Looked out of the window this morning and spotted that the sun was just rising and had started to melt the frost on the fence.

36/365 - Jean-Francois
Meet Jean-Francois. He is part of my personality but is far too enigmatic to reveal which part yet.
His favourite colour is teal. His favourite food is cheesy mashed potato and he drinks all his drinks through a straw.
He is an extremely skilled driver, scoring 100% in his most recent aptitude test. Unfortunately all his driving qualifications are paper based due to issues of scale (his arms are too short to reach the steering wheel so he has never actually driven a car).
Jean-Francois is a soprano and is president of the Tadcaster Male Voice Choir for Embodied Personality Traits. Unfortunately the club is still awaiting its first affiliate member and Jean-Francois is considering leaving after his objections to the recent subs increase were ignored.
Jean-Francois speaks fluent Esperanto and has a degree in linen trousers. He abhors, any act of violence, nationilsed rail services and Bernie Clifton.
He considers his biggest strengths to be his Shakespeare recitals, his personal favourite being King Richard the Third's soliloquy from the bard's play of the same name.

35/365 - Drinking on a school night...
Tonight I had to entertain some business colleagues which involved staying in a hotel and getting very drunk on comapny expenses. Hence the 'this'll do' shot taken with my Blackberry in the hotel room!

To finish this week's minimal theme, it's an appearance from some of Iraq's most wanted...

32/365 - FAR too much to drink last night!
Oh dear, I have spent the entire day feeling absolutely shocking after drinking WAY too much last night :( Serves me right I guess...

28/365 - Cotton buds carry a warning
Managed to injure myself with one of these later on. The warning 'Do not insert into ear or nose canal' should really be observed.

20/365 - On 'Tops
Domo didn't fancy sticking around in the house all day whilst I was at work so he came with me. Went up on't moors later on so he could get some fresh air but he wasn't very impressed when he realised how windy it was... Just after this he ended up face down in a field full of cows.

19/365 - Hello Domo!
Hey look who turned up at my house today! His mouth is open a lot but he never says much...

18/365 - Headshots
Spent the day doing headshots for a local actor. Got to be honest I didn't feel like taking any more photographs after the 400 or so I had already taken so this one is just going to have to be part of my project 365!

17/365 - Time for another beer...
Well you can't watch the X Factor without it can you? OK OK I'm sad I know. I guess this is me coming out.
I WATCH THE X FACTOR! :-)

16/365 - So close...
Came so close to giving up on the whole project 365 thing tonight. Terrible week at work, house is in chaos, washing hanging from every horizontal surface.
I really was thinking forget it, the last thing I need is to take a photograph. But the wife convinced me not to throw it away after the work I've put in up to now. I must remember to iron that shirt before Monday. Joy.

15/365
A duck walks into a pub and says to the landlord "I'll bet you 200 quid I can p**s into that glass without spilling a drop", pointing to a glass on the top shelf. The landlord contemplates this and says "You're on". So the duck proceeds to p**s all over the bar, and when he's finished the only dry spot left is the top shelf. The landlord is beside himself with laughter, but stops laughing when he sees the duck smiling. "What are you smiling for?" he asks the duck, "You've just lost 200 quid". "Yeah", says the duck, "but I bet the ducks outside a grand that I could p**s all over your bar and you'd be laughing."

14/365 - Don't go in there!
Finally I got some time for a bit of photography. I tell you what though, this was bloody frustrating! Not sure if I'll want to try it again after all this! First I realised I can't draw for toffee, next I found my big fat head kept getting in the way!!
13/365 - Day 13 - explains a lot!
Just realised it's day 13 of the project which explains a lot! Nothing but bad luck today!
Just thought I'd take a quick picture of the thing that seems to be dicating my life at the moment. Not not the cooker... the time!
Alas, time has beaten me again today and I haven't had a chance to take a decent photograph, despite some decent ideas. Oh well, there's always tomorrow.... yawn..

12/365 - Madness madness
It's been complete madness today and I haven't had time to do a bloody thing! Hence my 'quick quick what can I take a photo of!?' type picture.
Not sure if I like this one or not to be honest!

10/365 - Urban Jungle
I really wasn't in the mood to take a photograph today. I guess that's what this project 365 thing is all about. You still have to take photographs even when you don't feel like it.
I walked up to the supermarket tonight and took a half hearted photograph of a statue thinking that would do for tonight, then on the way back, I saw this weird looking urban jungle which had sprouted up in an alleyway behind a shop. I really love the look of it. Nature always manages to reclaim he land in the end I guess.

9/365 - Cleckheaton Town Hall
Been meaning to take this shot for ages. Surprised I mustered the energy, I'm absolutely bloody knackered...

8/365 - Sealing the bath
Tonight I decided I would re-seal the bath. Big mistake! It took bloody ages!
It's not the sealing, it's getting all the old stuff off. What a nightmare.

7/365 - M62 - but nearly no shot at all...
Decided to take this shot on the way home from college. Drove onto the bridge, took out my camera, set it up on the tripod, then realised I'd not put a memory car in - AAARRRGGHH!!!
Fortunately I had a memory card in my phone with just enough space for one photo if I changed the quality from RAW to jpeg!! What an idiot!

6/365 - Multitude of Moods
Day 6 - I took this in the car park whilst I was waiting to go into college. I would have really liked to hve taken it whilst on the move but I wasn't going to clamp the camera to my bonnet and travel!

5/365 - Just Mute
Today feels... bad
maybe one day I'll be able to talk about it... when it feels better.

4/365 - Not a dry night...
... busy day today and unfortunately I wasn't able to keep it dry! Still polishing off some of the beer I brought back from France, and unimaginitive as it is, here's one of them!
Cheers :)

3/365 - Cycling
Day 3 of the project. Going paintballing in a couple of weeks and have realised I need to get my fitness back up! Haven't been out on the bike for a few weeks so today was pretty tricky! Did about 15 miles to the end of the Spen Valley Greenway and back and managed to take this.
I wanted to get a photograph of the bike with the ground going past in blur but didn't quite manage as much blur as I would have liked! I took this on shutter priority at 1/50. In my mind there are four things I could have done to improve the shot:
1. Shot at a slower shutter speed (but as I had to hold the camera near the ground whilst riding the bike, this would inevitably have led to more camera shake)
2. Attached camera to a frame to hold it steady while I used a slower shutter speed (too much faffing)
3. I could have rode the bike faster with the same shutter speed (but wasn't really brave enough to go faster whilst dangling my camera near the ground!)
4. Blurred it in Photoshop (that would have been cheating!).

2/365 - Simon's Terrible Shirt!
Friday is dress-down day where I work and over the last few weeks a little competition has emerged as to who can wear the most horrendous outfit.
The fella in the picture is Simon and he's not only raised the bar, he's burned the pitch and taken the bat and ball! This little number was made by his wife from 'an old towel'. It has that scratchy feel you only get when a really old towel attacks you as you get out of the bath. Not a feeling I'd want to carry around on my back all day, especially if I looked like a box of Cabury's miniature heroes!
10/10 for bravery but much as I like a competition I think I'll sit this one out!

1/365 Can I keep this up?
OK so it's day one of my project and I have a mammoth hill to climb. I so hope I can keep this up, it will be so cool.
The significance of this photograph is that I am so p****d off at apple! I recently updated my i-Tunes (big mistake!) and it has lost the location of all my music files! AARRRGGHH! Tonight I had to re-add all my tunes but I've lost all my play counts :(
Curse you Steve Jobs!!!
