Ramblings....

Press Photographer of the year has been announced, you can see the results HERE or go straight to a slideshow HERE

I was walking home lastnight and dropped in to see my friends at the pub across the road. I walked a friend of mine to the tube, on the way to the tube we walked by a bus stop where a few of the homeless people from around the Hammersmith area tend to congregate. I called out "Howdy fellas" to the two of them that were sat there, very old, dirty men who have been living on the streets for what I assume has been some time... The recognise me and acknowledge me, the girl I'm walking with immediately says "don't talk to them!" ... I asked her why, she said because they're rude to her.. well, I have a feeling that the reason they're rude is that she totally ignored them the first time they glanced / spoke to her / whatever... I feel sorry for them, but I feel sorry for her more you know...

Ricoh GR II.... Is it to cool for school, or is it really as good as they say it is?... I'll ask my mate "Susan & Her 5D" who mainly uses a Canon 5D (Who also has a Ricoh GR II),,,Here's what she had to say...

[17:40:46] Sime says: hey
[17:41:15] Sime says: Just how good is the
Ricoh GR II?....
[17:41:22] Sime says: (In fifty words or less!)

[17:43:26]
Louise Turner says: Well as a little compact I find it really good mainly cos I can totally set everything up manually. I think lens is better quality cos fixed. It has a filmy type grain. It shoots really well in some lighting scenarios - not in others. Out of the camera you'd probably get better lookng results out of the Canon G9 but you don't have much easy-to use manual adjustability on the canon which is why i didn't go for it.

[17:43:39]
Louise Turner says: it's basically a really nice niche market camera for geeks like us

[17:43:50]
Louise Turner says: I've taken some shots I'm dead pleased with on it

[17:44:05]
Sime says: :) Thanks Lou... Can I put this answer on my blog and MAKE YOU FAMOUS!

[17:44:28]
Louise Turner says: why?!

[17:44:36]
Sime says: no, you mean "why not!"

And, with that ends today's posting.... (for now!)

Heeeey.. I'm tall too! It's just when you compare me to such giants I seem smaller. YOU'LL SEE. When I come over we will stand back to back and.. and.. AND. Yes, and...
