New Photo Project: 365 Days and 52 Weeks…

I am starting two photo projects, both about people. The first is the infamous 365 days photo challenge, I aim to take a self portrait every day during 2010. It will serve as a diary and force me to practice taking photos and being creative!

The second project is one where I want to take at least one photo of a friend, or family or someone I meet each week.

Here is my January 1st photo followed by one which almost made it.

Maddie and Lee’s Wedding

Here are a few photos of my friend Maddie and her wedding. I was just a guest and not the official photographer this time. We arrived with 2 minutes to spare, damn traffic! Anyway, enjoy the photos of their special day!

Christmas Day, St Agnes Beach 2009

Some photos from this years run into the sea! It was high tide and everyone had to walk across the rocks to get into the sea making it extra painful on the feet! There was also a lot of surf, I loved the sound the waves made when dragging the pebbles over each other. Here are some of my photos. Enjoy.

Japan – Oct 2009

Japan

I loved Japan, it is an amazing country. So different and full of beautiful, wonder, bright lights and singing technology.

Tokyo

The textures and patterns which typify Asia are still there, just around the corner from the pristine city blocks.

There is a great contrast between old/traditional and super-modern/western Japan. The next photo was taken at the Meiji Jingu Shrine and illustrates a little bit of what I mean.

Australia – Nov 2009

Australia

Here are some of my photos from my month in the land down under.

Sydney

Sydney has very unique icons which I think make the city worth a visit. Mine was only a quick visit, a few days, so I didn’t really get to know the city and its character. The only impression I was left with was that of a fairly young, generic and not very special city with problems of graffiti  and other city ills. However the opera house and bridge are quite spectacular, especially at night…

Paris – March 2009

This post as taken ages to write but finally put some more time in to finish it today, I should have written it earlier so that I actually remembered what we did in more detail, but nevertheless here are some of the photos :)

Sat

We were awake at 4am. I drove to Bristol airport where we then got through a busy (for that time of the morning) security, over to Paris and got a train to Gare du Nord from the airport. We then walked  to our hostel with blue skies in the glorious sunshine in this beautiful city.

When we arrived at the Peace and Love Hostel, our room was on the 8th (or so) floor, so we walked up lots of stairs, continually turning/spinning while travelling up the narrow, tall, thin staircase, to get to our room. It was a bit tiring but we got there:

We went to the Maison Européenne de la photographie (photo gallery), some of the exhibitions were really good, others sucked, but then that’s art. We also walked around a really nice square as we walked, exploring some of the streets of Paris. We had lunch in a nice restaurant there too.

I am back!

…back from my summer/autumn travels! I have a lot of photos which I hope to share some of the best with you on here. I have also just finished redesigning my main website and changed the Theme on here to match. Next on the agenda is to move http://grussellphotography.com to Joomla! which will make it much easier to update. Look out for some photos and even some videos here in the coming week. Also, if you actually even read this, drop me a message. Thanks.

Here’s a teaser photo…
