Countdown
The Guildford Arms
Kirstin and I are off to Paris tomorrow for a long weekend. It has been a while since I was there and longer since we were both there together. I’m looking forward to it.
I’m also off work today, partly to give myself time to do the small amount of packing which I’ll be doing and partly to extend the break by a day
The picture of the Guildford Arms is part of an occasional project which I have undertaken of trying to capture something of Edinburgh’s pubs. I have been meaning to do this for a long time but it is only in very recent times that I’ve started. I’m posting the series on Facebook here if you want to see more of them.
All of the shots are taken on my trusty Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ7; I shoot them in Black and White at 400ASA as a TIFF file then do a bare minimum of post processing in Paintshop Pro 9 to adjust contrast and tone. One of these days I’ll upgrade the camera but I don’t really have the cash to spare to get what I want.
Pratchett’s Reaper Man was entertaining and, in its closing scenes, a remarkably powerful and moving piece of writing. Onto Andre Gide now!
