A journey of discovery into a new hobby in which I hope one day you'll see a picture that isn't a stinker
It's funny the effect a bit of sunshine can have on the psyche. We often talk about how it can turn the biggest sourpuss into a grinning loon. I however, at this time of the year find myself thinking about the beach, and home.
Read MoreThis is my attempt to write a journal, something which gives a step by step guide to the creation of a new hobby. I have decided that I need a hobby, something that will get me out doors in the summer, and away from the TV and PS3.
The Hobby in question?
Photography: Basically it is my aim at some point in the future to find myself in a situation where I can take a picture that isn't a stinker.
Simple you'd think, time will tell I guess. Enjoy!
My name is Phil and I Manage On-line Communities at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, which is basically PlayStation.
This is a personal website focussed largely on my current plan to learn a bit about Photography, although I may well expand it over time. To learn more about my professional life, follow the link to either my twitter or LinkedIn accounts at the bottom of this page.
Thanks for visiting.
Interested in how this site started?
If you would like to find out why this site exists, and what on earth I expect to get out of it, then read the first post in my Journal.
It kind of explains what made me start all of this!

Warning: this is not a post about photography, although it does contain a few snaps of last nights indulgent idiocy. I want to write something down, as I have woken up this morning with a sense of... I want to say sadness, but it isn't that....

On 11th April 2012, I finally decided on a new hobby. To pick up a camera and see if I was capable of creating a picture that wasn't a stinker. During the next 12 months I can honestly say that I learned a lot, and thoroughly enjoyed experimenting and reading about the art of photography. What is the most important thing that I have learned? Probably, that after a year, I know next to nothing and will likely still be rubbish when I am an old man. (you can leave THAT joke at the door, thank you)
