So excited

Annie and I head off to New York next week! When we booked it, it seemed like so far off… but now, it’s just around the corner, literally! It’s awesome, I can’t wait. Hopefully I’ll come back with some photos like this:

and this…

But mostly, I think it’s just going to be so great to be away with Annie!

I realise that I haven’t blogged in ages, so you’re probably thinking there’s a lot to talk about, but in reality, there isn’t at all. All I’ve done in the last month (has it really been that long??) is go to work… Apart from the Intensified weekend away on the Isle of Wight a couple of weekends ago. You may recall a few photos I put up from Intensified last year, because it was around then that I started the Project-365. That failed miserably, unfortunately! But now I have my SLR, and a different idea, I’ll get into something like that again.

Intensified was quite good this year – though also quite different to last year. It exploded from around 30 people to around 80 – and still we managed to squeeze into the same room, and took a group photo from the same position:

Last year:

This year:

As you can see, quite a few more people!

Last Sunday, Dan, Kita and I headed off in the car around West Berkshire and a bit into Oxfordshire to go in search of good places to take photos. Our original intention was to find a place called Moor Copse, which was supposedly the inspiration for The Wind in the Willows. We got there eventually, but after a very long detour around various other places. I put a couple of photos on Flickr, but the two below are my favourite of the whole day:
