365 ~ Hipstamatic Week 18

This week the randomiser chose the Jack London Lens, inspired by vibrant Jack London Square in Oakland, California, this lens apparently adds a pop to any scene. I am not convinced. The film it chose is W40 which supposedly ‘heightens the excitement with this full-of-contrast film’. Wasn’t convinced about that either, but hey ho. Not my best week for taking photos, for various reasons, but here they are such as.

Monday 1st May
We had a quiet bank holiday today, a bit of housework and gardening done. Phil went out to the model club in the evening and took some of his work with him.

Tuesday 2nd May
Our office manager is on holiday so I get in early to open up and sort out the answer-phone emails and call back all the people who want appointments, so have been mad busy doing that and all my clients too. I was glad to get home and put my feet up. Bonnie & Clyde are still manning the rooftops.

Wednesday 3rd May
I’ve been going to the chiropracor twice a week, usually a Monday and Thursday but this week Wednesday instead of Monday because of the ruddy King’s thing. When I got home a little bit of sunshine happened, and Vinnie sat himself in a patch of it.

Thursday 4th May
Just before the Burritos and Movie night here started I remembered I’d forgotten to take a photo, so I took a quick snap of the making-of burritos, it’s pants, sorry.

pants shot.

Friday 5th May
The sun came out this afternoon and I got quite excited and went to sort my camera out for a walk. 15 minutes later it was chucking it down so I stayed home. Another rubbish shot but I wanted this to remind me of it’s rare appearance.

Saturday 6th May
Couldn’t leave Winnie out, she’s much better now, and not having to have painkillers at the mo. Phil and I watched a 2011 movie called The Guard tonight, starring Dominic Gleeson, Don Cheadle, Mark Strong & Liam Cunningham, I can highly recomend it. Synopsis ~ Sergeant Gerry Boyle is a small-town Irish cop with a confrontational personality, a subversive sense of humor, a dying mother, a fondness for prostitutes, and absolutely no interest whatsoever in the international cocaine-smuggling ring that has brought straight-laced FBI agent Wendell Everett to his door. A good story, a lot of humour and we liked it better than The Banshee of Innesherin but it’s got a similar vibe. Gleeson is great as the Irish cop.

Anyway, a bit of a lacklustre week photographically speaking, and I wasn’t all too keen on the results from this combination, I had to take and delete a lot to get anywhere. But onwards chums!….
