About me
I’m James and I live and work in West London. I guess it’s pretty obvious that I enjoy photography and anything webby. Between myself and my wife we have three ‘teenagers’ between the ages of 11 and 16 (@ Aug ’10). We also have an cat, two rabbits and a goldfish. This is getting silly….
About the site
The site was conceived one October 2005 morning in the shower. Why I do it I have no idea, but there’s something cathartic about displaying photos that would otherwise sit unseen on a hard drive somewhere, and posting about all the things in this world that interest me, even if no-one else gives a damn. I don’t have a good enough imagination or sufficient creative writing skills to write a novel, and don’t have the inclination to create any sort of private diary, so this is some form of hybrid of the two.
But more than anything this site is where I muck about with things and test new stuff, so if you come across something that doesn’t look right or doesn’t appear to work, that’s probably why.
I also have a day job managing a website for a major scientific institution and visitor attraction, I make a bit of extra money by doing some editorial and wedding photography, and I run a website about vintage photographs, mainly aimed at identifying the locations, people and objects featured in them – see www.whatsthatpicture.com.
I’m very active on flickr, run a few groups both for work and for vintage photographs, and it’s there where you can see my latest photographs and vintage acquisitions – www.flickr.com/photos/whatsthatpicture
