A Year in Blips

Appropriate macro shot to indicate the full 365 days.(as there are a lot of macro shots in my year)

I actually blipfoto 3 years ago because I'm friends with the brother of one of the founders. But I didn't actually do anything with it til a year ago, after dinner with John and Nicola I decided to start.

I brought a few others to the site, a couple of whom are still blipping - Jay and Myk.

I'd like to say the journal is an accurate representation of my year, but to be honest a lot of it is shots of whatever random crap came to hand - usually when I think "oh god, I've got to get a photo for blip!"

It has been good though, I've always taken loads of photos but blipfoto has re-awakened my interest. It's because of this site I bought a DSLR. My blipfoto album in iphoto has 1400 pics in, that I probably wouldn't have taken otherwise.

A rather inaccurate statistical analysis of the content follows.

People - 15 (4%)

Weather - 22 (6%)
Snow 9
Rain 4
Sun 6

Food and Drink - 68 (19%)
sandwiches 4
marmite 4
alcohol 21 (beer 16)
coffee 11
curries 8 (thai 2, indian 6)

Technology - 35 (10%)
computers 11
ipods 3
video games 10
batteries 2
phones 2

Cameras - 20 (5%)
video 13
still 7

DIY/Building 29 (8%)
Fireplace 12

Animals - 15 (4%)
squirrels 3
birds 4
spiders 5
insects 2
cats 2

Trees - 6 (2%)

Me - body parts - 9 (3%)
hair 2
feet 2
eyes 3

Footwear - 4 (1%)

Guitars - 4 (1%)

Flames - 3 (1%)

Garden - 16 (5%)

Trafalgar Square - 4 (1%)

Bands/Singers - 5 (1%)

Which probably tells you I'm a food obsessed technology freak who drinks too much beer and has spent too long on one DIY project(almost an accurate portrayal)
