My hometown
Originally uploaded by SugarSnap
I’m visiting my hometown this week and this time I made it my mission to get a photo of The Stump. I must have walked past this church a thousand times when I was growing up, but never once really stood back and admired this incredible building. Lucky I caught it on a good day really!
From the Hart
I was sad to hear that one of my childhood heroes, Tony Hart, had passed away. In honour of his memory, devoted fans organised a ‘Morph’ flashmob outside the Tate Modern Gallery.
Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2008
I had an invite to the preview of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year awards today, but sadly due to work commitments I was unable to attend. Boo! What a shame!
Anyway, click on the picture above to visit the website for the final results. I was extremely pleased to see that the Overall Winner used a Canon 350D – just proves that you don’t need to have a fancy, expensive camera to take fantastic shots. There’s hope for me yet! 
Body Works of Art

Dr. Gunther von Hagens’ Body Worlds may not be for the squemish, but if you are interested in a mixture of science, anatomy and art then this exhibition is definitely worth a visit.
Autumn leaves drift out of sight

Autumn has got to be my favourite season; I love the light and the colours that it brings. I’ve been taking walks in the local parks with my 28-135mm lens hoping to capture the beauty of Autumn before the the chill of the British Winter sets in.
A walk in the park

I met up with Rita for lunch and coffee today in Greenwich. The weather was a bit touch-and-go, but I managed to take a few shots which I thought were ok.
I decided to walk through Greenwich Park – at the top of the hill (near the Observatory) I stopped to take in this view:

Luckily, the sun managed to shine through the clouds and I decided to walk all the way to Blackheath Village before catching the bus home.
Cook-Along with iFoods
The pitch that caught my attention on Monday night’s Dragon’s Den was for this website iFoods.tv. There are loads of recipes with easy to follow videos for whenever I am stuck for meal time ideas. Members can also load their own recipe videos – I may even be inspired to make video for my mum’s won-ton recipe or my dad’s tender beef recipe!
Recipes galore and tasty photos!
Whilst surfing the net for some new recipe ideas, I came across this fabulous food blog, delicious:days. This is a site which is not only aesthetically very pleasing with great recipe ideas, but it also has a fantastic photo gallery that will make your mouth water! Yes, I just simply cannot get enough of the food porn!
Chris & Chinese food
This is Chris – my friend and flat mate during my final year at Sheffield. Having recently returned to London after a seven year stint in the USA, Chris is soon to move to Amsterdam where he has just been offered a new job! Congratulations Chris – I’m definitely on the first flight out there when you settle!
The juiciest advert on TV?
I saw this advert for the first time a couple of days ago; Dan and I sat there roaring with laughter. I still don’t have the urge to drink Orangina – I much prefer Appletise given the choice!
