    Revisiting these pictures after twelve-odd years is harrowing, enlightening, and often embarrassing. Looking at this severe, stiff person makes me wonder how I lasted as long as I did without flipping out. It also makes me wonder why it took so long for me to realise that the joy had gone out of my life.

    And of course, I’ll never grow tired of singing the praises of my little Fuji camera. For a point and shoot, it really did well.

    It’s around ten PM and I’ve been working on and off since seven thirty AM.

    I took this shot at my desk at home.

  • Walking across the campus

    Walking across the campus — I’m halfway through a 15-minute walk between meetings at work, and it is too cold to spend time taking fancy photographs. And I’m wearing a silly hat to keep warm. Copyright © 2007 Gary Allman, all rights reserved.

  • 6AM and only just awake (365: 17)

    This picture was taken as part of a 365 days of me mini challenge to take a picture of yourself straight after waking up. Frightening isn’t it?!

  • Pensive

    It’s taking a fair bit of digging to discover why I have this picture. It turned out that I’d planned a 365 days picture — but it went wrong. I’ve no idea what the plan was. After I’d taken this, I got another idea for my day’s shot, but it seems that this picture survived anyway.   

  • Me And My Friend (365: 16)

    I had a disastrous evening, not much time and neither of my pre-planned 365 days photographs had worked. In fact, I was feeling quite depressed, and time was running on, when the idea for this shot came to me.

    I forgot to white balance the camera and to compensate for the light background in my haste to grab the picture, so a little bit of correction was called for.

    I guess I ought to have titled this ‘Myself and My Friend’, or ‘My friend and I’ but the title I used sounded more childlike.

  • Split Personality

    The three most obvious sides of myself:

    1. At work
    2. Out socially
    3. Home

    This picture never made it into my 365 Days project because of the crop on the head of the left clone, and the misalignment of the beer bottle. It takes so long to do this I haven’t bothered again (yet). In frustration I deleted all the originals – over 50 shots.

    Future Gary says it’s a shame I didn’t keep the originals as with modern post processing and AI I could have fixed it.

    I thought it would make a change to take a photograph outside. I’m still too self-conscious to be bold and obvious when doing self-portraits, which is one excuse for the up the nose angle. I really wanted to take a picture in Lou-Lou’s or Waitrose, but both were packed to gunwales.

    After weeks of high winds the back garden fence was in need of some TLC. A few screws did the job. It is not easy standing on a ladder holding a drill and taking a picture at the same time.

    This is what happens when you leave the kids in charge of the house while you go away for New Year. I’ve made them suffer long enough it was time to replace the broken toilet seat.

    My less serious alter ego strikes a blow for more fun in my pictures. I’ve been looking forward to trying out a clone shot ever since I first saw them on Flickr.

    I would have opened a bottle of red wine too, but that way lies madness… Taken for ‘What do you want?’ brief: ‘Something in your daily life that’s your favorite color’ (Sic).

    If I have to have a favourite colour, then I guess this is currently it. It’s certainly the colour of my fountain pen, and I’ve also used it as an accent colour on a couple of walls in the living room.
