Photography is about finding out what can happen in the frame. When you put four edges around some facts, you change those facts.

Lights camera action . ANZAC Park, Lindisfarne. February 2013. More questions? Of course! Stolen from Sunday Stealing, as usual. This week: The Back 15 Meme ... 15) How do you vent out your anger? Ranting and raving. 16) Favourite toy as a child? Some kind of ball, most likely. 17) Favourite season? I like elements of each, but if I have to choose I'd say Summer. 18) Do you ever get letters delivered by the post office? Most letters have at some point been processed by the post office... 19) When was the last time you laughed hard? Good question. I can't specifically remember, but it most likely involved cruelly mocking someone. 20) What is on the floor of your closet? My shoes. 21) Are you any good at drawing? Not very good, but I can manage the basics. 22) What did you do last night? Read and then slept. 23) What are you most afraid of? Irrelevance. 24) Plain, cheese or spicy hamburger? Spicy with salad. 25) Favourite dog breed? I'm not...

If we had no faults of our own, we should not take so much pleasure in noticing those in others.

Male model material?

A child's education should begin at least one hundred years before he is born.

Walking home from cricket training. Nelumi Road, Lindisfarne. December 2012. Red Harvest , Dashiell Hammett: as hard boiled as a diamond. As strong evocation of nastiness, cynicism, greed and the day to day horrors of human interactions as you'd like to see. All the more startling for being a great success in 1929. A . Breakfast at Tiffany's , Truman Capote: The famous film rather missed the point of this book, didn't it? I liked it a lot. A- . The Wonderbox: Curious histories of how to live , Roman Krznaric: An interesting mix of stories and ideas envisaged as ‘practical history’, that is, the art of gaining insights from our predecessors on how to live better lives today. A lot of this stuff I already do, but thought provoking nonetheless. B+ .

Without the aid of prejudice and custom, I should not be able to find my way across the room.

A prayer to the cricket gods...

To gain a crown by fighting is great, to reject it divine.

Heading out to bat...

Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.

Tea. Anzac Park, Lindisfarne. December 2012. Wordless Wednesday.

One may be humble out of pride.

Eyes on the ball Hen. Keep it simple, soft hands and your eyes on the ball...

Never cut what you can untie.

Run Henry, RUN! Anzac Park, Lindisfarne. December 2012. As you know, the Internet is a wonderful place filled with the rich and varied treasures of the world holds (and dogs dressed as Father Christmas.) The following are some things that I've had a look at in the last week. I call this: a Compendium of Click-throughs for Monday Morning... For hundreds of years, Hell has been the most fearful place in the human imagination. It is also the most absurd... xkcd nails the Instagram furore... This flat out amazes me. Jerry Seinfeld Intends to Die Standing Up. Ezra's favourite link of the week. A time to stop giving? United Noshes is a project to cook one feast from every UN member . Yum. 8 Nostalgia - it's not like it used to be. 20 Astounding Gun Ads . Ahem.

I would rather be remembered by a song than by a victory.

We might not be able to make a cricketer out of him, but by golly he will be a fine wood-cutter!
