIMES then the manage f*ucks it upfor a FOURTH TIME!! Mcdonalds need to tighten up their recruitment system! Just my thoughts.

Got our McD’s and headed back fo the flat. te that then we headed out to Oldmeldrum. Had a relaxing afternoon just watching Family Guy then xfactor.

Was winding my mum up, she left her Facebook on so as her son I thought I will type a few thoughts

“I’m a bumble Bee”

21:30 and we are heading back to Aberdeen. I plan to finish House then get an early night with my book. I pLan to be up at 7am.

I have been thinking lot about traveling. I really would love to spend a year traveling Rural China. Would love to learn the language. Need to start making goals.

Start Modern-Image fulltime again next week. Can not wait to put my all in to it again. Plan on doing a lot more of my own photography so expect to see daily photograhs soon.

With traveling Being in my head I have today uploaded a photograph I took at Tiger Temple in Thailand. This monk owns a tiger sanctuary. An amazing man and true heart for helping wildlife.

Strum Me

Strum Me, originally uploaded by modernimage84.

Sitting chilling and felt the need to take a photograph!

Been a weird day.
Me and Jemma were driving to see my parents and we drove past my old house where my sister was killed, she was knocked down by a car in 1991.

Anyway, We past the house and on the left was a lady standing waiting to cross the road, freaked me out because she looked just like my sister.

What made it worse was is was in the countryside, late at night, dark and raining! Jemma just grabbed my thigh and asked if I was OK. Bless her!

Thought I would share is

SPLASH!!!

SPLASH!!! Explore #48, originally uploaded by eye_of_my_pentax.

Thank you for sharing this with me!

Stunning, Really love the colours. I would love to see this hanging on my wall!

A New Monday Morning!

It’s Monday and I am semi-motivated!

In the office doing ZERO work. well that is a little lie, I am on Facebook adding friends and adding to my Flickr page.

Having a thought about a change in career. I need to get my act together.  I have had a good run and had fun & stress with life. Now I am ready to settle and get a real job. Either Offshore or find what area I want to specialize in or (which I think is the direction i want to go in) join the police! I think the police are better suited for me. Scared I fail..

When I was young

When I was Young

I grew up in these fields. It is weird being 25 and not being able to run through the wheat without a care in the world. My mum tells me that kids don’t play out doors any more. So sad. I know when I have kids I will kick them out the house at 9am and tell them not to come back till dinner. Have adventures, break bones, get messy and cause I grew up in these fields.

Its been to long

It has been far to long since we talked.

A lot has changed and a lot has happened but I am not going in to that.

I am going to start today.

Had a long lie in, first in a very long time. 8 hours sleep and work up at 10 am! fantastic….

Cleaned the flat and headed down to HQ and cleaned their, don’t know what’s up with me….

The couple of months have been so quiet but not the last week.  I feel I have not slept in a week! Cant complain to much though as I hope it keeps up.

Off to watch season 2 of 24…

BYYYEEE

This was me this morning. Happy sleeping as the sun rises

Things are rolling

Well the website has really taken off. We have had 82,000 page views in 27 days!! I like those figures but I am looking for that stats to hit 200,000 a month within the next 6 months!!

We have signed up some advertising, just waiting for the final adjustments on the site and invoicing goes out.
I need an office now. Its a costly expense but I cant function any more working from Jemmas house.

There spare room and my old room at home is taking up WAY to much space and I becoming disorganised.

I was hoping to get a office/studio space in town but that has followed through and I have been offered space in Altens (industrial section of Aberdeen) and I know it would be nice but it is a good 45 minutes walk away.

But in Aberdeen Office space is about £7.35 per square meter!! that is mental…
Oh well the hunt goes on.

Peace out
