You’re probably lost if you’ve arrived here. Sorry about that.
A man I used to know (and who has a propensity for photographing local prostitutes) recently informed me that no-one reads this bollocks anyway, or indeed looks at any of my photographs, so what’s the point of putting a button to have access to all this dross.
In case you’ve been living in a cave, you’ll probably already know that we’re about to embark on our second year of « the » pandemic. You’ll probably be sad to know that, as yet, I have not been infected – again, my apologies.
I continue boring the rocks, sorry, socks off everyone with my photographs of circus performers. A couple of new lenses, and a new camera body (soon) but you’re not here to read about this nonsense.
If you were looking for McDonalds, it’s here – bon appetit.
I’m very proud to announce the arrival of Jack, my grandson – he’s gorgeous and hairy (like his grandad) and was born on the 2nd of October 2020 – he and mummy (Leah) are doing very well and with a bit of luck we’ll get to see them at Christmas, confinement allowing….
Can’t wait!
Here’s another photo, taken by me when Jack was only 6 days old…
If you didn’t recognise her, or thought she might have been modeling tooth brushes, this is Ivanka Trump, the nearly past-Presidents daughter.
She’s not actually known for much more than being an attention-seeking bitch, but as she’ll soon be looking for a job, I’m warning LeClerc and Carrefour – don’t hire her – she’s toxic.
Remember – she’s the one back in July who suggested that people out-of-work should « Find Something Else » – well there you go darlin’ – time you looked for a real job no?
Oh, and if you do catch her filling shelves in Castorama, please let me know – I’d love to go and take a picture…
Hello again – we’re currently in our second week of our second season of lockdown, or ‘confinement’ as it’s called here in France. It’s not as restrictive as the first ‘season’ in that people who simply cannot work from home, are allowed to go into work.
We had a monster server crash at work, and so the past few weeks have been unusually busy for me, as in addition to a new server, we changed all of our computers – for the first ime since I took over control of the IT here, we all have machines using the latest operating systems.
Nikon have been busy too – a few of the previously announced lenses have finally begun to arrive on dealers shelves, and the ‘what’s next’ guessing-game was interuppted with the announce of the Z6ll and Z7ll mirroless camera updates. The bodies are essentially the same, with the addition of a second card slot and various software tweaks. Possibly the only really usefull addition was the new battery grip which is a real one this time, with buttons etc.

Going back to the title of this article, « Does it all really matter » – does it? Will it make me a better photographer if I buy an updated camera body?
Er….no – oh sure, there are certain features which make the experience possibly more comfortable – a second card slot for the 5% of people who saw this as a HUGE ommision, a one-stop increase low-light focus performance…
For me , the most useful new addition is the new battery grip, the NB-N11 – however, while we thought the existing ‘battery box’ the NB-N10 was expensive at 199€, adding a thumb wheel and a couple of buttons has increased the price by 200€ to 399€ – yeah right on Nikon!
I realise that their financials are not exactly wonderful at the moment, and they’re not selling as many mirrorless as they had predicted, but if they think they will increase their market hold with overpriced accessories…
In the open-ended list of nasty smells, the first one is mice shit. This is at the top, doesn’t smell too bad, but it ain’t roses either.
Going down the list from the top, things start getting worse…
At 5 there’s dog shit on the sole of your shoe…
At 37 there’s Donald Trump…
And somewhere in between the last two is Piers Morgan.
Morgan used to be a journalist, but now he’s become nothing short of the Daily Mails go-to superstar who intervenes trying to give some credibility to the worthless junk pedaled by the Mail. Doesn’t really work – most people who understand verbs can shoot holes in pretty much all of the rubbish he writes, but it can be mildly entertaining – emphasis on the « mildly »
He’s been busy slagging off the Donald recently – a thankless affair as despite all the criticisms, fact-checking etc. the man just won’t go away. But it does provide a relief from stories about Kim and her enormous arse, or Madonna and her saggy tits. But it smells.
This man has been photographed interviewing Trump, shaking hands with Trump, God knows what else with Trump…and I can’t help thinking it’s just another way for the Donald to get his name in print…
It’s fairly clear after the last 3 years or so, that’s all he’s really in this for, sadly.
« F**k the US, what’s in it for me » says Donald/Piers etc.
This person is Helen Degenerate – and he/she/it is a thoroughly nice person, really. He or should I say ‘she’ dresses up in mens clothing and has a television show in the United States. He/she/it considers him/herself/itself a comedien.
He/she/it is a classic know-it-all, been there, done that cross-dressing straight/gay person, and as such, by all accounts, is pretty full of him/her/itself.
« By all accounts » comes from a dozen or so people who have worked for this « person », and don’t consider him/her/it either very funny, nor, and this is more important, to actually ‘like’ or appreciate anyone other than he/she/itself. Infact of course this doesn’t really matter – who cares if he/she/it is a right real PITA – aside from the people who work for him/her/it!!
During the confinement in the US, he/her/it laid off a number of the technical staff who work on the famous « show » – and then decided to do the show from his/her/it’s house with a whole new crew! Not unnaturally, the original crew who were now unemployed were, how can I put this, justifiably pissed?
Well, let’s face it, when you think you’re a God, better act like one…
Multiply 60 (minutes) by 24 (hours) and you get 1440 (minutes in a day)
Yesterday, 29 July 2020 there were 1500 deaths attibuted to the COVID-19 virus in the United States.
This is more than one death for every single minute of the day.
Wake up you idiots – this is NOT going away quote ‘magically’ unquote Donald Trump, when the weather gets warmer.
Not wearing masks and not respecting social distancing DOES NOT make it go away.
Believing Doctors selling snake oïl remedies ‘made from alien DNA’ DOES NOT make it go away either.
Do SOMETHING for Christs sake – and fast, or worrying about the state of the economy will be the least of your concerns – there won’t be enough people left to RUN the economy.
Get rid of the orange haired baboon – he’s the one who needs a government health warning…
