One of my resolutions for 2009 is to get outside every single day. Even if it’s freezing cold, like it is today, or tipping it down with rain, I want to try and get outdoors.
A good incentive is to take my camera with me, and look for tiny little things that I might not otherwise have seen.
This afternoon I went to post a letter, and spotted these outrageously pink berries.
If I hadn’t had my camera with me, it might never even have occurred to me to look around, and then I would have missed them completely!
When I was uploading the photos and having a look at them in Photoshop, I realised that I’ve actually taken more photos than I’d thought this year.
Most of them weren’t taken at a high enough resolution to be printed on their own, so I made a little montage of half a dozen images that I particularly liked.
This image is A4, and I’ve sent off for a print from Photobox.
I’d like to hang these images on the wall in my Shed. Hopefully they’ll remind me that although it might be very cold right now, it won’t be long until there are daffodils and rhododendrons blooming again.
tells you pretty much everything you need to know about making men’s shoes by hand. The only automated part of the process is the carving of individually-tailored lasts. Every other part of the construction of the shoe is done by hand.
