Meet Boxhead.

Those who follow me will already have seen a few.

The idea was to create something quirky for days when inspiration is low. Having seen one of Banksy’s pieces of a child wearing a box drawing a robot, I decided to bring a similar sort of character to life.

Not sure where this is going at the moment, or indeed if it will go anywhere. I’m not trying to overthink it.

For now, Boxhead represents the anti-selfie.

This week

With my mind constantly focused on getting a shot each day for my ‘Images not words’ 366 project, I do sometimes come away with other pictures that I’m quite happy with too.

Being mostly random in theme, I don’t feel they’re always worth posting separately.

So you might say that this is kind of a “best of the rest” themed post. A handful of images taken around the area of Hastings and St.Leonards-on-sea.

Death is

Usually I’d write my own words but this poem seems to fit perfectly.

Death Is Nothing At All

Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other
That we are still
Call me by my old familiar name
Speak to me in the easy way you always used
Put no difference into your tone
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed
At the little jokes we always enjoyed together
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was
Let it be spoken without effort
Without the ghost of a shadow in it
Life means all that it ever meant
It is the same as it ever was
There is absolute unbroken continuity
What is death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind
Because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you for an interval
Somewhere very near
Just around the corner
All is well.
Nothing is past; nothing is lost
One brief moment and all will be as it was before
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!
Canon Henry Scott-Holland

Down town

13 images

We had a lazy day yesterday, which was a welcome change.

Wasn’t long before I got the urge to get out of the house though, plus nothing inside was inspiring me to photograph for my 366 project.

Grabbed hat, gloves, coat and camera and set out for a walk down town.

Not the town center where all the shops are of course, but around some of the areas leading into the town.

I took two lenses with me; the Sigma 18-50mm F2.8EX and my Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6 EX, which I attached first to try to get some different perspectives.

Ended up walking a lot further than I had planned and was properly tired when I arrived home.

Was pleased with some of the shot I came back with.

Hope you like them too.
