30/9/11 - 'One Friend, One Object' I choose one friend and assign one object to them, the object may not mean anything to anyone else, but to me and hopefully the friend it will mean a lot.

A Glass of water, for me this object was an easy choice for this friend, you see water is a big part of his life, if he is not in it, he is on it, if he is not on it then he is under it, if he is not under it then he is very close by, in fact i wouldn't be surprised if he also drinks the stuff (crazy idea I know). So, who is this friend? its Keith Allso.

Day 274 - Jurassic Park The Musical

28/9/11 - 'One Friend, One Object' I choose one friend and assign one object to them, the object may not mean anything to anyone else, but to me and hopefully the friend it will mean a lot.

This object is for Darren Langford (or Darren Lang) and it is my very rare copy from the hit Broadway show Jurassic Park the Musical, It features amazing songs such as 'Its a Dinosaur' and 'The Veloceraptor Rap' plus those huge big band numbers like 'Chaos Theory' and 'Cow for Lunch', then you cant forget the romantic duets like 'It takes Two to Tango with a T-Rex' and 'Thats One Big Pile Of Shit'

This is Tom Butler, well no, this isn't Tom Butler as its a small female Viking, but this is Toms Object, you see Tom IS a Viking, I don't mean he is like a viking, I don't mean he wants to be a viking, I am NOT talking about him being a viking in the future or of being a viking in one of his many past lives , what I mean is Tom IS a Viking, all he needs is one of those Helmets.

This one is for one of my adventurous friends, the guy who likes to climb mountains, works in schools in Africa, goes Jet boating round the Isle of Wight, and knocks himself out on the island of Zanzibar (i think), Even though he does ALL those amazing things, I still chose a Cup of Tea for Chris Ayling.

ps, sorry Chris, it will be cold by the time you get it.

24/9/11 - Ok, This is something I have wanted to do for a while now, a mini series within my larger photo project, This mini series is entitled 'One Friend, One Object'.

The purpose of 'One Friend, One Object' is to choose one object for one of my friends, the object may not mean anything to anyone else, but to me and hopefully the friend it will mean a lot.

My first friend is Helen McGregor, a wonderful lady who lives in Oxford with some cats on a canal boat. her object is this matchbox and inside this matchbox there are one thousand wasps, yes a THOUSAND wasps. this matchbox full of wasps still makes me laugh a whole year after I found out about it and I thank Helen for those laughs (see I am laughing now just thinking about it)

17/9/11 - I have had a bit of a play with this photo, not sure if it works or not, the trouble with taking a photo thro the curved window of a Helicopter is that you end up with lots of reflections and they come out a little blurry but its worth a look anyway.

Day 264 - This little church was just across the road from the 700 year old Rødven Stave Church, I think there must have been some kind of law made years ago which states that ALL churches in Norway have to look as beautiful as possible.

Day 243 - Rødven Stave Church

28/8/11 - I decided to join one of the tours to go and see this little church during my last trip away, It is a traditional Stave church of which there are only around 30 left in the world, this one dates back to the 1300s and contains a crucifix dating back to the 1200s, its crazy to think these have been here for over 700 years.
