Testing out longer video uploads. This one was from our trip to Slovenia not that long ago. We had parked up at the top of the hills and walked down along the forested path to the River Sǒca in the valley below. We had to cross this bridge and it’s one of those wobbly jobs. I’m not great with heights and especially not bridges like this one! It was well worth it though because the views were fantastic and had a great look at the river, that we kayaked the following day.

Have mentioned I’m on Wavlake a few times recently but forgot to share my profile link. So here it is.

I might be renaming this as Modulations soon, as that vibes better with what I do. My electronic synth based music, blended with sound design.

This is why perhaps I never made the cut as a wildlife filmmaker. Hey look there’s a Wallaby, reach for the camera. Oh the subject has vanished. There is a brief glimpse though. Whipsnade Zoo is great though, very much want to go back for another visit.

Over the years I’ve got involved with a lot of creative pursuits and photography is by far one of my biggest passions. I’m not overly interested in large vistas and that’s probably because we live nowhere near any mountains, so becoming a landscape photographer as an amateur or a professional, has never been an option. I tend to look for closeup details, like this kind of thing, the ephemeral things in our world. You just can’t beat fishing nets, buoys, boats, rope because the textures, faded colours versus vibrant colours, all make for interesting images. In some cases tell a story.

A hedgerow with a door? No just an entry for #curiousdoors my 600th project, I’ll never complete or plainly forget about. Feel free to join in though. Seen any curious doors? Create notes, use the above tag and I’ll curate them.

A view from my boat on another trip, a different river. In this case the great River Wye, near Symonds Yat, close to the Welsh border. To get there you crisscross the border, from England to Wales and back into England again! We had just run the rapids, eddied out at the bottom and taking a breather at the bottom when I took this photo. This was a practice run, taster session some weeks before we headed out to Slovenia. I’m looking forward to the next adventure right now 😀

It’s been a few weeks since we returned from Slovenia and I miss this place. It was stunning and i have fond memories of the trip, the experiences we had on the river Sǒca. The company was great too. My wife and I want to go back and visit Lake Bled properly.

Went blackberry picking yesterday and they still need a little more time to grow. Lots of small berries but they tasted ok. Will gather some more later.

A performance from last week using my iPad running loopy pro version 2. I’ve hooked up my Torso Instruments T1 as the main MIDI controller sending notes etc to the iPad on different channels. One synth and a drum machine. Nice and simple. Was great to try out Camo Studio for the recording and the ability to add a Picture in Picture video of myself, streaming style.

Our kids have a new kitten. Thankfully they have their own house and their own furniture. The granddaughters have called him Rhino and he’s definitely cute. Shy at the moment but I think he’s just taking it all in…. Then chaos!!!!!!!
