Toe Jammed Blurrs

I’m knackered. Even my vision is blurred :)

This is the effect from travelling halfway across the country to meet a bunch of photobloggers for a photowalk. Or in this case, it began with a trip to the ToeJam car boot sale at the back of the George Bernard Shaw pub in Portabello.

the collection 1 at rest
Which means that I’m now the proud owner of more books, a CD, the “best of” Mongrel collection and a new laptop. Actually an old heavy laptop which drove me to do silly things. It was going for €10, and at the moment it’s hard disc is getting a little TCL (via Spinrite) to make sure that it’s working.  If anything interesting shows up, I’ll blog it.

the collection 2 Darren, RedMum and Alexia chill

I will admit to a little camera envy. Mines small enough to fit in my (admittedly big) hands. Rather than the large lensed creatures the others were using. However something that fits in the pocket attracts a lot less attention.

the collection 3  no rest for the Triona

It was nice meeting some semi-familiar faces like Red Mum, Gingerpixel and Alexia, as well as new faces such as Davy Mc Donald, Caitriona, Iced Coffee, Nathalie Marquez Courtney and Eoghan Casey, and the other Eoin. But it was great (and a little weird) to meet some folk I know because I’ve been following their photos and websites for ideas, namely Darren Greene and McAWilliams.

Later on in the proceedings Debz showed up. So next time, how about something food related for the photomeet?

The results of out endavours will be appearing on our blogs, but keep an eye of the Flickr pool and the Pix.ie tags.

take care,
Will Knott
