Hello all. Happy new year! I hope you’re all enjoying 2013 thus far. I can’t quite believe it, but it’s that time again. Time to to have a look back over the just year gone and see what I’ve achieved, before planning ahead for what’s to come. 2012 was a pretty incredible year. I got [...]

It’s been a little while since my last post here, and it’s fair to say that a lot has happened. I am now a happily married man, and my wife and I have recently moved to north London. Thankfully it’s been over ten years since I had to take my driving test otherwise I [...]

So, it’s that time again. The start of another year. I have no idea where 2011 went, but it certainly went quick! At the end of 2010/start of 2011 I wrote a list of goals for the year and it was a very useful exercise. It was good to go into the new year with [...]

(hopefully that will change soon). Anyway, here’s a quick photo I took this morning. Check out those amazing autumn colours. It’ll [...]

Flat White, originally uploaded by Ben Grubb. Here’s a random shot from today. I’ve been spending a lot of time in Starbucks’s (sorry, I don’t know what the correct pluralisation for Starbucks is), particularly the big one on New Oxford Street near Tottenham Court Road tube station. I found that going up there with my [...]

Blue, originally uploaded by Ben Grubb. “Burn it down till the embers smoke on the ground And start new when your heart is an empty room With walls of the deepest blue…” The sun was out today in London, and we went for a nice walk along the river. It was still freezing cold though! [...]

I have to say, last Wednesday was definitely a very productive day; photographically speaking. Not only did I have a very successful night out with Phil, but I also managed to get some great results at the other end of the shutter speed spectrum. The image to the left is the most successful of a [...]
